Importing RFC 2307 NIS map objects from an existing NIS server

Apart from local files, you can also import RFC 2307 NIS map objects from an existing NIS server.

To import RFC 2307 NIS map objects from an existing NIS server

  1. In the Source Selection dialog of the NIS Map Import Wizard, select the NIS Server option and click Next.

  2. Enter the NIS Domain and click Connect.

    The NIS server loads and lists the available NIS maps in the window.

  3. Select All or specific NIS maps to import and click Next.

  4. In the Final Review screen, verify that you have selected the correct NIS map information and the correct number of entries.

    You also have the option to export the maps to LDIF.

  5. Click Next.

    A verification prompt displays.

  6. Click OK to confirm.

    The Results screen lists the imported maps and notifies you if there were any errors.

  7. Click Finish.

    To view the NIS map object, enable View > Advanced Features in Active Directory Users and Computers.

Using NIS map command line administration utility

The nisedit command line utility allows you to manage NIS maps stored in Active Directory as RFC 2307 objects. nisedit is located at /opt/quest/bin/nisedit and has been designed to be script- and automation-friendly.

To run the nisedit utility, specify one or more general options and then specify a specific sub-command which may have further options and arguments. The following table contains a complete list of supported nisedit commands and a brief description of each.

Table 16: nisedit commands
Command Description

add

Add RFC 2307 NIS maps and/or entries to Active Directory.

delete

Delete RFC 2307 NIS map or entries out of Active Directory.

dump

Output RFC 2307 NIS maps and entries from Active Directory.

modify

Modify an RFC 2307 NIS map or entries in Active Directory.

list

List all RFC 2307 NIS map names from Active Directory.

sync

Synchronize changes to RFC 2307 NIS maps in Active Directory.

passwd, group, and netid maps

The group, passwd, and netid maps are provided directly from the vasd cache that is populated straight from Active Directory user and group objects, and cannot be edited with nisedit.

Specific vs generic maps

Due to the RFC 2307 specifications, some maps are stored as specific objects, while all other maps are stored as generic objects. nisedit supports the six standard NIS maps. For more information, see RFC classes and attributes.

These maps generate their sub-maps from the single information source. For example, the services objects in Active Directory provide information used by vasyp to provide the services.byname and services.byservicename maps.
