proxy.ldif.template File

Purpose

Defines the ACL that will be set for the proxy identity when the mksecldap command is invoked with the -x and -X command options.

Description

The proxy.ldif.template file contains LDAP data interchange formatted (LDIF) entries used by mksecldap when creating a proxy identity during server setup. By default, the file contains entries to create the proxy identity and password and set the default ACL to propagate down from the base DN (distinguished name).

Entries in the file may be modified or added by the system administrator to customize the LDAP server setup performed by the mksecldap command. Several case sensitive key words exist in the file that are dynamically replaced with the values that mksecldap is invoked with as described in the following table.

Keyword Substitution
{baseDN} Replaced with base distinguished name specified by the -d option of the mksecldap command.
{proxyDN} Replaced with proxy user distinguished name specified by the -x option of mksecldap.
{proxyUser} Replaced with proxy user name (proxyDN stripped of suffix and prefix).
{proxyPWD} Replaced with proxy user password specified by the -X option of mksecldap.
