Take a look at these links:

This document gives an excellent overview of LDAP and HP-UX integration and reasons why users should consider it:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/internet/uxint.html

This document is specific to the LDAP-UX Client Services product:

This document is specific to the NIS/LDAP Gateway product:

Release notes for NIS/LDAP Gateway product:

Basically, because of increase in complexity of NIS+ and its history of problems with successful implementations, LDAP has moved in as an alternative to NIS+ and is fast becoming the open-standard protocol for accessing information services.

Most UNIX vendors are now providing some form of LDAP enablement. In June 2000, HP released two products that will allow HP-UX to be LDAP enabled. The two products are:

LDAP-UX Client Services
NIS/LDAP Gateway

Each can be described fully in the links above.

Hope this helps.
