The Solaris Management Console is the GUI for administering the network of systems that are running Trusted Extensions.
Task |
Description |
For Instructions |
---|---|---|
Initialize the Solaris Management Console. |
Initialize the Solaris Management Console. This procedure is performed once per system in the global zone. |
Initialize the Solaris Management Console Server in Trusted Extensions |
Register credentials. |
Authenticate the Solaris Management Console with the LDAP server. |
Register LDAP Credentials With the Solaris Management Console |
Enable LDAP administration on a system. |
By default, LDAP administration is turned off at installation. You explicitly enable particular systems to be LDAP administration systems. | |
Create the LDAP toolbox. |
Create the LDAP toolbox in the Solaris Management Console for Trusted Extensions. | |
Verify communications. |
Verify that Trusted Extensions hosts can become LDAP clients. |
You must be the root user on an LDAP server that is running Trusted Extensions. The server can be a proxy server.
Your Sun Java System Directory Server must be configured. You have completed one of the following configurations:
Configuring an LDAP Server on a Trusted Extensions Host (Task Map)
Configuring an LDAP Proxy Server on a Trusted Extensions Host (Task Map)
Register the LDAP administrative credentials.
# /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup storeCred Administrator DN:Type the value for cn on your system Password:Type the Directory Manager password Password (confirm):Retype the password |
Verify communications with the Directory Server.
# /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup scopes Getting list of manageable scopes... Scope 1 file:Displays name of file scope Scope 2 ldap:Displays name of ldap scope |
Your LDAP server setup determines the LDAP scopes that are listed. After the server is registered, the LDAP toolbox can be edited, and then used.
In this example, the name of the LDAP server is LDAP1, the name of the LDAP client is myhost, and the value for cn is the default, Directory Manager.
# /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup storeCred Administrator DN:cn=Directory Manager Password:abcde1;! Password (confirm):abcde1;! # /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup scopes Getting list of manageable scopes... Scope 1 file:/myhost/myhost Scope 2 ldap:/myhost/cd=myhost,dc=example,dc=com |
By default, systems are installed to not listen on ports that present security risks. Therefore, you must explicitly turn on network communications with the LDAP server. Perform this procedure only on systems from which you plan to administer your network of systems and users.
You must be superuser or in the Security Administrator role in the global zone.
Enable the system to administer LDAP.
# svccfg -s wbem setprop options/tcp_listen=true |
To view the LDAP toolbox, you must complete Edit the LDAP Toolbox in the Solaris Management Console.
You must be superuser. The LDAP credentials must be registered with the Solaris Management Console, and you must know the output of the /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup scopes command. For details, see Register LDAP Credentials With the Solaris Management Console.
Find the LDAP toolbox.
# cd /var/sadm/smc/toolboxes/tsol_ldap # ls *tbx tsol_ldap.tbx |
Provide the LDAP server name.
Open the trusted editor.
Copy and paste the full pathname of the tsol_ldap.tbx toolbox as the argument to the editor.
For example, the following path is the default location of the LDAP toolbox:
/var/sadm/smc/toolboxes/tsol_ldap/tsol_ldap.tbx |
Replace the scope information.
Replace the server tags between the <Scope> and </Scope> tags with the output of the ldap:/...... line from the /usr/sadm/bin/dtsetup scopes command.
<Scope>ldap:/<myhost>/<dc=domain,dc=suffix></Scope> |
Replace every instance of <?server?> or <?server ?> with the LDAP server.
<Name> ldap-server-name: Scope=ldap, Policy=TSOL</Name> services and configuration of ldap-server-name.</Description> and configuring ldap-server-name.</Description> <ServerName>ldap-server-name</ServerName> <ServerName>ldap-server-name</ServerName> |
Save the file, and exit the editor.
Stop and start the wbem service.
The smc daemon is controlled by the wbem service.
# svcadm disable wbem # svcadm enable wbem |
In this example, the name of the LDAP server is LDAP1. To configure the toolbox, the administrator replaces the instances of server with LDAP1.
<Name>LDAP1: Scope=ldap, Policy=TSOL</Name> services and configuration of LDAP1.</Description> and configuring LDAP1.</Description> <ServerName>LDAP1</ServerName> <ServerName>LDAP1</ServerName> |
You must be logged in to an LDAP client in an administrative role, or as superuser. To make a system an LDAP client, see Make the Global Zone an LDAP Client in Trusted Extensions.
To use the LDAP toolbox, you must have completed Edit the LDAP Toolbox in the Solaris Management Console and Initialize the Solaris Management Console Server in Trusted Extensions.
Start the Solaris Management Console.
# /usr/sbin/smc & |
Open a Trusted Extensions toolbox.
A Trusted Extensions toolbox has the value Policy=TSOL.
Under System Configuration, navigate to Computers and Networks, then Security Templates.
Check that the correct templates and labels have been applied to the remote systems.
To troubleshoot LDAP configuration, see Chapter 13, LDAP Troubleshooting (Reference), in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
