Sun Directory Services

This section describes the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) utilities. These commands are in the /opt/SUNWconn/ldap/bin and /opt/SUNWconn/ldap/sbin directories. The SIMS directory service stores naming and addressing information for the components of SIMS, and profiles for the users of those components. For example:

The IMTA uses the directory to store email user profiles and distribution lists.
The Legacy Services Hub uses the directory to synchronize information held in various proprietary directories and messaging systems.
The Internet Message Access Server uses the directory to verify the credentials of users and to store user message store configuration information.

The following command line utilities are used for directory usage and are outlined in this section. Detailed information about these utilities can be found in their individual man pages.
