Understanding the NIS to LDAP Service (N2L) Architecture

Understanding the NIS to LDAP Service (N2L) Architecture

by Michael Haines and Baban Kenkre
March, 2006

This article discusses Network Information Service (NIS) to LDAP transition service (N2L service) support for NIS clients based on naming information stored in the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 software. This approach enables a complete transition from the NIS naming service to the LDAP naming service. It includes detailed installation, configuration, and operational information needed to create a supportable instance of the NIS/LDAP Transition Gateway product offering. While the NIS to LDAP transition product is designed to work with any RFC2307bis-compliant directory (LDAP) server, Sun only supports the N2L Service in conjunction with the Sun Java System Directory (LDAP) Server 5.1 and 5.2 software.
