NIS+ to LDAP Migration Guide

Migrating NIS+ to LDAP
Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
Chapter 2 33
• AutoFS is a client-side service that supports automatic mounting
and unmounting of file systems. LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00
supports the automount service under the AutoFS subsystem. This
new feature allows you to store and manage AutoFS maps in an
LDAP directory. To enable AutoFS for LDAP support, you must
configure the Name Service Switch (NSS).
Save a copy of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and modify the original
to add an entry for LDAP support to the automount service as
follows:
automount: files ldap
Refer to the /etc/nsswitch.ldap file for a sample.
For the detailed information on how to configure LDAP-UX Client
Services with AutoFS support, refer to the “AutoFS Support” section
in LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 Administrator’s Guide.
• Run the setup program. The setup program provides the following
assistance:
— Extends your Netscape directory schema with the configuration
profile schema, if not already done
— Extends your Netscape directory schema with the LDAP printer
schema if you choose to start the LDAP printer configurator
— Extends your Netscape directory schema with the automount
schema if you choose to migrate AutoFS maps to the Netscape
Directory Server
— Extends your Netscape directory schema with the public key
schema if you choose to migrate the NIS+ credential table entries
with public key/security key to the Netscape Directory Server
— Provides the option to enable SSL for secure communication
between LDAP clients and Netscape Directory Servers
— Optionally configures SASL Digest-MD5 authentication (for
Netscape Directory only)
— Creates a configuration profile entry in your Netscape directory
from information you provide
— Updates the local client’s start-up file
(/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf) with your directory
and configuration profile location
— Downloads the configuration profile from the directory to your
local client system
— Configures a proxy user for the client, if needed
— Starts the Client Daemon if you choose to start it
