Operating Systems AIX root password is still invalid after resetting Post 302323590 by funksen on Monday 8th of June 2009 11:19:02 AM

vi /etc/security/user
Code:
SYSTEM = "compat or LDAP"

or just compat, which stands for local files

just ldap would mean that user can't login if ldap-server is down


this setting can be done global in the default stanza, or per user

root default is compat, and registry=files

root on ldap is strongly not recommended
