Thanks everyone for the quick responses: JES is a free software now ... Here are some useful links http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/ http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4879/index.html http://www.thebergerbits.com/unix.shtml http://jnester.lunarpages.com/howtos/solaris/solarisLDAPAuth.html There is no free support for JES and very hard to get any proper info. -- Sun Directory server is free and well support by Sun support forum (free too) -- Beginning a few years ago Sun made the Directory server available free of charge for Sun systems running Solaris 8. The limit was 200,000 entries which was large enough for most applications. Then last fall I believe Sun made the Directory and Web/App servers also free and only charge for support. If you intend to use the Directory primarily as a naming service for Sun systems I think it would be easier to use the Sun Directory server because it is pretty nicely integrated with the OS. Good luck with your project, ________________________________ From: Beck, Joseph Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 11:18 AM To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: ldap naming service Based on a post from a while back, I see that the overwhelming majority of you recommend ldap for naming services/user mgt. when # of servers & users warrant it. We do not own JES license or use much sun s/w...I see openLDAP comes highly recommended but was wondering what support options are out there. We'll be sure to implement a replicated solution, but still want to cover myself. Also I see documentation out there (from bigadmin) covering this topic, but am also interested in articles, books, Best Practices. Appreciate any feedback in terms of recommendations, experiences, docs, links, etc. Joe Beck Ciber Inc. - a consultant to SEI One Freedom Valley Drive | Oaks, PA 19456 | p: 610.676.2258 | jbeck@seic.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Apr 4 08:30:32 2006
