Unsupported Features
The following features were removed at HP DCE 1.9:

Integrated Login
Given below are list of the integrated login features supported on HP-UX 11i v2.
Features
• The environment variable, ILOGIND_CACHE_LIMIT, is used to control the cache size for
passwd/group information. The cache size depicts the number of entries in the cache. If
this is not specified by the user the default number of 256 is used.
• The NSSDCE_CACHE_TSTALE environment variable specifies the life of the pwd\grp cache
entries. The default lifetime for each entry is 60 seconds.
• Support of large number of users belonging to one group.
The Ilogin product, previously, did support a large number of users belonging to the same
group. This often ended up in unexpected results. This limitation has been rectified and a
fix included for the same.
