The section summarizes the steps you take when migrating NIS+ service

 

 

data from the NIS+ server to the LDAP directory server:

Step

1.

Install and configure an Netscape Directory Server, if not already done to

 

 

replace the NIS+ root master server or subdomain master server. See

 

 

“Installing and Configuring Your LDAP Directory Server” on page 19 for

 

 

an overview of the task.
