I am currently running solaris 9 on my Main server (that does DNS as well) and I would like to switch over to LDAP instead of NIS. I have another server with better hardware setup to run LDAP Alone and I installed Sun Directory server console and created my own SSL certificate. ANy good guide on what else I need to convert to LDAP on client and server or what I do next.
man ldapclient
man pam.conf
There's probably a document about this, but I've sifted through quite a lot to get it to work. I knew LDAP before this, just haven't done it on Solaris before...
One thing to note that I haven't seen in _ANY_ document so far is setting up propper ACI's (access control in LDAP)!
This can be quite daunting if you don't know LDAP beforehand.
Oh, and you'll need the Migration Tools from padl.com (<a href="http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html" target="_blank">http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html</a>). They can 'convert' your NIS/NIS+ information to LDAP information...
I had to modify it slightly (a user account needs the shadowAccount objectClass for example). But it will get you started.
