2.4.1.6.5 Targeting Specific Servers
The ldapCliAuthentication.sh script includes a
--hostnames flag that allows running specific actions such as
--add-user-to-group, --remove-user-from-group, or
--add only on the specified servers, rather than applying changes
to all the servers.
To apply an action only to certain servers, run the below command as
admusr on Active NOAM (Network Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance) server of the DSR topology.
/usr/TKLC/appworks/bin/ldapCliAuthentication.sh --add --ldap-uri "<LDAP_SERVER_URI>" --port "389" --base-dn "<BASE_DN>" --hostnames '<HOSTNAME1>,<HOSTNAME2>'The above command performs LDAP configuration only on the specified hostnames, without this flag, the action applies to all the servers.
The --hostnames flag is supported for all the actions
supported by the ldapCliAuthentication.sh script except the
--delete flag.
Note:
- Recommended practice: Run commands without the
--hostnamesflag to ensure all servers remain consistent in their LDAP configuration, user permissions, and/etc/hostsentries. - This flag is primarily provided to accommodate newly added servers to the topology.
