Re: solaris 10 as client to openldap
Finally I found out the following:
1. There seems to be a bug in opensolaris (I know, its not the same as
solaris) which seems related:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/printableBug.do?bug_id=6939899
2. The workaround is described here:
http://docs.alkaloid.net/index.php/Solaris_LDAP_client_with_OpenLDAP_server
Unter "Configure the client using a profile" the author writes:
"As noted above, however, the LDAP client seems to have some strange
behaviors. In the configuration profile shown above, anonymous access is
used to search the directory. However, unless a proxyDN and a
proxyPassword are specified, the ldap service refuses to start! A simple
way to make ldapclient and the cache manager happy is to provide those
credentials, even if they aren't valid."
So, for me, the following worked:
ldapclient -v init -a profileName=solarisbox -a
proxyDN=cn=fake,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -a proxyPassword=xxxx
192.168.0.5

Hi,
I am trying to set up an solaris 10 ldap client to work with an openldap
server.
The server serves the following profile:
dn: cn=solarisbox,ou=profile,dc=acme,dc=de
bindTimeLimit: 10
credentialLevel: anonymous
cn: solarisbox
profileTTL: 43200
searchTimeLimit: 30
defaultSearchScope: sub
followReferrals: TRUE
authenticationMethod: simple
defaultSearchBase: dc=acme,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: DUAConfigProfile
defaultServerList: 192.168.0.5
On the solaris box, I issue:
ldapclient -v init -a profileName=solarisbox 192.168.0.5
Parsing profileName=solarisbox
Arguments parsed:
profileName: solarisbox

I am not very familiar with solaris, so I just drop a few other things
that I found that seemed related:

I had a look at another solaris 10 machine (which I did not set up).
The file /var/ldap/ldap_client_file exists, but has no entry
'NS_LDAP_BINDDN'.
Also, I can't find some sort of bindDN option to ldapclient, nor can I
find an attribute of that kind for the profile.
Any hints on how to get this working?
