Operating Systems AIX LDAP user authentication issue Post 302370315 by zaxxon on Wednesday 11th of November 2009 04:28:12 AM

You wrote that you switched with chuser the existing ones to SYSTEM="LDAP" and registry=LDAP. I am not sure what AIX does if it finds authentication data locally still of users that are supplied by LDAP.
If you want to keep them locally too, this should be possible with "LDAP or compat" I guess though I did not try it out, but it should be noted in the Redbook "Implementing AIX into heterogenous LDAP environments".

We have no backup users since the passwords will not be synchronized between LDAP and local users so that if something happens to our LDAP servers, they might have forgotten their old local passwords anyway.
Also some political thing does prevent us from keeping them locally anyway.

Maybe try it out with 1 user that is locally (save it's entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/security/user, /etc/security/passwd so you can put them back again), remove his other local entries etc., so that it will become a LDAP only user and see if this works. Else there will be something wrong with the "or" thingy to try LDAP 1st, then fall back to compat. Maybe you can try "LDAP or files" too.
