passwords may not only be stored in any syntax but also means that
passwords may remain hidden from view (preventing a decryption attack
on the hashed passwords). Because passwords may be stored in any
syntax, HP-UX will be able to share passwords with other LDAP-enabled
applications.
With LDAP-UX Client Services B.03.20 or later versions, the client
daemon, ldapclientd, becomes the center of the product. It supports
all NSS backend services for LDAP and data enumeration. It also
supports PAM_LDAP for authentication and password change.
With LDAP-UX Client Services, HP-UX commands and subsystems can
transparently access name service information from the LDAP directory
through ldapclientd. The following table shows some examples of
commands and subsystems that use PAM and NSS:
