Initializing a Client Manually

Superusers can perform manual client configurations. However, many of the checks are bypassed during the process, so it is relatively easy to mis-configure your system. In addition, you must change settings on every machine, instead of in one central place, as is done when using profiles.

How to initialize a client manually.

1. Become superuser.

2. Use ldapclient manual.

   # ldapclient manual —a domainName=dc=west.example.com \

   —a credentialLevel=proxy —a defaultSearchBase=dc=west, dc=example, dc=com \

   —a proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com \

   —a proxyPassword=testtest 192.168.0.0

3. Use ldapclient list to verify.

   NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0 NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}4a3788e8c053424f NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 192.168.0.0 NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=west,dc=example,dc=com NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy
