ldapclient & nscd - offline caching
869103Jun 15 2011 — edited Jun 15 2011Hi,
I'm using Solaris 10 native ldapclient to connect to a Fedora DS server. Everything is working with it. I also turned on nscd to cache ldap queries. It works too. Is it possible to use nscd to provide Naming Switch service data when the ldap server is offline? This does not work for me. Even though I see through the logs that the entry has been cached by nscd, when I try to access the data, solaris 10 tries to look it up via ldap server instead of queuing the ncsd.
How is nss offline caching implemented in Solaris 10? I want to make sure the information is available in case the ldap server goes down, etc.
Btw, nscd works for Linux clients for caching offline data.
Thanks,
Jimmy
