Beginning with 5.3 AIX can use usernames up to a length of 255 chars. Unfortunately this has to be configured as the default is still 8 chars (AIX does not complain if your login name is longer - however everything after the eighth char is not used for login name validation but ignored). Use smitty chgsys and change the "Max login name length at boot time" to the value you need. Mind that you need to add 1 to that number because of the extra char for the terminating NULL char. Reboot and try again.

Hello,
We have a Solaris 9 machine and recently our client want to create username based on staff numbers (all numeric).
Is there any limitation in Solaris regarding creating username with numeric values (eg: 13598029)?
Thanks & Regards

host => 'od.company.com',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))'
);
Microsoft Active Directory
my $ldap = Authen::Simple::LDAP->new(
host => 'ad.company.com',
binddn => 'proxyuser@company.com',
bindpw => 'secret',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%s))'

Active Directory by default does not allow anonymous binds. It's recommended that a proxy user is used that has sufficient rights to search
the desired tree and attributes.
