With those parameters, you are telling AIX to disregard the local user info on that user because it is an LDAP user. All the normal user commands you are used to do not show user information from your LDAP. If you were to change the parameters back or remove its entry from the /etc/security/user file, you could then see the user's attributes.
Do you have your box configured so it can query from an LDAP? I worked on setting mine up like that for quite a while and never got it to work 100%. Now I'm working on getting my users to authenticate via the Windows Server 2008 KDC (Kerberos) instead and keep all the user attributes on my local machine. I think this will be simpler. I haven't met anyone yet who actually does full authentication via an LDAP.

nslcd(8) System Manager's Manual nslcd(8)
NAME
nslcd - local LDAP name service daemon.
SYNOPSIS
nslcd [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
nslcd is a daemon that will do LDAP queries for local processes that want to do user, group and other naming lookups (NSS) or do user au-
thentication, authorisation or password modification (PAM).
nslcd is configured through a configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5)).
See the included README for information on configuring the LDAP server.
OPTIONS
nslcd accepts the following options:
-c, --check
Check if the daemon is running. This causes nslcd to return 0 if the daemon is already running and 1 if it is not.
-d, --debug
Enable debugging mode. nslcd will not put itself in the background and sends verbose debugging info to stderr. nslcd will handle
connections as usual. This option is for debugging purposes only. Specify this option multiple times to also include more detailed
logging from the LDAP library.
--help Display short help and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
FILES
/etc/nslcd.conf - the configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5))
SEE ALSO
nslcd.conf(5)
