Enable an LDAP Client to Administer LDAP

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.

Before You Begin

You must be superuser or in the Security Administrator role in the global zone.

1. 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.
