Creating a Trusted Extensions Proxy for an Existing Sun Java System Directory Server

First, you need to add the Trusted Extensions databases to the existing Directory Server on a Solaris system. Second, to enable Trusted Extensions systems to access the Directory Server, you then need to configure a Trusted Extensions system to be the LDAP proxy server.

Create an LDAP Proxy Server

If an LDAP server already exists at your site, create a proxy server on a Trusted Extensions system.

Before You Begin

You have added the databases that contain Trusted Extensions information to the LDAP server. For details, see Populate the Sun Java System Directory Server.

1. On a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions, create a proxy server.

   For details, see Chapter 12, Setting Up LDAP Clients (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).

2. Verify that the Trusted Extensions databases can be viewed by the proxy server.

   # ldaplist -l database
