DESCRIPTION

ldapclientd is a daemon process that enables LDAP-UX. It enables LDAP-UX clients to work with

LDAP directory servers. ldapclientd caches entries, supports multiple domains in the Windows

2000/2003/2003 R2 Active Directory Server (ADS), supports X.500 group membership, maintains connec-

tions to the LDAP Directory Server, and manages remote LP printers.

In addition to handling communication and maintaining the connection between the LDAP-UX client and

LDAP directory server,

ldapclientd provides the following:

• Services:

1. Enables LDAP-UX to use LDAP directory servers to support these services:

automount

group (including dynamic groups)

hosts

netgroup

networks

passwd

printers

protocols

rpc

services

X.500 group membership

Note: LDAP-UX does not support

netgroup with the Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/2003 R2

Active Directory Server.

• Performance:

1. Caches entries to reduce LDAP-UX client response time retrieving:

automount

group (including dynamic groups)

netgroup

passwd

X.500 group membership

Note: Since

pwgrd still caches passwd and group entries that did not come from the directory

server (ldapclientd only caches entries from directory servers), pwgrd is still useful to main-

tain high performance.

2. Reuses and maintains connections to the directory server, reducing binding and disconnection

which signiﬁcantly reduces the load on the server and network trafﬁc.

• Capability:

1. Multiple domain Active Directory Server (ADS).

Enables LDAP-UX to use multiple domains for directory servers like Windows 2000/2003/2003

R2 Active Directory Server (ADS). It allows PAM_Kerberos to authenticate POSIX users stored in

remote domains.

2. Automatic proﬁle downloading.

Updates the LDAP client conﬁguration proﬁle by downloading a newer copy from the directory

server as the current one’s

profileTTL (Time To Live) expires.

ldapclientd(1M) ldapclientd(1M) 3. Management of remote LP printer configuration. Searches printer objects configured in LDAP server. Accordingly, add/modify/remove printers for the local system. By default, the printer configurator is enabled. By default, ldapclientd starts at system boot time. The ldapclientd command can be used to launch the daemon or control it when the daemon is already running. Options The following ldapclientd options are supported. These options can be used only by a superuser.
PAGE 3
ldapclientd(1M) ldapclientd(1M) -E [cache] Enable cache. Without the cache name, all valid cache names are shown. -f Flush all caches. -h Invoke help. -k Kill the LDAP client daemon. This option sends a signal to the currently running ldapclientd daemon, causing it to exit gracefully. This option is equivalent to: kill ‘head -1 /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.pid‘ -L List available cache names. -o target Set log output to a target stream.

ldapclientd(1M) ldapclientd(1M) problem reading configuration file The /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf file is missing or has a syntax error. If it is syntax, the error message is accompanied by a line showing exactly where ldapclientd could not recognize the syntax or found that the setting is out of range. WARNINGS Whenever the system is rebooted, ldapclientd launches if [StartOnBoot] has enable=yes in the ldapclientd configuration file, /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf.
