LDAP-UX Integration B.05.01 Release Notes

1 LDAP-UX integration overview
The LDAP-UX Integration product integrates HP-UX systems with an LDAP directory. Specifically this
product allows HP-UX client systems to use an LDAP directory as its repository for name service
data. LDAP-UX Integration enables the LDAP directory to be used as a single source repository for
HP-UX authentication, authorization, user data, and account management.
This product consists of two components:
• LDAP-UX Client Services - This software enables HP-UX clients to access name service information
in an LDAP directory server. pam_authz and the Mozilla LDAP C SDK are two subproducts of
this product.
• NIS/LDAP Gateway Server - NIS/LDAP Gateway is a Network Information Service (NIS) that
uses an LDAP directory as its information data store instead of NIS maps.
The LDAP-UX Integration product does not include an LDAP directory server.
You can obtain the HP-UX Directory Server and Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX from http://
www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot or from your local HP sales office.
