12.2 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:
• Automated setup (simplified guided installation mode)
This release provides automated setup, which enables HP-UX to be quickly configured to
integrate into an LDAP directory server for centralized identity and OS management. Guided
installation mode enables one-step integration into a Windows domain or LDAP-UX domain.
Guided installation mode can also provision a new HP-UX Directory instance with an existing
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
preestablished, eliminating the man-in-the-middle threats. Additionally, LDAP-UX enables central
management of ssh configuration parameters.
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.
For patch requirements, see the LDAP-UX Integration Release Notes.
This feature is not supported when using LDAP-UX Client Services with Windows ADS.
• IPv6 support
LDAP-UX OS integration and management tools can now connect to directory servers through
IPv6 addressing.
• Compat Mode performance enhancement
For organizations that rely on the legacy netgroup /etc/passwd filtering, the Compat Mode
performance enhancement significantly improves performance when numerous and large
netgroups are used in the /etc/passwd file for controlling passwd fields.
