Password synchronization

[bhoang]

We are trying to find a way to synchronize the HP Unix passwords with LDAP. Wonder if anyone knows how to do this or is aware of any utilities/tools that can be used in this process? The LDAP portion is on Windows 2000 server and HP passwords on HP-UX 11i.
Many thanks.

There is a LDAP-UX integration production available for free from software.hp.com.

I am not sure if you can synchronize the passwords using LDAP-UX.

Rather than syncing the UNIX password to LDAP why not consider authenticating the UNIX user against LDAP itself. This way you dont have to worry about password changes and users will appreciate the fact that they have to remember only one password :-).

You can configure PAM to use LDAP for user authentication.
