What’s New in LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.15
This release contains the following enhancements and changes:
• LDAP User and Group (UG) Management Tools
LDAP-UX Integration B.04.15 supports the new set of non-interactive LDAP command-line
tools that allow you to list, add, modify or delete user accounts and groups in an LDAP
directory server. These new tools provide capabilities to perform those operations based on
the LDAP-UX profile's configuration. But each tool provides command options that allow
you to alter these configuration parameters.
The LDAP User and Group (UG) management tools support the following features:
— Create, modify, delete or list users and groups in an LDAP directory server.
— Modify user or group password.
— Support integration of HP-UX account and group information into existing LDAP user
and group entries.
— Support attribute mapping for definition of POSIX attributes used when creating or
modifying entries.
— Support specification of group membership using X.500-style DN based member
attributes.
— Provide customized and default templates for defining new user and group entries,
which allows arbitrary data models to be used.
— Support SSL or TLS encryption of data connections to the LDAP directory server if
requested.
— Provide the ability to connect to an alternate directory server other than that specified
by the LDAP-UX configuration profile.
— Use the LDAP UG tool to check programmatically if LDAP-UX is installed, configured
and operating properly for a specified service.
The HP System Management Homepage (SMH) UG-web tool uses these LDAP UG command
line tools to implement the web-based user interface functionality that manages POSIX users
and groups in an LDAP directory server. This allows system administrators of HP-UX to
manage users and groups in an LDAP directory server using SMH UG-LDAP web-based
interface on an HP-UX 11i v3 system. The HP System Management Homepage (SMH)
product will deliver the LDAP user and group web-based management feature via HP-UX
11i v3 September, 2007 release.
The LDAP-UX Integration product supports the following LDAP User and Group
command-line tools. For detailed information about tool usage, syntax, options, environment
variables and return codes supported by these tools, refer to the ”LDAP User and Group
Management Tools” section in the LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.15 Administrators' Guide or
