— group

— automount
— publickey
— services
— rpc
— hosts
— networks
— protocols
— user-defined maps
LDAP-UX Client Services using Windows 2003 R2/2008Active Directory Server currently
supports passwd, group, hosts, protocols, automount, networks, rpc, and services in a single
domain, and supports only passwd and group in multiple domains. It does not support
netgroup and publickey service data.
The LDAP-UX Client Services daemon, /opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd, caches only
passwd, group, netgroup, automount service data.
2.6.7 Duplicated data entries in ADS multiple domains
To better integrate with HP-UX, it is highly recommended that you maintain unique user names
and uid numbers in the forest, or undesired behaviors may occur. For example:
If an ADS Global Catalog server is configured to retrieve data from remote domains,
LDAP-UX won’t return data if there are duplicate entries in any remote domains
For users having the same user name in multiple domains, LDAP-UX may return user data
from a different domain if the original domain controller fails
A user may not be able to change their password if his/her uid number is not unique in the
forest
2.6.8 Limitations of printer configurator
The new LDAP printer schema based on /etc/opt/ldapux/schema/RFC3712.xml is
imported into the HP-UX Directory Server to create the printer objects.
The LDAP-UX Client Services only supports the HP LP spooler system, network printers,
and printer servers that support the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. The printer
configurator does not support local printers.
In a global management environment, it is hard to determine a default printer for the
individual client system. The LDAP printer configurator treats every printer entry as the
regular printer. The administrator or user is required to manually select a printer as a default
printer for the client system.
2.6.9 Unsupported commands
The following HP-UX commands currently do not work with LDAP-UX Client Services:
Table 2-3 Unsupported HP-UX Commands
Does not change the “finger information for users in the
directory. See the finger(1) man page.
chfn(1)
Does not change the login shell for users in the directory.chsh(1)
The System Administration Manager (SAM) does not
manage name service information in the directory.
However, the System Management Homepage, smh(1M),
provides similar capabilities in HP-UX 11i v3 with full
and integrated support for LDAP.
