The LDAP-UX Integration product contains the following subproducts:
• LDAP-UX Client Services. Provides both an LDAP-based Pluggable
Authentication Module (PAM) and Name Service Switch (NSS)
module.
— PAM is the Pluggable Authentication Module, which allows the
HP-UX OS and its applications to perform authenticaion of
users, without detailed knowledge about the particular method
used to manage user data. (LDAP, Kerberos, /etc/passwd file,
etc...).
— NSS is the Name Service Switch which is a pluggable name
resolution service. It’s used by various C library APIs, such as
getpwnam() and others to discover user, group and other
POSIX-related information.
• LDAP-UX Client Administrator’s Tools and Migration Scripts.
Administrator’s Tools are used to manage data in the LDAP
directory server. Migration scripts are used to migrate NIS+ or NIS
service data to the LDAP directory.
• Mozilla LDAP Software Development Kit (SDK). The LDAP
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for building
LDAP-enabled clients.
