Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services

Summary of Installing and Configuring

•Run the setup program to configure LDAP-UX Client Services on a client system. Setup does the following for you:

—Extends your Netscape directory schema with the configuration profile schema, if not already done.

—Imports the LP printer schema into your LDAP directory server if you choose to start the LDAP printer configurator.

—Imports the publickey schema into your LDAP directory if you choose to store the public keys of users and hosts in the LDAP directory.

—Imports the automount schema into your LDAP directory server if you choose to store the AutoFS maps in the LDAP directory.

—Creates a start-up file on the client. This enables each client to download the configuration profile.

—Creates a configuration profile of directory access information in the directory, to be shared by a group of (or possibly all) clients.

—Downloads the configuration profile from the directory to the client.

—Start the product daemon, ldapclientd, if you choose to start it. Starting with LDAP-UX Client B.03.20 or later, the client daemon must be started for LDAP-UX functions to work. With LDAP-UX Client B.03.10 or earlier, running the client daemon is optional.

See “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services” on page 27.

•Modify the files /etc/pam.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf on the client to specify LDAP authentication and name service, respectively. See “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services” on page 27.

•Optionally modify the disable_uid_range flag in the /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf file to disable logins to the local system from specific ldap users.

•Optionally modify the /etc/opt/ldapux/pam_authz.policy and

/etc/pam.conf files to verify the user access rights of a subset of users in a large repository needing access, if appropriate. See the pam_authz(5) man page for the command syntax.

•Verify each client is working properly. See “Verify the LDAP-UX Client Services” on page 68.

•See also “Configure Subsequent Client Systems” on page 72 for some shortcuts.
