You can use the ldapclient command without a profile to modify a client configuration. Frequently, modification affects only a limited number of client attributes, so a single command line that modifies all the selected attributes suffices.
Modify an LDAP client to use simple authentication method. For example:
# ldapclient mod -a authenticationMethod=simple
Modify a configured LDAP client to enable updating of shadow data. For example:
# ldapclient mod -a enableShadowUpdate=TRUE \ -a adminDN=cn=admin,ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com \ -a adminPassword=admin-password System successfully configured
