Well, I couldn't get it to work.
So I decided to install Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 instead of using
OpenLDAP

I talked to the SUN support that we pay big bucks for, and it has been a
week and still my problem is not resolved. I need an expert, and I know
that there are many out there.

I would like to run LDAP the same way NIS+ runs.

Users are authenticated on their workstations, home directories are mounted,
and automounts are run based on user.

I have a procedure from Sun. I am able to run the ldapclient command:

----
ldapclient init -a profileName=FirstProfile -a
domainName=atac.ebay.sun.com -a
proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=atac,dc=ebay,d c=sun,dc=com -a
proxyPassword=secret123 doc.atac.ebay.sun.com:389
----

**NOTE** I do replace the domain information with my network information

I get a success.

But if I run the ldaplist command I get the following error:

# ldaplist -v
+++ database=NULL
+++ filter=objectclass=*
+++ template for merging SSD filter=%s
ldaplist: Object not found (Session error no available conn.
)

My server is in DNS, and I am using the FQDN, the server is Solaris 9
The workstation is also on Solaris 9

I am stumped.. any ideas out there?
