Note:
Whenever you enable or disable the LDAP Module for System Authentication, you must reboot the system. Otherwise, some applications (such as cron and Advanced Server for UNIX) will not detect the change in authentication method.
Stopping the ldapcd Daemon
Use the ldap_disable utility to stop the LDAP caching daemon (ldapcd) and configure the system so that the LDAP Authentication will not be used.
You can also stop the ldapcd daemon using the Administration utility; see Section : Enabling and Disabling the LDAP Module.

Maintaining the LDAP Directory Server Using LDAP Commands
You can use LDAP commands (instead of the LDAP utilities supplied with Internet Express) to formulate different queries than those provided by the Internet Express LDAP utilities. The following sections describe how to use these commands to add and modify LDAP entries.
Adding Entries to an LDAP Database
To modify an entry in an existing LDAP database, you can use the ldapmodify command. In the following example, the ldapmodify command is reading from standard input:
#/usr/internet/ldap_sdk/tools/ldapmodify
dn: cn=Joseph Shmoe, o=HP Engineering, c=US
changetype: modify
replace: title
title: Process Engineer
-
^D
modifying entry cn=Joseph Shmoe, o=HP Engineering, c=US
You can use the ldapsearch command to retrieve the modified entry:
#/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch
cn=Joseph Shmoe, o=HP Engineering, c=US objectclass=person
cn=Joseph Shmoe cn=Joe Shmoe sn=Shmoe givenname=Joseph mail=shmoe@fac.digieng.com uid=jshmoe title=Process Engineer
