Setting up LDAP for OpenDeploy

nipper

Solaris 2.8

OD 6.0.1 (also have TS 6.5)

TS uses LDAP for password verification with the appropriate entries in iw.cfg but we
do not use LDAP on that server normally (i.e. telnet access)

OpenDeploy is installed and it appears that OD needs to use the LDAP client (?).

So I need to find out what must be installed for OD to work, can anyone point me
in the right direction ?

I was told to change /etc/nnswitch.conf with this entry:
passwd: files ldap

But now what ? No LDAP processes appear to be running (if they should)

Tips/Pointers/RTFMs appreciated

CSF is the the link between OD and LDAP (or whatever user directory you have.)

CSF is only required if using the OD Admin UI or web services. (In OD 6.0.2, it's also needed when issuing 'iwodcmd start' if you don't explicitly disable the check in OD.)

I think you should be able to configure CSF for LDAP as described in the "ContentServices Foundation
Installation and Developer’sGuide". Version 1.1 covers LDAP for Unix on p. 17. Seems all you need is to provide connection info to the LDAP server.

nnswitch.conf is a Solaris thing (based on a google search I just did). I'm guessing configuring it for LDAP directs all authentication requests on the Solaris host to an LDAP server. So, if CSF were configured for default (local) authentication, Solaris would take care of the LDAP request.
