Importing Name Service Data into Your Directory

If you have already imported data into your Active directory with the SFU 2.0 Server for NIS migration tool, LDAP-UX Client Services can use that data and you can skip to “Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services”.

If you are using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts take your NIS maps and generate LDIF files. These scripts can then import the LDIF files into your directory, creating new entries in the directory.

If you are not using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts can take your user, group, and other data from files, generate LDIF, and import the LDIF into your directory to work with SFU version 2.0.

If you integrate the name service data into your directory, the migration scripts may be helpful depending on where you put the data in your directory. You could use them just to generate LDIF, edit the LDIF, then import the LDIF into your directory. For example, you could manually add the msSFUAccount attributes to your existing entries under CN=Users and add their HP-UX information there.

	CAUTION: LDAP-UX Client Services provides default attribute and search descriptor settings to work with Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU 3.0) when working with the Windows 2000 Acitve Directory. If you use SFU 2.0, you can manually re-link the attribute configuration file to SFU 2.0 before running migration. Use this command to switch to SFU 2.0: ln -fs /etc/opt/ldapux/defualt_profile_attr_ads_sfu2.ldif\ /etc/opt/ldapux/default_profile_attr_ads.ldif LDAP_UX Client Services will also use SFU 2.0 in the absence of the softlink /etc/opt/ldapux/default_profile_attr_ads.ldif. You can also run the setup program to select and set the attribute map to be used with your directory server.
