Creating a New Proxy User

If you need to create a new proxy user and change your client systems to use the new proxy user, use the following steps:

Add the new proxy user to your directory with appropriate access controls. See the step "Create a proxy user" on page 23 for details.
Configure each client to use the new proxy user by running /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config. See below for examples.
Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -p to display the proxy user you just configured and confirm that it is correct.
Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -v to verify the proxy user is working.

Example

For example, the following command configures the local client to use a proxy user DN of CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com with a password of abcd1234:

cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -i
CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com
abcd1234

The following command displays the current proxy user:

./ldap_proxy_config -p
PROXY DN: CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com

The following command checks to see if the proxy user can bind to the directory:

./ldap_proxy_config -v
