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.
