|
|

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
.I ldap
|
1999-01-15 07:04:08 +08:00
|
|
|
clients. If the environment variable \fBLDAPNOINIT\fP is defined, all
|
|
|
|
|
defaulting is disabled.

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
defaults file.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
Additional configuration files can be specified using
|
|
|
|
|
the \fBLDAPCONF\fP and \fBLDAPRC\fP environment variables.
|
|
|
|
|
\fBLDAPCONF\fP may be set the path of a configuration file. This
|
|
|
|
|
patch can be absolute or relative to current working directory.
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBLDAPRC\fP, if defined, should be a basename of a file
|
|
|
|
|
in the current working directory or in the user's home directory.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
