This manual provides configuration and administration information for DNS, NIS, and LDAP services on Solaris.
The Sun Microsystems Reference Manual explains how to set up and manage the DNS, NIS, and LDAP services that are part of the Solaris operating system. It includes detailed descriptions of service concepts, required configuration files, and the tools used for administration.
The document is organized into sections covering each service, the nsswitch.conf file format, migration from BIND 8 to BIND 9, LDAP security (TLS), and troubleshooting guides. Indexes and cross‑references make it easy to locate specific procedures such as adding NIS domains or configuring LDAP directories.
