Configuration information, used by the LDAP caching daemon and the provided tools, use a the
configuration file, /etc/ldapcd.conf. This file provides information on how to connect to the
LDAP directory server, the attribute mappings for the password and group entries, and caching
parameters. This file must contain a clear text password that allows the utilities to connect to the
directory server, and should always be read-only by root. The configuration file is shown in
Example 2. HP recommends that you use the Administration utility to modify the /etc/
ldapcd.conf file. To validate the configuration file, use the /usr/internet/ldap_tools/
ldap_check utility.
