I have configured Netscape Directory Server 4.12 to provide an LDAPS
service. I need to be able to start the directory unattended so
created the
NSROOT/alias/slapd-<hostname>-pin.txt
file. At first it just contained the password (without CR, then with
CR) and then I found a comment in Sun's Solaris LDAP Blueprint book
which lead me to put this:
Internal (Software) Token=<password>
in the file.
None of these approaches stopped the directory asking for the password
on startup. I have traced the process and it is reading the pin file:
...
8254: open("/opt/netscapeds/alias/slapd-sldn5093dap-pin.txt",
O_RDONLY) = 9
8254: fstat64(9, 0xEFFFE768) = 0
8254: ioctl(9, TCGETA, 0xEFFFE6F4) Err#25 ENOTTY
8254: read(9, " I n t e r n a l ( S o".., 8192) = 36
8254: read(9, 0x0025BC2C, 8192) = 0
8254: llseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 36
8254: close(9) = 0
...
8254: write(1, " E n t e r P I N f o".., 41) = 41
...
For now I am starting the directory as follows:
start-slapd < pin.txt > /dev/null
This seems to work, but I'd like to do it properly.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank Taylor
