Using Proxy Credentials

How to Initialize a Client using Proxy Credentials

1. Become superuser.

2. Run ldapclient (defining proxy values).

   # ldapclient init -a proxyDn=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com -a domainname=west.example.com -a profilename=pit1 -a proxypassword=test1234 192.168.0.0

   System successfully configured

The -a proxyDn and -a proxypassword are required if the profile to be used is setup for proxy. As the credentials are not stored in the profile saved on the server, you need to supply the information when you initialize the client. This method is more secure than the older method of storing the proxy credentials on the server.

The proxy info will be used to create the /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred and the rest of the information will be put in /var/ldap/ldap_client_file.

DO NOT edit either the client configuration files directly. Use ldapclient to create or modify the content of these files.
