LDAP-UX Integration B.04.20 Release Notes (April 2010 Update)

4.3.1.1 Memory Requirements
This product has minimal memory and disk requirements. Your system should have at least 32
MB of main memory, and at least five megabytes of free disk space under /opt.
Depending on the size of your NIS maps and if you wish to cache that data in the NIS/LDAP
Gateway server, you will need additional physical main memory, approximately two to three
times the total size of your existing NIS maps.
4.3.2 Operating System Requirements
HP-UX 11i v1, v2, or v3.
4.3.3 Patch Requirements
The NIS/LDAP Gateway software has no specific patch requirements.
4.3.4 Preparing for Installation
Verify you have at least five megabytes of free disk space under /opt.
4.3.5 Installing the NIS/LDAP Gateway
Use the SD-UX facility for installation. See the swinstall(1M) manpage for details.
1. Log in to your system as root.
2. If a ypldapd server is already running on your system, terminate it with the kill(1) command.
3. Run swinstall and install the NisLdapServer product. This installs the product software
int he /opt/ldapux directory. No reboot is required.
4.3.6 Configuration Quick Start
If your NIS maps have been migrated to an LDAP directory, you can set up a ypldapd server
with only a few steps. If you have not migrated your NIS maps to the LDAP directory, see
Installing and Administering NIS/LDAP Gateway.
• If you have already configured other NIS/LDAP Gateway servers on other systems, you can
simply duplicate the configuration file /opt/ldapux/ypldapd/etc/ypldapd.conf on
the local system.
• Otherwise, edit the file /opt/ldapux/ypldapd/etc/ypldapd.conf and add the
appropriate values according to the descriptions in the file. Minimally you will need to
update the ypdomain, ldaphost, basedn, binddn and bindcred parameters. If you
have a large LDAP database and you are using 11i v1 or v2 NIS clients, you should set
preload_maps to preload_maps group.bynam. The user you identify in the binddn
must be an LDAP directory user that is allowed to read the userPassword attribute.
• If the NIS domain you use is the same as the domain being used by an existing NIS server,
you must stop and disable the NIS server. You can do this by executing the command
/sbin/init.d/nis.server stop to stop the NIS server. Then change
NIS_SLAVE_SERVER and NIS_MASTER_SERVER to 0 in the file
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs.
Once your NIS/Gateway server is running, you can test your setup with a ypcat(1) command,
such as ypcat group. You may need to wait (up to a minute) as the ypbind(1M) process attempts
to find the new NIS/LDAP Gateway server. To avoid this wait, you can stop and restart the client
as follows before issuing the ypcat command:
/sbin/init.d/nis.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nis.client start
