environment. LDAP-UX can take advantage of replica directory servers and the alternates if one of them fails. Follow these steps to inform LDAP-UX about multiple directory servers:

Create and configure your LDAP directory replica. For Netscape Directory Server for HP-UX, see the Netscape Directory Server Deployment Guide.

Edit an existing profile and modify the defaultServerList or preferredServerList attribute to specify a replica directory server. See “Modifying a Profile” on page 122.

See Appendix B, “LDAP-UX Client Services Object Classes,” on page 187 for a description of the defaultServerList or preferredServer attribute.

On all clients that are to use the replica server, edit the start-up file, /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf, to refer to the replica host. Modify the LDAP_HOSTPORT line to specify the replica server.

After modifying an existing profile, each client that regularly downloads its profile automatically will get the changes as scheduled. See“Download the Profile Periodically” on page 74.

Client systems using an LDAP directory replica may not be able to modify the directory replica. In this case, the passwd(1) command will not work on those systems. They can use the ldappasswd(8) command described under “The ldappasswd Command” on page 166.

Displaying the Proxy User’s DN

You can display the proxy user’s distinguished name by running /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -p.

The following command displays the current proxy user:

ldap_proxy_config -p

PROXY DN: uid=proxy,ou=people,o=hp.com
