UNIX User Authentication - /etc/passwd, NIS
Migration
HP UNIX user authentication is required in addition to Samba
(Windows) user authentication for HP CIFS Server logon.You can
consolidate Samba and UNIX users into a single LDAP directory server
database. However, the /etc/passwd file or NIS database files can
continue to be used for UNIX users if desired.
You can use migration scripts provided by HP to migrate the
/etc/passwd file and NIS database files to the LDAP directory server.
For more information on the migration scripts, see “Migrating Your data
to the Netscape Directory” on page 130 and “Upgrading LDAP from HP
CIFS Server A.01.* to A.02.*” on page 154.
