ProcedureHow to Initialize a Client Manually

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Chapter 9, Using Role-Based Access Control (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Use ldapclient manual to initialize the client.


    # ldapclient manual \
    -a domainName=dc=west.example.com \
    -a credentialLevel=proxy \
    -a defaultSearchBase=dc=west,dc=example,dc=com \ 
    -a proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com \ 
    -a proxyPassword=testtest 192.168.0.1
    
  3. Use ldapclient list to verify.


    NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0
    NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com
    NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}4a3788e8c053424f
    NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 192.168.0.1
    NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=west,dc=example,dc=com
    NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy
