Setting up an LDAP Directory for Synchronization

Before LDSU can access an LDAP directory for import or export, some steps may be required to setup the LDAP directory for LDSU access.

These steps are specific to the type of LDAP directory being accessed, and the details in implementing them will vary, but usually include the following:

The final step to setting up the LDAP directory for LDSU access is to determine all the LDAP RDN and attribute names and create the LDSU Layout File for the LDAP directory. Some examples exist in the "templates" subdirectory.

An LDAP test program (ldap_test) is supplied in the LDSU bin directory to help troubleshoot and test LDAP access and to determine LDAP RDN and attribute names. It is a read-only program that only does the LDAP open, bind and search functions. See the Running LDSU section under Running LDAP_TEST on how to use it. After a creating a directory entry using the LDAP directories' manual interface, run ldap_test to determine how the entry looks to an LDAP client (like LDSU).
