Summary of Installing and Configuring

The following summarizes the steps you take when installing and configuring an LDAP-UX Client Services environment.

First, see “Plan Your Installation”.
Next, install LDAP-UX Client Services on each client system. See “Install LDAP-UX Client Services on a Client”.
Install and configure the Active Directory, if not already done. See “Configure Active Directory for HP-UX Integration”.
Migrate your supported name service data to the directory. See “Import Name Service Data into Your Directory”.
Run the setup program to configure LDAP-UX Client Services on a client system. Setup does the following for you:
- Extends your Active Directory schema with the configuration profile schema, if not already done.
- Creates a start-up file on the client. This enables each client to download the configuration profile.
- Creates a configuration profile of directory access information in the directory, to be shared by a group of (or possibly all) clients.
  If the ADS multiple domains feature has been selected, Setup will also create the remote domains profiles and/or Global Catalog server profile.
- Downloads the configuration profile from the directory to the client.
Modify the files /etc/pam.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf on the client to specify Kerberos authentication and LDAP name service, respectively.
Optionally modify the disable_uid_range flag in the /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf file to disable user login uids to the local system from specific users on the LDAP server. See “Configure the Disable Login Flag”.
Verify each client is working properly. See “Verify the LDAP-UX Client Services”.
See also “Configure Subsequent Client Systems” for some shortcuts.
