LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Administrator's Guide: HP-UX 11i v1 and v2 > Chapter 5 LDAP Printer Configurator SupportPrinter Schema and Attributes |
|
The Windows 2000, 2003 or 2003 R2 Active Directory Server (ADS) contains the built-in printer schema. The printer schema is used to create the printer objects that are relevant to the printer configurator services. The attributes of this schema are not the same ones supported by the LDAP-UX printer configurator. This section describes how to use the Windows ADS built-in schema to manage the networked printers. With the printer schema in the Windows Active Directory Server, you are able to create printer objects for the LP printer configuration. The minimum information for a printer object entry is the local printer name, remote host name, and the remote printer name. The remote host name is the system or device that the remote printer is connected to. The remote host name must be the fully qualified name. LDAP-UX supports the following two default printer attributes:
The printer-name and printer-uri attributes are not defined in the Windows Active Directory Server schema. You must use one of the following two methods to define the alternate attributes and map them to default printer attributes respectively. Defining Alternate Printer AttributesYou can define alternate printer attributes which can be remapped to printer-name and printer-uri, and use the ldapentry or ldapmodify tool to add the alternate printer attributes to your directory server. For example, you can define two alternate printer attributes, printerbyname and printer-resource, and map these attributes to printer-name and printer-uri respectively as shown in Table 5–1. Table 5-1 Attribute Mappings
The printerbyname attribute provides local printer name information and the printer-resource attribute specifies the remote host name and remote printer name. The following shows examples of the printerbyname and printer-resource attribute values: printerbyname: laser2 printer-resource: lpd://hostA.hp.com/lj2004 Using the Existing Printer AttributesYou can use the existing printer attributes provided by Windows ADS schema to define alternate printer attributes which can be remapped to printer-name and printer-uri respectively. For example, the existing printer attributes, printerbinname and printer-color, are defined and mapped to printer-name and printer-uri respectively as shown in Table 5–2. Table 5-2 Attribute Mappings
The printerbinname attribute provides local printer name information and the printer-color attribute specifies the remote host name and remote printer name. The following shows examples of the printerbinname and printer-color attribute values: printerbinname : laser5 printer-color: lpd://hostA.hp.com/lj2006 Printer Attribute MappingsTo enable the LDAP printer configurator support, you must run the setup program to perform the attribute mappings and search filter changes. The tasks include the following::
