LDAP user authentication issue
Hello everyone, hoping you can provide some incite with a little problem I'm having..

I have the LDAP client configured and running on my AIX 5.3 server, which is authenticating against an eDirectory LDAP server. I can login via LDAP no problems on the AIX server with newly created users, however I can't get existing local AIX users switched over and logged in via LDAP.

I issue the following: chuser SYSTEM=LDAP registry=LDAP username and try to login in with that user via putty and get a message stating "server unexpectedly closed network connection".

However, if I first login with a local user, then su to the user via LDAP it authenticates successfully, so it appears there is something not right with just the initial login, ideas?
