Before you use this command, you must have a currently selected zone stored in memory. The following commands enable you to view and manage NIS maps:

  • delete_nis_map deletes the selected NIS map from Active Directory and from memory.
  • list_nis_maps lists to stdout all NIS maps in the currently selected zone.
  • new_nis_map creates a new NIS map and stores it in memory.
  • save_nis_map saves the selected NIS map with its current entries to Active Directory.
  • select_nis_map retrieves a NIS map from Active Directory and stores it in memory.

After you have a NIS map stored in memory, you can use the other commands to work with that map’s entries.
