a.In general, non-standard NIS+ maps should be converted into LDAP-based schemas. This procedure generally requires migration consultation from LDAP experts.

If you change the default naming context, modify the file migrate_common.ph and change it to reflect your naming context.

Migrating The Credential Table

The cred_table_sort.pl uses the niscat command to retrieve the credential table entries including public keys and secret (private) keys of users and hosts from the NIS+ server. This tool then generates the passwd.cred.etc and host.cred.etc files in the flat (etc) format. The passwords, hosts and credential tables are generated after you run the cred_table_sort.pl script.

In an LDAP directory, the public keys and secret (private) keys are stored in the same directory entries for which those keys are associated with. Because of this, the tables generated by the cred_table_sort.pl script must be migrated into the passwd.ldif and hosts.ldif files. You must manually use the /opt/ldapux/migrate/migrate_passwd.pl script to migrate the passwd.cred.etc file to the passwd.ldif file and use the /opt/ldapux/migrate/migrate_hosts.pl script to migrate the host.cred.etc file to the hosts.ldif file.

The public keys and secret keys for hosts are migrated to the ou=hosts container.

Use the following steps to migrate the credential table from NIS+ server to the hosts.ldif file and passwd.ldif file:

Step 1. Log in as root on your NIS+ client system and run the following cd command to go to the subdirectory where the migration scripts are located:
