Planning for the LDAP Naming Service in Trusted Extensions

If you are not planning to install a network of labeled systems, then you can skip this section. If you are planning to use LDAP, your systems must be configured as LDAP clients before you add the first labeled zone.

If you plan to run Trusted Extensions on a network of systems, use LDAP as the naming service. For Trusted Extensions. a populated Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (LDAP server) is required when you configure a network of systems. If your site has an existing LDAP server, you can populate the server with Trusted Extensions databases. To access the server, you set up an LDAP proxy on a Trusted Extensions system.

If your site does not have an existing LDAP server, you create an LDAP server on a system that is running Trusted Extensions software. The procedures are described in Chapter 5, Configuring LDAP for Trusted Extensions.
