Configure a UNIX Directory Service using LDAP

LDAP must adhere to the IDMU, RFC2307, or RFC2307bis schemas. Some examples include AD LDAP with IDMU, iPlanet, and OpenLDAP. The LDAP server must be configured properly to provide UIDs for each user. For example, on IDMU, the administrator must go into the properties of each user and add a UID to the UNIX Attributes tab.

To troubleshoot issues with configuring UDS using LDAP, ensure that:

  • The LDAP configuration adheres to one of the supported schemas.
  • All the containers that are specified in the ldap.conf file are for valid and existing containers.
  • Each LDAP user is configured with a unique UID.

You can also use the -ldap option of the svc_nas_tools service command to troubleshoot LDAP issues. This command can display advanced diagnostics for the connection to the LDAP server and can run a username resolution to ensure that the LDAP settings are correct.
