ldap_cachemgr(1M)	System Administration Commands	     ldap_cachemgr(1M)

NAME
       ldap_cachemgr  -	 LDAP  daemon  to manage client configuration for LDAP
       based Network Information Service lookups

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr [-l log-file] [-g]

DESCRIPTION
       The ldap_cachemgr daemon is a process that provides an up-to-date  con‐
       figuration  cache for LDAP naming services. It is started during multi-
       user boot.

       The ldap_cachemgr utility provides caching for all parameters as speci‐
       fied  and  used	by  the LDAP naming service clients. The ldap_cachemgr
       utility uses the cache files which are originally created by  executing
       the  ldapclient(1M)  utility, as cold start files. Updates to the cache
       files take place dynamically if profiles	 are  used  to	configure  the
       client. See the init option to ldapclient(1M).

       The  ldap_cachemgr utility helps improve the performance of the clients
       that are using LDAP as the Naming service repository. In order for  the
       LDAP  naming  services  to  function properly, the ldap_cachemgr daemon
       must be running. ldap_cachemgr also improves system security by	making
       the configuration files readable by superuser only.

       The cache maintained by this daemon is shared by all the processes that
       access LDAP Naming information. All processes access this cache through
       a  door	call. On startup, ldap_cachemgr initializes the cache from the
       cache files. See	 ldapclient(1M).  Thus,	 the  cache  survives  machine
       reboots.

       The  ldap_cachemgr  daemon also acts as its own administration tool. If
       an instance of ldap_cachemgr is already running,	 commands  are	passed
       transparently to the running version.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -g

	   Print current configuration and statistics to standard output. This
	   is the only option executable without superuser privileges.

       -l log-file

	   Cause ldap_cachemgr to use  a  log  file  other  than  the  default
	   /var/ldap/cachemgr.log.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Stopping and Restarting the ldap_cachemgr Daemon

       The   following	 example   shows  how  to  stop	 and  to  restart  the
       ldap_cachemgr daemon.

	 example# svcadm disable network/ldap/client
	 example# svcadm enable network/ldap/client

       Example 2 Forcing ldap_cachemgr to Reread Configuration Files

       The following example shows how to force ldap_cachemgr  to  reread  the
       /var/ldap/ldap_client_file and /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred files

	 example# pkill -HUP ldap_cachemgr

FILES
       /var/ldap/cachemgr.log

	   Default log file.

       /var/ldap/ldap_client_file
       /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred

	   Files  containing the LDAP configuration of the client. These files
	   are not to be modified manually. Their content is not guaranteed to
	   be human readable. Use ldapclient(1M) to update these files.

NOTES
       The ldap_cachemgr service is managed by the service  management	facil‐
       ity, smf(5), under the service identifier:

	 svc:/network/ldap/client

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	The  service's
       status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
