CIFS9000 - Ldap

[Saguro]

Hi gurus,
I read many configuration documents but too many things are not yet clear to me.

1) May I use CIFS9000 box as Primary Domain Controller? I Mean, can I define a new domain with a CIFS9000 machine?

2) Is it possible to use Ldap server as user repository?


Thanks

Shalom Saguro,

The answer to both questions is yes.

LDAP

Note the above document is Linux however I think it will work just fine with HP-UX.

Hi Saguro,

Yes, sometimes it may not be well written but there is also a lot of documentation available (online) for HP CIFS Server (formerly known as CIFS9000).

The software depot page has many links that should be helpful in leading you to the areas you are interested in. http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA

HP CIFS provides an administrator's guide with chapters on how to configure CIFS as a PDC, http://docs.hp.com/en/B8725-90101/ch04s02.html,
and how to configure LDAP, http://docs.hp.com/en/B8725-90101/ch06.html.

Best of Luck,
Dave
