high-availability LDAP servers.

Run the configuration script on the remote LDAP server

The IBRIX gen_ldap-lwtools.sh script performs the configuration based on the copy of the
chosen schema template (UserConf.conf in the examples). Run the following command to
validate your changes:

sh /opt/likewise/bin/gen_ldap-lwtools.sh UserConf.conf –v

If the configuration looks okay, run the command with added security by removing all temporary
files:

sh /opt/likewise/bin/gen_ldap-lwtools.sh UserConf.conf -rm

If you need to troubleshoot the configuration, run the command as follows:

sh /opt/likewise/bin/gen_ldap-lwtools.sh UserConf.conf

Configure LDAP authentication on the cluster nodes

You can configure LDAP authentication from the GUI, as described in

“Configuring authentication

from the GUI” (page 60)

(recommended), or by using the ibrix_ldapconfig command (see

“Configuring LDAP” (page 69)

.

Configuring authentication from the GUI

Use the Authentication Wizard to perform the initial configuration or to modify it at a later time.
Select Cluster Configuration > File Sharing Authentication from the Navigator to open the File
Sharing Authentication Settings panel. This panel shows the current authentication configuration
on each server.
