Verifying ldap_cachemgr Is Running

The ldap_cachemgr daemon must be running and functioning correctly at all times. Otherwise, the system doesn't work. When you start the LDAP client, the client starts ldap_cachemgr daemon automatically. So, if the ldap_cachemgr is not running, the LDAP client will be disabled. Following are two methods for determining if the LDAP client is online.

• Use the svcs command.

  # svcs \*ldap\* STATE STIME FMRI disabled Aug_24 svc:/network/ldap/client:default

  or

  # svcs -l network/ldap/client:default fmri svc:/network/ldap/client:default enabled true state online next_state none restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default contract_id 1598 dependency require_all/none file://localhost/var/ldap/ldap_client_file (-) dependency require_all/none svc:/network/initial (online) dependency require_all/none svc:/system/filesystem/minimal (online)

• Pass the -g option to ldap_cachemgr.

  This option provides more extensive status information, which is useful when you diagnose a problem.

  # /usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr -g cachemgr configuration: server debug level 0 server log file "/var/ldap/cachemgr.log" number of calls to ldapcachemgr 19 cachemgr cache data statistics: Configuration refresh information: Previous refresh time: 2001/11/16 18:33:28 Next refresh time: 2001/11/16 18:43:28 Server information: Previous refresh time: 2001/11/16 18:33:28 Next refresh time: 2001/11/16 18:36:08 server: 192.168.0.0, status: UP server: 192.168.0.1, status: ERROR error message: Can't connect to the LDAP server Cache data information: Maximum cache entries: 256 Number of cache entries: 2
