Solaris Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS and LDAP) describes the setup and administration of the Oracle Solaris OS (OS) naming and directory services: DNS, NIS, and LDAP. This guide is part of a multivolume set that covers a significant part of the Oracle Solaris administration information.
Note - This Oracle Solaris release supports systems that use the SPARC and x86 families of processor architectures. The supported systems appear in the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists. This document cites any implementation differences between the platform types.
In this document these x86 related terms mean the following:
“x86” refers to the larger family of 64-bit and 32-bit x86 compatible products.
“x64” relates specifically to 64-bit x86 compatible CPUs.
“32-bit x86” points out specific 32-bit information about x86 based systems.
For supported systems, see the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists.
This guide is written for experienced system and network administrators.
Although this book introduces networking concepts relevant to Oracle Solaris naming and directory services, it explains neither the networking fundamentals nor the administration tools in the Oracle Solaris release.
This guide is divided into parts according to the respective naming services.
Part I, About Naming and Directory Services
Part II, DNS Setup and Administration
Part III, NIS Setup and Administration
Part IV, LDAP Naming Services Setup and Administration
Part V, Active Directory Naming Service
