nscd daemon for hp-ux 11.11

[sfgroups]

Hi,


We are going to implement LDAP authentication for our HP 11.11 UNIX servers. In Solaris we use nscd process to caching.

Can I use the same process in HP-UX also? Some where I found pwgrd reference, is this process change username & password from ldap?

Thanks

Shalom,

I recommend the ldap-ux client.

Yes, pwgrd is just like the ncsd daemon (used in Linux too). It's usually installed by default and is controlled by /etc/rc.config.d/pwgr. Your options are, On, and Off.

It is used as PART of the LDAP client processes, however it's not the whole soution.

There are more than a few whitepapers and document references. The link below will get you started:

Also note, if you are planning on using Kerberos, there's a whole lot more there.


For use with Samba:

Enhanced AutoFS and LDAP:

Those should get you started.

Pay attention to the pam_authz stuff as well.

Good luck,
Don
