Thanks for your replies blackrageous & agent.kgb

I would like to store AIX specific attributes (home directory, shell etc) in AIX only.
But the users should be able to authenticate using their MSAD password.

they should be able to reset the password on their own. (just like for their work stations)

I just want to avoid USER administration (like creating/resetting users etc) from AIX side. But i(AIX admin) should be able to control access. (not all AD users can login)

Do we need to create AD group (and attach USERs, that need access) and integrate with AIX ?

please let me know how this works, and which approach is better for my scenario.

Thanks much for your time.
