LDAP-UX configuration on a trusted system

Hi All,

We are trying to configure a trusted Informix server as an LDAP client. As part of the configuration, /etc/pam.ldap.trusted was copied to /etc/pam.conf.

A connection( SSH session) from a front-end server, which is also an LDAP client, to this server works fine for a LDAP user, but while trying to access the database(using dbaccess from a front-end server) an entry is made for this user in the trusted database of the backend server for this user in the corresponding folder under /tcb. I can get the list of databases (which is the first action) and then onwards for any actions, I get the following Informix error.

"951: Incorrect password or user user_test is not known on the database server"

If I delete the entry in the /tcb/ for the user the next action works and then the problem repeats. The entry being put into the /tcb folder is as follows.

______________________________________________
user_test:u_name=user_test:u_id#34002:\
:u_pwd=*:\
:u_auditid#94522:\
:u_auditflag#1:\
:u_lock@:chkent:
______________________________________________

In short, it works for the first time and once this file is created under /tcb it stops working until it is removed.

I have attached the pam.conf and nsswitch.conf. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Siju Jose

Hi,

Please substitute the * in /etc/passwd with the encrypted password and Informix Server should work with Trusted System.
