NIS-to-LDAP Transition Service

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 12/03 release.

The NIS-to-LDAP transition service can be used to enable a network transition from using NIS to using LDAP as the primary naming service. By using this transition service, administrators can utilize the bundled Sun ONE Directory Server, which works with LDAP naming service clients.

For further information, see the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
