I have several HPUX 11.11 servers, all of them configured with integration to windows active directory for authentication of users.
One of the servers truncates usernames to 8 characters. This prevents tools like sudo from working.
I have tried the server in TCB mode and it makes no difference.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Regards
Ross

Re: username truncated to 8 characters
Only one of the servers truncates user name like tat.
The all should.
HP-UX supports integration into windows ADS domains, but in principle ignores user name characters beyond number 8.
Whatever integration is being used, ADS, DOMAIN is probably the root cause of this problem.
There are probably clues in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file.

Re: username truncated to 8 characters
As mentioned by SEP above, if the HP-UX servers are similar, you should all behave similarly.
there may be something specific on the server where you have encountered the problem.
You may also get some clues in the SUDO log files. (the default logfile is found at /var/run/sudo/sudo.log)
revert
kind regards

Re: username truncated to 8 characters
As you can see from this output, the broken server (server1) chops the end of the username
Beveridg@server1(beveridger)> id
uid=10183(Beveridg) gid=10000(AdmsUnix)
BeveridgeR@server2(beveridger)> id
uid=10183(BeveridgeR) gid=10000(AdmsUnix)
The only error output is this in the syslog:-
Mar 18 15:55:19 server1 sudo: Beveridg : pam_authenticate: No account present for user ; TTY=pts/5 ; PWD=/home/beveridger ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/su -

Solutionif so, search the knowledge base for KBRC00003778. The following link also provides some info regarding usernames longer than 8 characters:

Re: username truncated to 8 characters
None of the servers have the "I_ACCEPT_RESPONSIBILITY_FOR_BYPASSING_SECURITY_CHECKS" file which is mentioned on other forums, so that can't be the cause of the problem.

Re: username truncated to 8 characters
Fingers crossed that the problem will be gone after the gold release patches are installed.
