Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Solaris Client

[George Holbert]

Sun's solution to getting a server all set up for Solaris naming service 
is a script called "idsconfig".  This script can be found in 
/usr/lib/ldap on Solaris 9 and up.  Note that idsconfig is a part of 
Solaris, not a part of Sun DS (or any other DS).

idsconfig will do schema updates that include DUAConfigProfile and some 
RFC2307bis items.  I'd think it would work with Fedora DS just as it 
does with Sun DS.

idsconfig is not my favorite script ever, but it can get the job done.  
You may have to tweak it slightly for your situation.  Also, note that 
the LDIF it uses to change the password scheme to CRYPT is incorrect.
The correct LDIF is:
dn: cn=Password Policy,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: passwordStorageScheme
passwordStorageScheme: CRYPT
