Administering the Access Appliance cluster's LDAP client
You can display the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) client configurations. LDAP clients use the LDAPv3 protocol to communicate with the server.
To display the LDAP client configuration
- To display the LDAP client configuration, enter the following:
Network> ldap show [users|groups|netgroups]
users
Displays the LDAP users that are available in the Name Service Switch (NSS) database.
groups
Displays the LDAP groups that are available in the NSS database.
netgroups
Displays the LDAP netgroups that are available in the NSS database.
If you do not include one of the optional variables, the command displays all the configured settings for the LDAP client.
To enable the LDAP client configuration
- To enable the LDAP client configuration, enter the following:
Network> ldap enable
LDAP clients use the LDAPv3 protocol for communicating with the server. Enabling the LDAP client configures the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) files to use LDAP. PAM is the standard authentication framework for Linux.
To disable the LDAP client configuration
- To disable the LDAP client configuration, enter the following:
Network> ldap disable
LDAP clients use the LDAPv3 protocol for communicating with the server. This command configures the PAM configuration files so that they do not use LDAP.
