The system as a LDAP-UX client
The LDAP-UX client is valuable with other services such as NFS because it has largely taken
over the role that NIS has historically played. It provides a way to centrally administer UID and
GID information that is vitally important to be consistent throughout the enterprise. A directory
schema RFC 2307 has been constructed for LDAP to provide this information for NFS and also
for AutoFS.
To verify potential problems with LDAP-UX some commands are useful.
# ldapcfinfo -t {passwd|group|pam}
INFO: CFI_CONFIG_SUCCESS:
"{passwd|group|pam}" service appears properly configured for LDAP-UX
operation.
# pwget (no options) enumerates all user’s passwds
# grget (no options) enumerates all groups
# listusers
# logins
# nsquery passwd ldap20 ldap
Using "ldap" for the passwd policy.
