Operating Systems AIX How to change normal user id to LDAP user id? Post 302478690 by kah00na on Wednesday 8th of December 2010 03:54:49 PM

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.
