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

NOTE: If your search filters overlap, enumeration requests will result in duplicate entries
being returned. For example, if one search filter searched a subset of your organization and
a second search filter searched your entire organization, an enumeration request would return
duplicate entries.
For more information, see Section 7.12.1 (page 247).
To begin the process to create custom search descriptors, setup will prompt you for the
following information:
LDAP-UX Client Services supports the following services:
1.Password 7.Networks
2.Shadow passwd 8.Hosts
3.Group 9.Services
4.PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module)10.Printers
5.RPC 11.Automount
6.Protocols 12.Netgroup
You can create up to three custom search descriptors for each name
service to search different locations in the directory for user
and group information.
Do you want to create custom search descriptors? [No]:
Enter yes if you want to create custom search descriptors for any of the supported services.
Then enter the number of the service for which you want to create a custom search descriptor.
If, you do not want to create custom search descriptors, enter no to this prompt to continue
to the next step.
Creating the nisObject search filter
LDAP-UX Client Services uses the automount search filter for the automount service as default.
If you want to create the nisObject search filter for the automount service to search a different
location in the directory, use the following steps:
1. Enter yes for the following question and press Enter:
Do you want to create custom search descriptors? [No]: yes Enter
2. Next, a screen displays the following information:
To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Return key.
search base [dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com]:
search scope (base, one, sub) [sub]
Search filter [(objectclass=automount)]
If you want to create the nisObject search filter for the automount service, then enter
(objectclass=nisObject) for the following prompt and press Enter; otherwise press
Enter to accept the default search filter, objectclass=automount:
Search filter [(objectclass=automount)]: Enter (objectclass=nisObject)
12. You are asked whether or not you want to start the client daemon. For LDAP-UX Client B.03.20
or later versions, the client daemon must be started for LDAP-UX functions to work. With
LDAP-UX Client B.03.10 and previous releases, the client daemon is optional, and should be
turned on in order to provide better prformance (response time) and for the X.500 group
membership to work.
2.4.5.3 Remapping attributes for services
This section describes detailed procedures on how to perform attribute mappings for automount,
dynamic group and X.500 group membership services.
