Table 13–3 Local Client Attributes

Description 

domainName

Specifies the client's domain name (which becomes the default domain for the client machine). This attribute has no default value and must be specified. 

proxyDN

The proxy's distinguished name. If the client machine is configured with credentialLevel of proxy, the proxyDN must be specified.

proxyPassword

The proxy's password. If the client machine is configured with credentialLevel of proxy, proxyPassword must be defined.

certificatePath

The directory on the local file system containing the certificate databases. If a client machine is configured with authenticationMethod or serviceAuthenticationMethod using TLS, then this attribute is used. The default value is /var/ldap.


Note –

If the BaseDN in an SSD contains a trailing comma, it is treated as a relative value of the defaultSearchBase. The values of the defaultSearchBase are appended to the BaseDN before a search is performed.
