Determine the system's main hostname and IP address.
If you are using DHCP, skip this step.
The hostname is the name of the host on the network, and is the global zone. On a Solaris system, the getent command returns the hostname, as in:
# getent hosts machine1 192.168.0.11 machine1 |
Determine the IP address assignments for labeled zones.
If you are using DHCP, skip this step.
A system with two IP addresses can function as a multilevel server. A system with one IP address must have access to a multilevel server in order to print or perform multilevel tasks. For a discussion of IP address options, see Planning for Multilevel Access.
Most systems require a second IP address for the labeled zones. For example, the following is a host with a second IP address for labeled zones:
# getent hosts machine1-zones 192.168.0.12 machine1-zones |
Collect LDAP configuration information.
For the LDAP server that is running Trusted Extensions software, you need the following information:
The name of the Trusted Extensions domain that the LDAP server serves
The IP address of the LDAP server
The LDAP profile name that will be loaded
For an LDAP proxy server, you also need the password for the LDAP proxy.
