• LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports discovery and

management of publickeys in an LDAP directory. Both public and

secret keys, used by the SecureRPC API can be stored in user and

host entries in an LDAP directory server, using the nisKeyObject

objectclass. You can use chkey and newkey commands to manage

user and host keys in an LDAP server.

If you plan to store and manage the publickeys in your LDAP

directory, you must conﬁgure the LDAP-UX Client Services with

publickey supports. For the detailed information on how to conﬁgure

LDAP-UX Client Services with publickey support, refer to the

“Conﬁgure LDAP-UX Client Services With Publickey Support”
