System in trusted mode to Ldap

[duccio]

Dear all,
I configured, on a system HP 11.23 in trusted mode, the LDAP client; so I would like to move my users on LDAP.
I meet this problem
1) cron does'not work with users on passwd(tbc)
Anyone kwons the best way to configure LDAP for system on trused mode
Best regards

Hi Duccio

My understanding is that you cannot use LDAP on a trusted system because you need the tcb database for authentication in trusted.

This is an assumption as I have read you cannot convert a server with LDAP to trusted mode.

It's been a while since I looked in to LDAP-UX, but I remember the documentation had a section on the issues with using LDAP-UX under trusted mode. It doesn't integrate very well.

I think you can use trusted mode with LDAP, but you can't easily convert a system from trusted mode to LDAP. None of the scripts for loading local users in to LDAP will work with the files under /tcb, and none of them will work with passwords over 8 characters (trusted mode uses "bigcrypt" instead of standard crypt to support longer passwords). The /tcb files have to exist but won't get cleaned up when you delete users from LDAP. Some of the trusted mode policies also won't work for LDAP users.
