10.2 New and changed information in this edition
This edition documents the new features introduced with LDAP-UX Client Services version
B.05.00, including the following (features pertaining to Windows are documented more fully in
the LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's
Guide):
• Automated setup (simplified guided installation mode)
This release provides automated setup, which allows HP-UX to be quickly configured to
integrate into an LDAP directory server for centralized identity and OS management. Guided
installation mode allows for one-step integration into a Windows domain or LDAP-UX
domain. Guided installation mode can also provision a new HP-UX Directory instance with
a pre-created management domain.
• SSH Host Key Management
LDAP-UX can be used to centrally manage public keys for HP Secure Shell (ssh) hosts. By
provisioning host public keys into the directory server, trust between hosts and users can
be pre-established, eliminating the man-in-the-middle threats. Additionally, LDAP-UX
allows for central management of ssh configuration parameters.
NOTE: This feature is not supported when using LDAP-UX Client Services with Windows
ADS.
• Offline Credential Caching
LDAP-UX can use locally cached user, group, and authentication credentials when contact
with the directory server is lost, providing high availability for the OS and its applications.
