LDAP-UX Integration B.05.01 Release Notes

NOTE: Version 6.0.5 of the Mozilla LDAP SDK includes changes to improve compliance with
the LDAP C API specification defined by the IETF document
draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-05.txt. While the majority of these changes are
maintained within the SDK itself, or opaque to the applications, certain applications might be
impacted and require recompiling. For more information, see Section 2.3.1.1 (page 10)
2.3 Compatibility and installation requirements for LDAP-UX Client Services
This section describes compatibility and installation requirements.
2.3.1 Preparing for installation
2.3.1.1 Mozilla LDAP SDK changes and possible effect on applications
Version 6.0.5 of the Mozilla LDAP SDK includes changes to improve compliance with the LDAP C
API specification defined by the IETF document draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-05.txt.
These changes modify lower-level BER structures. While the majority of these changes are maintained
within the SDK itself, or opaque to the applications, those applications that use or modify binary
data stored in the directory server or that make direct use of non-integrated LDAP extensions or
controls, will likely be impacted. These impacted applications will be incompatible with version
6.0.5 unless re-compiled. If you have a third-party application that no longer functions after
upgrading to LDAP-UX version B.04.20 or later, contact HP support. SAP customers should review
SAP Note 1451598 and 541344 before installing LDAP-UX.
For customers transitioning to the newer version of LDAP SDK, LDAP SDK 5.17 is provided in
/opt/ldapux/lib/legacy/5. Internal versions have been added to both SDKs to help prevent
newly-built applications from using the wrong LDAP library.
2.3.1.2 Memory requirements.
This product has minimal supplementary memory and disk requirements. Beyond the memory
requirements of the operating system and other active applications, your system should have at
least 5 MB of additional main memory, and at least 40 megabytes of free disk space under /opt.
If you enable longterm enumeration caching, disk space requirements will increase by the size of
your current user and group user data.
2.3.1.3 Hardware requirements.
An HP 9000 (PA-RISC) or HP Integrity (IA64) computer system.
2.3.1.4 Operating system requirements.
HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2 or 11i v3.
2.3.1.5 Patch requirement for offline credential cache support
For support of offline (longterm) credential caching, the following patches must be installed before
starting the LDAP-UX client daemon (ldapclientd); otherwise, offline credential caching will be
disabled, even if it is configured in ldapclientd.conf:
PHCO_39715 for HP-UX 11i v2
PHCO_40834 for HP-UX 11i v3
2.3.1.6 Patch requirement for AutoFS with LDAP support on HP-UX 11i v2
For HP-UX 11i v2, if AutoFS support is required then the patch listed in Table 1 is required.
No patches are required for HP-UX 11i v2 without AutoFS support, or for v3.
Use the following command to determine which patches are installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product | grep PH | more
