Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services

Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services

After you configure your directory and the first client system, configuring additional client systems is simpler. Refer to “Configure Subsequent Client Systems” on page 72 for more information.

 

 

Quick Configuration

 

 

You can quickly configure a Netscape directory and the first client by

 

 

letting most of the configuration parameters take default values as

 

 

follows. For a custom configuration, see “Custom Configuration” on

 

 

page 34.

 

 

The steps described below assume that you don’t use SSL support with

 

 

LDAP-UX. If you want to enable SSL support, see “Custom

 

 

Configuration” on page 34.

Step

1.

Log in as root and run the Setup program:

 

 

cd /opt/ldapux/config

 

 

./setup

 

 

The Setup program asks you a series of questions and usually provides

 

 

default answers. Press the Enter key to accept the default, or change the

 

 

value and press Enter. At any point during setup, enter Control-b to back

 

 

up or Control-c to exit setup.

Step

2.

Choose Netscape Directory as your LDAP directory server (option 1).

Step

3.

Enter either the host name or IP address of the directory server where

 

 

your profile exists, or where you want to create a new profile from

 

 

Appendix A, “Configuration Worksheet,” on page 183.

Step

4.

Enter the port number of the previously specified directory server that

 

 

you want to store the profile from Appendix A, “Configuration

 

 

Worksheet,” on page 183. The default port number is 389.

Step

5.

If the profile schema has already been imported, setup skips this step.

 

 

Otherwise, enter “yes” to extend the profile schema if the schema has not

 

 

been imported with LDAP-UX Client Services object class

 

 

DUAConfigProfile. See Appendix B, “LDAP-UX Client Services Object

 

 

Classes,” on page 187 for a detailed description of this object class.

Step

6.

If the LDAP printer schema has already been extended, setup skips this

 

 

steps. Otherwise, enter “yes” to extend the LP printer schema if you

 

 

choose to start the printer configurator. The LDAP printer configurator is

 

 

a feature that simplifies the LP printer management by refreshing LP
