Changing from Anonymous Access to Proxy Access

 

 

Changing from Anonymous Access to Proxy

 

 

Access

 

 

If you have anonymous access and you want to change to using a proxy

 

 

user, do the following:

Step

1.

Create the proxy user in the directory. With Netscape Directory Server,

 

 

you can use the Netscape Console.

Step

2.

Change the credentialLevel attribute in your profile to be “proxy” using

 

 

your directory administration tools, for example the Netscape Console.

 

 

If you want proxy access with anonymous access as a backup if proxy

 

 

access fails, change credentialLevel to be “proxy anonymous”.

Step

3.

Download the profile to the client. If you have an automated process to

 

 

download the profile, you can wait until it executes. Or you can download

 

 

the profile manually by running the following command:

cd /opt/ldapux/config

./get_profile_entry -s nss

You can verify that the proxy user is configured with

display_profile_cache and ldap_proxy_config. display_profile_cache displays the current configuration profile, including the credential level, which is either “proxy,” “anonymous,” or “proxy anonymous.” ldap_proxy_config displays and verifies the proxy user the client is configured to use. See “The display_profile_cache Tool” on page 144, “The ldap_proxy_config Tool” on page 146, and “The get_profile_entry Tool” on page 145 for more information.
