Populating the Directory Server Using ldapaddent
Note - Before populating the directory server with data, you must configure the server to
store passwords in UNIX Crypt format if you are using pam_unix. If you are
using pam_ldap, you can store passwords in any format. For more information about
setting the password in UNIX crypt format, see the Sun Java System Directory
Server documents.
ldapaddent reads from the standard input (that being an /etc/filename like passwd) and places
this data to the container associated with the service. Client configuration determines how
the data will be written by default.
Note - ldapaddent(1M) can only run on an LDAP client. Chapter 12, Setting Up LDAP Clients (Tasks) describes how to configure
a client for the LDAP naming service.
