!!! Overview
There is no "standard" [{$pagename}] for [*NIX] that we have found. Many of the Linux distributions utilize the [OpenLDAP] client libraries for the LDAP client on their platforms, how the [{$pagename}] is performed is scattered by not only distribution but by versions within the distributions.
We are essentially issuing you a warning. Do you own diligence for you distribution and version you are using.
There is an effort, put forth by SUN and HP to use the [DUA Config Profile] which is certainly a step in the right direction, but alas, it is not at least yet, wide spread across the [Linux] distributions.
The [openLDAP] [LDAP Client|DUA] is most prvelent on the Linux and UNIX distributions.
Our interest in [{$pagename}] is for the setup of [LDAP for Linux and Unix Clients].
!! Some [*NIX] [Configurations]
Some of the OS vendors have configuration utilities which may help in the [{$pagename}] setup.
When we last looked we knew of these:
* SuSE - Yast
* RedHat - authconfig
* Ubuntu - auth-client-config
We usually find that for the finer details you will still need to edit some of the config files manually.
!! [openLDAP] Details
As most use the [openLDAP] Client ([DUA]) [configuration], the details of the [configuration] are kept at: [openLDAP Client Configuration|http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=ldap.conf|target='_blank'] [1]
Typically there is a /etc/ldap.conf or a file under /etc/pam.d/ that is utilized to configure the [LDAP] Client.
