Installing And Conﬁguring LDAP-UX Client Services

Plan Your Installation

IMPORTANT	If you attempt to use this new feature, in the ldapclientd.conf
	ﬁle, the start conﬁguration parameter of the printer services
	section must be set to “yes”. If the start option is enabled, the
	printer conﬁgurator will start when ldapclientd is initialized. By
	default, the start parameter is enabled.

•Do you want to import the publickey schema into your LDAP directory if you choose to store and manage publickeys in the LDAP directory.

LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports discovery and management of publickeys in an LDAP directory. Both public and private (secret) keys, used by the SecureRPC API can be stored in user and host entries in an LDAP directory server, using the nisKeyObject objectclass.

•Do you want to import the automount schema into your LDAP directory server if you choose to store and manage automount maps in the LDAP directory?

LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports the automount service under the AutoFS subsystem. This new feature allows you to store or retrieve automount maps in/from an LDAP directory. LDAP-UX Client Services supports the new automount schema based on RFC2307-bis. The nisObject automount schema can also be used if conﬁgured via attribute mappings.

The setup program will import the new automount schema into your Netscape Directory Server. An obsolete automount schema is shipped with the Netscape Directory Server version 6.x. You must manually delete the obsolete automount schema before the setup program can successfully import the new automount schema into the LDAP directory.

For the detailed information about AutoFS with LDAP support, see “AutoFS Support” on page 55.

•What name services will you use? How will you set up /etc/nsswitch.conf? What order do you want NSS to try services?

NSS is the Name Service Switch, providing naming services for user names, group names, and other information. You can conﬁgure NSS to use ﬁles, ldap, or NIS in any order and with different parameters.
