Setup allows you to define a time interval after which the
current profile(s) is (are) being automatically refreshed. The start
time for this periodic refresh is defined by the time the setup
program was run and the value defined for ProfileTTL. Therefore,
it does not allow you to define a specific time of day when the
profile(s) should be downloaded (refreshed).

 | NOTE: Starting with the B.03.00 release, if multiple domains
are configured, there will be a profile for each domain rather than
just one profile for the entire system. |

For more detailed information, refer to the ldapclientd(1m)
man page.
If you would like to manually control when you want to download
the profile, you can use the following steps:
When creating your
profile entry using setup, set the ProfileTTL value to 0.
Using the command get_profile_entry -s nss, write a shell script that downloads the profile. Below
is an example that downloads the profile from the directory. Modify
this example for your environment. It also compares the new and
old profiles and emails a status message:
#!/bin/ksh
cp /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.sav
/opt/ldapux/config/get_profile_entry -s nss 2>&1 /tmp/profile.upd$$
diff /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.sav\
>> /tmp/profile.upd$$
if [ -s /tmp/profile.upd$$ ]; then
cat /tmp/profile.upd$$ | mailx -s "Profile cache refreshed." root@sys01
else
echo "No changes." | mailx -s "Profile cache refreshed." root@sys01
fi
rm -f /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.sav
rm -f /tmp/profile.upd$$ |
Create a crontab(1)
file (or edit your existing crontab file) and specify how frequently
you want the profile to be downloaded. For example, assuming the
script above is in the file /ldapux/download_ldap_profile, the following
crontab specification specifies that /ldapux/download_ldap_profile
be executed nightly at midnight:
0 0 * * * /ldapux/download_ldap_profile |
Log in as root and schedule the
job with the crontab(1) command. For example,
assuming the crontab entry above is in the file crontab.profile, the
following schedules the profile downloading:
