LDAP-UX Client Services 4.0 with Windows Server 2003 R2 Schema Support Release Notes

Overview
LDAP-UX Client Services simplifies HP-UX system administration by consolidating account and
configuration information into Windows Server 2000/2003 Active Directory Services (ADS). To use an
Active Directory Server as a data repository for HP-UX users or other name services, the Active Directory
schema needs to be extended to include the POSIX schema defined in RFC 2307. Server for NIS, a tool
available with the Services for UNIX (SFU) add-on package, extends the Active Directory Schema to allow
integration of POSIX attributes. The SFU schema does not fully comply with the IETF RFC 2307 standard.
For example, the object classes in the SFU schema are prefixed with msSFUxxx. In 2006, Microsoft released
a new version of Windows Server called “Windows Server 2003 R2”. In this release, Microsoft introduces
a new RFC2307 schema which is compliant with the IETF RFC2307 standard.
The default DUA profile that is created by the LDAP-UX setup program does not include the appropriate
attribute mappings and search descriptors to support the ADS 2003 R2’s RFC2307 schema. In order to
support the new Windows Server 2003 R2’s RFC2307 schema with the LDAP-UX Client Services 4.0, users
must re-configure the LDAP-UX DUA profile.
This document describes the workarounds and procedures on how to manually modify the default template
file of the LDAP-UX DUA profile when you use LDAP-UX Client Services 4.0 with Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 R2 RFC2307 schema.
