solaris 10 as client to openldap

[Isaac Hailperin <hailperin@zib.de>]

Hi,

I am trying to set up an solaris 10 ldap client to work with an openldap 
server.
The server serves the following profile:
dn: cn=solarisbox,ou=profile,dc=acme,dc=de
bindTimeLimit: 10
credentialLevel: anonymous
cn: solarisbox
profileTTL: 43200
searchTimeLimit: 30
defaultSearchScope: sub
followReferrals: TRUE
authenticationMethod: simple
defaultSearchBase: dc=acme,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: DUAConfigProfile
defaultServerList: 192.168.0.5

On the solaris box, I issue:
ldapclient -v init -a profileName=solarisbox   192.168.0.5
Parsing profileName=solarisbox
Arguments parsed:
        profileName: solarisbox
        defaultServerList: 192.168.0.5
Handling init option

I am not very familiar with solaris, so I just drop a few other things 
that I found that seemed related:

I can confirm that /var/ldap/ldap_client_file does not exist.

I had a look at another solaris 10 machine (which I did not set up).
The file /var/ldap/ldap_client_file exists, but has no entry
'NS_LDAP_BINDDN'.
Also, I can't find some sort of bindDN option to ldapclient, nor can I 
find an attribute of that kind for the profile.

Any hints on how to get this working?
