Solaris 6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8 and LDAP...
2007-12-25 10:50:00
Sorry for the delay with posting this summary.
I had two responses to this original question:
>Greetings Sun Managers,
>
>I've got a Solaris 7 box running SunDS 3.1 with a heap of users (6000+) and
>am using SunDS to authenticate these users, no problems there.
>
>I've got a couple of Solaris 6 boxes using the abovementioned Solaris 7 box
>as a NIS master which lets the same users authenticate using the NIS <->
>LDAP stuff that comes with SunDS on the first box, no problems there
either.
>
>I've just set up an Intel Solaris 8 box and am about to set up a SPARC
>Solaris 8 box and want to know how I can get it to look at the first box
>(Solaris 7 w/ SunDS LDAP server) for user authentication/information using
>LDAP but still use DNS for hosts and that sort of thing. I don't want to
>run an LDAP server on the Solaris 8 boxes (well, not yet anyhow) and don't
>want to have the LDAP stuff stored locally on those boxes.

>On the Solaris 8 box I I copied my nsswitch.ldap to nsswitch.conf and
>rebooted and got loads of errors about non-existant files and the like. I

do

Thanks to Casper Dik and Will Cox.
Casper suggested that the solutions lie with the supplied 'ldapclient'
command, partly correct.
Will sent me a .pdf from Sun which explains how to set up both your client
and server to do exactly what I asked. It's a fairly manual process with
lots of editing of your directory server config files which I don't want to
do until I've read through it several times and understand what I'm
potentially breaking :)
If anyone wants the PDF file let me know, if there's enough demand I'll put
it on the web somewhere and post a link to the list.
Thanks again to Casper and Will.
