Configuring the Virtual I/O Server as an LDAP client

Virtual I/O Server Version 1.4 can be configured as an LDAP client and then you can manage Virtual I/O Server from an LDAP server.

1. Change Virtual I/O Server users to LDAP users by running the following command:

   chuser -ldap -attr Attributes=Value username

   where username is the name of the user you want to change to an LDAP user.
2. Set up the LDAP client by running the following command:

   mkldap –host ldapserv1 –bind cn=admin –passwd adminpwd

   Where:
   • ldapserv1 is the LDAP server or list of LDAP servers to which you want the Virtual I/O Server to be an LDAP client
   • cn=admin is the administrator DN of ldapserv1
   • adminpwd is the password for cn=admin
   Configuring the LDAP client automatically starts communication between the LDAP server and the LDAP client (the Virtual I/O Server). To stop communication, use the stopnetsvc command.
