Operating Systems AIX Centralized RBAC using Active Directory or (AD LDS) Post 302561542 by romiban on Tuesday 4th of October 2011 11:37:02 AM

Centralized RBAC using Active Directory or (AD LDS)

Hi everybody,

I am working on the RBAC implementation on AIX 6.1 servers. There are quite a few servers and I would like the RBAC objects to be stored centrally in a LDAP database. It would be easier from the administration point of view. Has anyone ever been able to use Active Directory or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services for this purpose ? The AIX user accounts are managed using AD and it would be much easier to have the RBAC roles in the same place.

Thank you,

Romi
