LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.01 Administrator Guide for HP directory servers and Windows ADS

-f file configures the proxy user from the specified file (file). The file specification
must contain two lines: the first line must be the proxy user DN, and the second
line must be the proxy user credential or password.
CAUTION: After using this option you should delete or protect the file as it could
be a security risk.
-d DN sets the proxy user distinguished name to be DN. To use this option, the /etc/
opt/ldapux/pcred file must exist.
-c passwd sets the proxy user credential or password to be passwd. To use this option, the
/etc/opt/ldapux/pcred file must exist.
-p prints the distinguished name of the current proxy user.
-v verifies the current proxy user and credential by connecting to the server.
-h displays help on this command.
With no options, ldap_proxy_config configures the proxy user as specified in the file /etc/
opt/ldapux/pcred.
For the proxy user, if you switch the authentication method between simple and DIGEST-MD5, you
must use the ldap_proxy_config -e command to delete /etc/opt/ldapux/pcred, then
use the ldap_proxy_config -i command to reconfig the proxy user.
For the Admin Proxy user, if you switch the authentication method between simple and DIGEST-MD5,
you must use the ldap_proxy_config -A -e command to delete /etc/opt/ldapux/acred,
then use the ldap_proxy_config -A -i to reconfigure the Admin Proxy user.
