NAME

ldapclientd.conf - conﬁguration ﬁle for the LDAP client daemon process

SYNOPSIS

/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf

DESCRIPTION

ldapclientd.conf

is the conﬁguration ﬁle for /opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd

, an LDAP client

daemon process that enables LDAP-UX clients to work with Directory Servers.

ldapclientd caches

entries, supports multiple domains in the Windows 2000/2003/2003 R2 Active Directory Server (ADS),

automatically downloads the conﬁguration proﬁles, supports X.500 group membership, maintains and

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

ldapclientd uses default values for any settings absent from the conﬁguration ﬁle.

If an older version of

ldapclientd.conf

exists during installation of LDAP-UX, LDAP-UX stores the

new conﬁguration ﬁle in

/opt/ldapux/newconfig/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf

and

continues to use the old

/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf

conﬁguration ﬁle.

Conﬁguration File Syntax

The

ldapclientd.conf

conﬁguration ﬁle uses the following syntax:

# comment

[section ]

setting =value

...

[section ]

setting =value

...

The areas in the conﬁguration ﬁles are:

# comment ldapclientd ignores any line beginning with a # delimiter.

section The conﬁguration ﬁle is segregated into sections where each section begins with the

section name enclosed by

[]. Valid section names are:

[StartOnBoot] [general] [passwd]

[group] [netgroup] [uiddn]

[domain_pwd] [domain_grp] [automount]

[automountmap] [dynamic_group] [printers]

setting Specify the setting to conﬁgure. The allowed parameter keywords are different for

each section . See Conﬁguration Sections below for details.

value The valid values of each setting will depend on which parameter is speciﬁed. The

valid value can be

yes | no | number

Conﬁguration Sections

The valid sections for the

ldapclientd.conf conﬁguration ﬁles are described here:

[StartOnBoot] Determines if ldapclientd starts automatically when the system boots. The

valid setting are:

enable=yes|no By default, this is enabled after LDAP-UX has been

conﬁgured by /opt/ldapux/config/setup, the LDAP-

UX setup program

[general] Any cache setting except cache_size deﬁned here will be used as default settings

for all caches (passwd, group, netgroup, uiddn, domain_pwd, domain_grp,

automount, automountmap, and dynamic_group). The cache_size set-

ting deﬁned here will be used for all caches except dynamic_group.

The following setting can be deﬁned in this section:

max_conn=2-500

ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) NAME ldapclientd.conf - configuration file for the LDAP client daemon process SYNOPSIS /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf DESCRIPTION ldapclientd.conf is the configuration file for /opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd, an LDAP client daemon process that enables LDAP-UX clients to work with Directory Servers.
PAGE 2
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) directory server (or multiple servers when in a multi-domain environment. Default value is 100. connection_ttl=1-2147483647 Seconds before an inactive connection to the directory server is brought down and cleaned up. Default value is 300. num_threads=1-100 Number of client request handling threads in ldapclientd. Default value is 10.
PAGE 3
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) [general] section will override poscache_ttl defaults in other sections (when there is no specific poscache_ttl definition under that section). negcache_ttl=1-2147483647 Seconds before a cache entry expires from the negative cache. Like, poscache_ttl, there is no [general] default value for this setting. Each cache section has its own default.
PAGE 4
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) By default, caching is enabled. poscache_ttl=0-2147483647 Seconds before a cache entry expires from the positive cache. Since people are added and removed from groups occasionally, this value is typically not large. If dynamic_group caching is enabled, this value must be less than poscache_ttl of [dynamic_group]. Default value is 240. negcache_ttl=1-2147483647 Seconds before a cache entry expires from the negative cache.
PAGE 5
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) By default, caching is enabled. poscache_ttl=0-2147483647 Seconds before a cache entry expires from the positive cache. For the same reasons described in [domain_pwd] section, the cache is typically valid for a long time. Default value is 86400. negcache_ttl=1-2147483647 Seconds before a cache entry expires from the negative cache. Default value is 86400. [automount] Cache settings for the automount cache (which caches automount information).
PAGE 6
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) [group]. Default value is 43200 (i.e. 12 hours). [printers] User configurable parameters for the printer configurator. start= yes|no Define the status of the printer configurator when ldapclientd starts. yes means printer configurator service will be enabled when ldapclientd starts. no means printer configurator will be disabled when ldapclientd starts. By default, the printer configurator is enabled.
PAGE 7
ldapclientd.conf(4) ldapclientd.conf(4) enable=yes [automountmap] enable=yes [dynamic_group] cache_size=20000000 enable=yes poscache_ttl=5500000 [printers] start=yes max_printers=50 search_interval=86400 DIAGNOSTICS problem reading configuration file When ldapclientd starts, it reads the configuration file and points out errors during parsing. This error message is accompanied by the line showing exactly where ldapclientd could not recognize the syntax or found that the setting is out of range.
