dress. Choose the appropriate base DN from the search results given by YaST. If TLS
or SSL protected communication with the server is required, select LDAP TLS/SSL. If
the LDAP server still uses LDAPv2, explicitly enable the use of this protocol version
by selecting LDAP Version 2. Select Start Automounter to mount remote directories
on your client, such as a remotely managed home directory. Click Finish to apply your
settings. LDAP client configuration is discussed in further detail in Section 37.6,
"Configuring an LDAP Client with YaST" (page 698).
Configuring the Host as a NIS Client
To implement user administration by NIS, configure a NIS client in the next step. This
section only describes the configuration of the client side. Configuration of a NIS
server with YaST is described in Chapter 36, Using NIS (page 673).
In the NIS client dialog, first select whether the host has a static IP address or gets one
with DHCP. If you select DHCP, you cannot specify a NIS domain or NIS server ad-
dress, because these are provided by the DHCP server. Information about DHCP is
available in Chapter 35, DHCP (page 655). If a static IP address is used, specify the NIS
domain and the NIS server manually.
To search for NIS servers broadcasting in the network, check the relevant option. You
can also specify several NIS domains and set a default domain. For each domain, select
Edit to specify several server addresses or enable the broadcast function on a per-domain
basis.
In the expert settings, use Answer Remote Hosts to allow other network hosts to query
which server your client is using. If you activate Broken Server, responses from servers
on unprivileged ports are also accepted. For more information, refer to the man page
of ypbind.
Configuring the Host as a Windows Domain Member
To implement user administration using a Samba or Windows server, configure a
Samba client in the next step. This section only describes the configuration of the client
side. Samba configuration is described in further detail in Chapter 38, Samba (page 709).
In the Windows Domain Membership dialog, enter the NT or Active Directory domain
or Samba workgroup to join or use Browse to select from a list of available domains.
Select Create Home Directory on Login if you want to create home directories for any
