Hi,
Where can I get documentation about configuring solaris clients ?
Thanks in advance,
Ramon,
I got it working in Solaris 9 in the following fashion:
To set up a Solaris 9 machine for LDAP instead of NIS, one simply needs to
do the following:
edit /etc/nsswitch.ldap
Change the hosts: line from
hosts: ldap [blah.....] files
to
hosts: files dns
and then run this command:
ldapclient manual -a authenticationMethod=none -a
defaultSearchBase=dc=stanford,dc=edu -a
defaultServerList="ldap-test1.Stanford.EDU" -a domainName="stanford.edu" -a
followReferrals=false -a
serviceSearchDescriptor=passwd:cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu\?sub -a
serviceSearchDescriptor=group:cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu\?sub
Of course, this only works for Stanford, but it gives you an idea how to
configure it.
For Solaris 8:
1. Create /var/ldap/ldap_client_file
#
# Do not edit this file manually; your changes will be lost.Please use
ldapclien
t (1M) instead.
#
NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 1.0
NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 172.24.14.237:389
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=stanford,dc=edu
NS_LDAP_AUTH= NS_LDAP_AUTH_NONE
NS_LDAP_TRANSPORT_SEC= NS_LDAP_SEC_NONE
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= NS_LDAP_NOREF
NS_LDAP_DOMAIN= stanford.edu
NS_LDAP_EXP= 1045640377
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_DN= passwd:(cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu),
group:(cn=accounts,d
c=stanford,dc=edu)
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= NS_LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30
2.Create /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred:
#
# Do not edit this file manually; your changes will be lost.Please use
ldapclient (1M) instead.
#
NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
3. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf so the passwd: line to read:
passwd: file ldap
4. tests:
/usr/bin/listuser
