LDAP-UX Integration B.05.00 Release Notes

2.6.4 Long user and group name support
LDAP-UX supports long user and group name of up to 255 characters on an HP-UX 11i v3 system
when you explicitly enable the system for expanded user and group name feature by using the
lugadmin -e command. Refer to the lugadmin man page for details.
On HP-UX 11i v2, the maximum length of the user or group name can be only eight characters.
2.6.5 LDAP directory interoperability
The LDAP-UX product has been certified under the OpenGroup’s works with LDAP 2000
branding.
LDAP-UX has been designed to work with any directory server that can support the RFC 2307
schema or similar syntactic schema (such as the Microsoft Services For Unix 3.5 schema). The
LDAP-UX product requires the "Configuration Profile" schema, which is defined by RFC 4876,
available at http://www.rfc-editor.org. at the IETF drafts web site http://www.ietf.org/
ID.htmlhttp://www.ietf.org/ID.html.
The "Configuration Profile" schema will be automatically installed on directory servers that
support online modification of the subschema subentry.
The following list of directories have been tested or minimally verified.
• HP-UX Directory Server for HP-UX 8.1 - Fully tested and supported
• Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 for HP-UX - Verified and supported
