OpenLDAP and LDAP-UX

I have been reading the forums for the past few days while trying my best to implement a simple OpenLDAP server for user authentication on HP-UX.

I am using the OpenLDAP server provided with Internet Express on 11.31.

I have been able to configure the OpenLDAP database and populate it with posixAccounts but am having trouble with getting LDAP-UX to allow me to use the LDAP server as an authentication source.

I have found that I cannot run the /opt/ldapux/config/setup program without the DAUconfig.schema included in my slapd.conf, which I downloaded from the internet (it was not included in the openldap depot).

I believe that all I need to do is get the ldapux profile configured correctly in openldap, as the wizard (/opt/ldapux/config/get_profile_entry) comes back and tells me it cannot download the profile.

I am on the right track with this? Does anyone have a good idea of the process needed to configure OpenLDAP as an authentication source for HP-UX?


Thanks for any help
Ben

Re: OpenLDAP and LDAP-UX

That's none of my business, but why not use Red Hat Directory Server? It's included with HP-UX, it's well documented and it's supported by HP, while OpenLDAP isn't. Of course if you run OpenLDAP elsewhere in your shop you can disregard my remark.
