Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services

 

 

Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services

Step

3.

Specify the host name and optional port number where your directory is

 

 

running. If you choose to not use SSL, the default directory port number

 

 

is 389. If you choose to use SSL, the default directory port number is 636.

 

 

For high availability, each LDAP-UX client can look for user and group

 

 

information in up to three different directory servers. You are able to

 

 

specify up to three directory hosts, to be searched in order.

Step

4.

Reply “no” when asked if you want to accept the remaining default

 

 

configuration parameters.

Step

5.

Select the client binding you want from Appendix A, “Configuration

 

 

Worksheet,” on page 183. This determines the identity that client

 

 

systems use when binding to the directory to search for user and group

 

 

information.

Step

6.

If you configured a proxy user, enter the DN and password of your proxy

 

 

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

Step

7.

Enter the maximum time in seconds the client should wait for directory

 

 

searches before aborting. Enter 0 for no time limit.

Step

8.

Enter whether or not you want directory searches to follow referrals.

 

 

Referrals are a redirection mechanism supported by the LDAP protocol.

 

 

Please see your directory manuals for more information on referrals.

 

 

 

NOTE

 

If you want your directory searches to follow referrals, you must allow

 

 

anonymous access into your directories.

 

 

 

Step

9.

Enter the Profile TTL (Time To Live) value. This value defines the time

interval between automatic downloads (refreshes) of new configuration profiles from the directory. Automatic refreshing ensures that the client is always configured using the newest configuration profile.

If you want to disable automatic refresh or manually control when the refresh occurs, enter a value of 0. See “Download the Profile Periodically” on page 74.

Step 10. Next, the setup program will prompt you for the following information:
