Integrating LDAPUX with eDirectory 8.73 Novell

[Dogo]

Hi, I am trying to redirect the authentication from one HPUX server to eDirectory 8.73. The problem is that all the information is related to Netscape or RH directory or AD.
I have been trying to find some information about that integration but I was not be able to do it.. Does anyone have some information to make that intregration?
TIA

I've installed LDAP-UX on a machine and pointed it an an eDirectory tree.

I made it through LDAP-UX's canned setup script with no errors after getting the correct cert8.db and key7.db files in the right places. I can now do successful searches of the tree with ldapsearch, using simple binding over TLS.

However, after copying pam.ldap over to pam.conf, and nsswitch.ldap over to nsswitch.conf, NSS still will not go to LDAP for information. nsquery reports "Name Service not available."

Ironically, I'm much farther now than I was when I tried to get LDAP-UX to do lookups in a Microsoft AD tree. That just didn't work at all, even though it's supposedly fully supported.

The release notes for LDAP-UX indicate that using this with eDirectory requires manually extending the schema, but I can't find any details on what ldif I should feed eDirectory.

I'm guessing the "posixXXXX" attributes are missing, but then again, I can't get NSS to hit LDAP to tell me there's nothing.

If anybody else has any clues, they would much appreciated.

Hi, Just started a similar process where we are looking to authentication HP servers with Novell eDirectory. We have already manually extended or schema to suppoport RFC2307. And after installing the LDAP-UX package I stopped at the set-up where the only entries where as you mentionned (AD or Netscape).

Did you have any look in setting up authenication to eDirectory?

I take it that you had to manually configure the various files?

The prior person that replied what option did they take on the setup?

Did you find any more info to assist with your implementation?
