Local Client Attributes

The following table lists the client attributes that can be set locally using ldapclient. See the ldapclient(1M) man page for more information.

Table 9–3 Local Client Attributes


Attribute	Description
`adminDN`	Specifies the administrator entry's distinguished name for the admin credential. If the value of the `enableShadowUpdate` switch is `true` on the client system, and `credentialLevel` has a value other than `self`, then `adminDN` must be specified.
`adminPassword`	Specifies the administrator entry's password for the admin credential. If the value of the `enableShadowUpdate` switch is `true` on the client system, and `credentialLevel` has a value other than `self`, then `adminPassword` must be defined.
`domainName`	Specifies the client's domain name (which becomes the default domain for the client system). This attribute has no default value and must be specified.
`proxyDN`	The proxy's distinguished name. If the client system is configured with `credentialLevel` of `proxy`, the `proxyDN` must be specified.
`proxyPassword`	The proxy's password. If the client system is configured with `credentialLevel` of proxy, `proxyPassword` must be defined.
`certificatePath`	The directory on the local file system containing the certificate databases. If a client system is configured with `authenticationMethod` or `serviceAuthenticationMethod` using TLS, then this attribute is used. The default value is `/var/ldap`.

Note –

If the BaseDN in an SSD contains a trailing comma, it is treated as a relative value of the defaultSearchBase. The values of the defaultSearchBase are appended to the BaseDN before a search is performed.
