LDAP Server

[Roger G. Vincent]

I was told that HPUX 11.0 comes with a LDAP server. Is this true? If yes, is it a full version of the software or do I need to get a vendor X version of the software.

[Anthony Goonetilleke]

Yes I did here this as well have a look at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/internet/

which seems to suggest an LDAP-UX client and some NIS/LDAP integration

LDAP Cookbook

LDAP is an internet protocol initially developed as a front end to
X.500 (DAP) servers - X.500 was complex, cumbersome and used the
OSI communications stack. LDAP has become the Internet directory
standard, widely adapted by vendors everywhere. It was first developed
at the University of Michigan and is an open standard under IETF change
control. It also supports SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
and SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

Entries in an LDAP directory are generally stored in a hierarchical
tree structure. Each entry in the hierarchy is a collection of attributes.
For example, an entry for a person might contain attributes such as
name, phone number, email address, etc. LDAP is extensible in that
the standard schema of the directory can easily be tailored to
suit one's needs.

* Directory Server Setup

1. swinstall LDAP Lite (J4257AA)

2. cd /var/opt/netscape/server4/setup


3. ./setup -k # (use this option to keep the install.inf file)

4. A name for the serverID was chosen at the time of setting up the
directory server. The setup program creates a directory in
/var/opt/netscape/server4/slapd-serverid.

5. Commands to start and stop the directory server daemon
cd /var/top/netscape/server4/slapd-serverid
./start-slapd
./stop-slapd

6. Commands to start and stop the administration server daemon
cd /var/opt/netscape/server4
./start-admin
./stop-admin

* Client System Setup

1. Download ljdk30_tar.tar from Netscape

2. mkdir /opt/ljdk; cd /opt/jdk

3. tar xvf /tmp/jdk30_tar.tar

4. Add the following paths to environment variable CLASSPATH.
This environment variable is used by the Java compiler and
interpreter to find the necessary archived library files.

export CLASSPATH=./:/opt/ljdk/packages/ldapjdk.jar:/opt/ljdk/packages/
ldapfilt.jar
