What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment

Native LDAP

Native Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provides the Naming Service switch back-end support for LDAP based directory service. With the Solaris 8 operating environment, network administrators can now specify LDAP as the desired name service to directory entry access by copying the nsswitch.ldap template file to /etc/nsswitch.conf.

For more information, see the Solaris Naming Administration Guide and the Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide.
