Maintaining the Directories

Make Changes Only on Solaris ISP Server Host

After reconfiguration, the Solaris ISP Server directory is actually the source of the subscriber data and any other directory information required to support it.

Do not use the Sun Internet Mail Server administration tools to modify or create entries in the directory.

Make all modifications on the Solaris ISP Server host, using the Sun Directory Services tools (ladpmodify or Deja, for example).

Use Network Encryption for Security

The replication of data across the network is insecure. Install the SunScreen SKIP software included with Solaris ISP Server on both directory hosts to encrypt all data passed between the two hosts. Refer to the SunScreen SKIP User's Guide for installation and configuration details.
