1.3 LDAP Client Administration Tools overview
The LDAP Client Administration Tools (NisLdapClient subproduct) is a sub-component of the
LdapUxClient. This tool set can help you manage user, group, and other information in an LDAP
directory. This sub-component contains the following files:
• Migration scripts can be used to convert NIS, NIS+ maps or corresponding /etc files into
LDIF files and import them into an LDAP directory server.
• LDAP User and Group management tools: A set of the LDAP command-line tools that allow
you to manage user and group information in an LDAP directory server. These LDAP tools
are ldapuglist, ldapugadd, ldapcfinfo, ldapugmod and ldapugdel.
• Basic LDAP administration tools: ldapmodify, ldapsearch, ldapdelete,ldapentry,
and ldappasswd.
• A contributed set of entry management tools that allow you to create or modify directory
entries.
Because the NIS/LDAP Gateway software emulates an NIS server, your NIS clients can start
using an LDAP directory server without installing this sub-component. However you may want
to install the LDAP Client Administration Tools on your NIS clients to allow your users to modify
their directory data, such as changing their password.
