Driver Settings

The following table lists the driver settings and their default values in the sample configuration:

Parameter	Sample Configuration Value
nistype	files, nis, or nisplus
map-directory	/var/yp/domain_name
merge-password	No
map-files-directory	/etc/
hash-mode	Crypt

nistype

Specifies the database type for NIS. Its valid values are files, nis, nisplus.

map-directory

Specifies the directory for NIS map files. It is valid only for NIS(YP).

merge-password

Specifies whether the shadow and password files are merged on the system. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No. This parameter is valid only for Files and NIS(YP).

While importing a driver, you are prompted with a Password and shadow information merged message. Specify the correct value as per the following table:

Files	Value	Remarks
User information is available only in /etc/passwd file	Yes	Absence of the /etc/shadow file is also sufficient to indicate that Password and shadow information merged option is Yes.For example, on AIX, the password is not stored in /etc/passwd file. But, because there is no /etc/shadow file, the correct value is Yes.
User information is split between the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file	No

NIS (YP)	Value	Remarks
User information is available only in one passwd map	Yes	This value is not dependent on /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. Maps are considered only if NIS (YP) is used as the database.
User information is split between passwd and shadow maps.	No

重要:  This information is not relevant if NIS+ is used as the database.

The following table specifies the database and the values for merge-password:

Database	Values
NIS(YP)	False: If password and shadow maps are present True: If there is only a password map
Files	False: If password and shadow files are present True: If there is only a password file

map-files-directory

Specifies the directory where the files corresponding to NIS maps are to be found.

hash-mode

Specifies the hashing algorithm used on the UNIX server (the machine that hosts the NIS driver) to hash passwords.

Subscriber Settings

The following table lists the Subscriber settings and their default values in the sample configuration:

Parameter	Sample Configuration Value
create-homedirectory	No
remove-homedirectory	No
allow-duplicate	No
userid-generate	No
default-groupid	500
min-userid	500
max-userid	60000
groupid-generate	No
min-groupid	500
max-groupid	60000

create-homedirectory

Indicates whether to create the home directory when a user is added. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No.

remove-homedirectory

Indicates whether to remove the home directory upon user deletion. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No.

allow-duplicate

This option is not supported for AIX.

重要:  Do not change the default value for NIS(YP).

userid-generate

Indicates whether a uidNumber is to be generated for a user. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No.

default-groupid

Indicates the default group to which the user belongs.

min-userid

Specifies the minimum value for the UID generated for the user. The default value is 500.

max-userid

groupid-generate

Indicates whether a gidNumber is to be generated for a group. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No.

min-groupid

Specifies the minimum value for the GID generated for the group. The default value is 500.

max-groupid

Publisher Settings

The following table lists the Publisher settings and their default values in the sample configuration:

Parameter	Value
publisher-disable	No
polling-interval
pub-heartbeat-interval	2

publisher-disable

Specifies whether the Publisher is to be enabled or disabled. Values can be either Yes or No. The default is No.

注:  The publisher-disable option should not be set to Yes if the ID Generation is enabled.

polling-interval

Specifies the time (in seconds) as the polling interval before checking for new source files to process.

pub-heartbeat-interval

Specifies the time (in minutes) after which the driver sends a status document. The default is 0.
