Naming Service Support for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

Naming service support has been enhanced in the Solaris 9 release. Changes include the following:

• Simplified configuration for setup of the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 (formerly iPlanet Directory Server 5.1) by using idsconfig.

• A more robust security model – Supports strong authentication and TLS-encrypted sessions. A client's proxy credentials are no longer stored in a client's profile on the directory server.

• ldapaddent command – Enables you to populate and dump data onto the server.

• Service search descriptors and attribute mapping.

• New profile schemas.
