Look no further, I have it documented in my HOWTOs based on OpenLDAP:
http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt

I had used SUN DS5.1 previously and later switched to OpenLDAP, but the
SUN profile schema remained mandatory for "ldaplist" and "id" command to
work, for DS5.1 one needs to complete the idsconfig setup, and the steps
to create vlvindex(es).

I also encouraged all to search SUN BigAdmin portal using keyword like
"ldap", "openldap", "proxyagent", "ldapclient", u would find many info
there.

 From my and Jason Heiss's (http://ofb.net/~jheiss/krbldap/) experience,
IT IS NOT A MUST TO run "ldapclient" command to generate the profile
ldif, if u know what u ultimately want just create the profile ldif and
add it. I may be wrong in future when SUN changes its profile schema
creation method.

Use Solaris9 or later whenever possible, Solaris8 is weak or has
limitations or bugs in LDAP client libraries support unless u have
ldapv2 Patch 108993-38 installed.
