The LDAP-UX Integration product uses the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to centralize user, group and network information management in an LDAP directory. 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. The LDAP-UX Integration product includes the following subcomponents:

  • LDAP-UX Client Services

  • LDAP-UX Client Administration Tools and Migration Scripts

  • NIS/LDAP Gateway Server

LDAP-UX Client Services contains pam_authz and the Mozilla LDAP C Software Development Kit (SDK) two subcomponents. LDAP-UX Client Services simplifies HP-UX system administration by consolidating account, group and other configuration information into a central LDAP directory server. The LDAP-UX Client Services software works with a variety of LDAP v3 capable directory servers and is fully tested with Red Hat Directory Server and the Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/2003 R2 Active Directory Server.

The LDAP-UX Client administration tools can help you to manage data in an LDAP directory server. Migration scripts can be used to convert NIS, NIS+ maps or corresponding /etc files into LDIF files and import them into an LDAP directory server.

NIS/LDAP Gateway is a Network Information Service (NIS) that allows an NIS client to use an LDAP directory as its repository for NIS maps. This product provides an NIS to LDAP Gateway which converts NIS rpc requests into LDAP operations.
