Administering LDAP-UX Client Services

 

 

Troubleshooting

Step

8. Examine the log file at /var/adm/syslog/debug.log to see what actions

 

 

were performed and if any are unexpected. Look for lines containing

 

 

“PAM_LDAP.”

 

 

 

TIP

 

Enable PAM logging only long enough to collect the data you need

 

 

because logging can significantly reduce performance and generate large

 

 

log files.

 

 

You may want to move the existing log file and start with an empty file:

 

 

mv /var/adm/syslog/debug.log /var/adm/syslog/debug.log.save. Then

 

 

restore the file when finished.

 

 

 

Netscape Directory Server Log Files

You can view log files to see if any unusual events have occurred with your directory. The Netscape Directory Server for HP-UX logs information to files under

/var/opt/Netscape/server4/slapd-<serverID>/logs

where slapd-<serverID>is the name of your directory server.

The error logs contain start-up, shut-down, and unusual events. The access logs contain all requests. See the Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide for details.

User Cannot Log on to Client System

If a user cannot log in to a client system, perform the following checks.

• Use a command like pwget(1) with -n, or nsquery(1)1 to verify that NSS is working:

pwget -n username nsquery passwd username

1. nsquery(1) is a contributed tool included with the ONC/NFS product.
