You must have the information for the LDAP client profile attributes. These attributes regulate client access to the server when requesting for information. For descriptions of these attributes, see Planning the Configuration of the LDAP Client Profile.
Client profile name.
List of LDAP servers.
Preferred order by which servers are accessed.
Typically, the server list and its access order consist of the servers' IP addresses. Alternatively, you can specify the servers' host names instead. However, if you use host names, you must not use LDAP for host lookup operations. Therefore, you must not configure ldap in the config/host property of the svc:/network/name-service/switch service. For more information about LDAP and service management facility (SMF), see LDAP and the Service Management Facility.
Scope of search on the directory tree. The default value is one, but you can specify sub.
Credential for accessing the server
Referrals to other LDAP servers if the information in the directory is distributed across multiple servers. The values are either No, the default value, or Yes.
Wait time for receiving server response to a request before timing out.
Maximum time for contacting the server before timing out.
Method of authentication.
To facilitate your preparation of client profile information, use the sample checklist in Blank Checklists for Configuring LDAP that lists these variables and the corresponding values that you want to assign.
