2.2 What’s new in LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00
LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 is a major update to the LDAP-UX Integration product. Several
new features are added to this release to greatly enhance management of enterprise computing
centers and to help comply with strict security requirements:
• Automated setup (simplified guided installation mode)
This release provides automated setup, which allows HP-UX to be quickly configured to integrate
into an LDAP directory server for centralized identity and OS management. Guided installation
mode allows for one-step integration into a Windows domain or LDAP-UX domain. Guided
installation mode can also provision a new HP-UX Directory instance with a pre-created
management domain.
• SSH Host Key Management
LDAP-UX can be used to centrally manage public keys for HP Secure Shell (ssh) hosts. By
provisioning host public keys into the directory server, trust between hosts and users can be
pre-established, eliminating the man-in-the-middle threats. Additionally, LDAP-UX allows for
central management of ssh configuration parameters.
NOTE: This feature is not supported when using LDAP-UX Client Services with Windows
ADS.
• Offline Credential Caching
LDAP-UX can use locally cached user, group, and authentication credentials when contact
with the directory server is lost, providing high availability for the OS and its applications.
For patch requirements, see Section 2.3.1.5 (page 10)
