I was reading in the book "Solaris 10 System Administration Essential" and it says on pg 365 that the openldap server needs to be patched so that the ldapclient init utility will configure properly. Most stuff I have read say I need to add these two schemas, solaris and DUAConfigProfile.
Anyway I'm having issues getting the Solaris servers to work right with the openldap server I installed on a RHEL 5.5 box. The servers can see the data when I do a search and a Id but I can't login with the ldap accouts.
Thanks for reading my email.

Hello, I have been reading up on OpenLDAP. I have installed it on RHEL 5.5 but I have seen documention saying that openldap needs to be patched to work with Solaris. Can someone tell me if this still the case and if so where to get the patch. If not any info you can provide wold be great.
Your question is so vague as to be unanswerable. OpenLDAP compiles and runs just fine on Solaris. If you are asking something other than that, than you need to provide more details than vague "I read something somewhere" comments.

Ok, so you're talking about something different than OpenLDAP itself. You're talking about the bizarre way that Solaris configures its ldapclient to depend on non-RFC bits that exist only in Sun's directory server. Unfortuanely, I have no idea what patch they are referring to, but maybe someone else does.

This would not be related to running OpenLDAP on Solaris, but to catering to the brokenness of Solaris' ldapclient, regardless of whether the OpenLDAP server runs on Linux or any other platform.
I am not sure about Solaris 10, but for Solaris 9, if you wanted to use this method of configuring ldapclient, you need your LDAP server to return all operational attributes when the client doesn't request them (which, according to RFCs, it should do).
The 'allop' overlay in contrib should do this for you.

ldapclient has some issues, good luck.

Thanks for replying.
I don't know anything about overlays. I have been mostly trying to get the ldapcient command to work. I will look into the overlay thing. thanks
