The Solaris 9 OS includes NIS+ to LDAP migration tools to help migrate NIS+ environments to LDAP. Migration is a two-step process: • Data & Server Migration • Client migration • Data migration is made possible through the synchronization tools in the product that move data from NIS+ server to the LDAP server. • Client migration is more cumbersome of the two steps since the number of clients involved is large. The client migration thus can only be done in a phased manner. The migration tool allows the NIS+ clients to co-exist with the LDAP server and transparently communicate with the LDAP server. . The migrati on tool sits as gateway and talks NIS+ on the front-end and ypldapd at the backend. For more information on migration from NIS+ to LDAP refer to “NIS+ to LDAP” White paper.
