Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
Import Name Service Data into Your Directory
The Look-through limit specifies the maximum number of directory entries to examine before aborting the search operation. The Size limit determines the maximum number of entries to return to any query before aborting. The All-IDs-Threshold specifies the number of entries that can be maintained for an index key. In general, it is bad practice to have an extremely large All-ID’s threashold, as it can dramatically increase the size of your directory server’s database. However, if you have a large number of posixAccounts, posixGroups or other form of RFC 2307 data that needs to be enumerated and you also have other large sets of data in your directory server, increasing the All-UID’s threashold to above the maximum number of posixAccounts, posixGroups, or others, can dramatically increase enumeration performance.
For information on these parameters and how to change them, see the Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide. See also “Minimizing Enumeration Requests” on page 125.
Step 11. If you want to enable SSL support with LDAP-UX, you need to turn on SSL in your directory server. For detailed information on how to set up and configure your Netscape Directory Server to enable SSL communication over LDAP, see “Managing SSL Chapter” in the Administrator’s Guide for Netscape Directory Server at http://enterprise.netscape.com/docs/directory/61/pdf/ds61admin.pdf
Import Name Service Data into Your
Directory
The next step is to import your name service data into your LDAP Directory. Here are some considerations when planning this:
•If you have already imported data into your directory with the NIS/LDAP Gateway product, LDAP-UX Client Services can use that data and you can skip to “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services” on page 27.
