When you change the default-Stanza to LDAP
you have to specify for all local (already existing) users SYSTEM = "files" and registry = files - or e.g. the login process will search them on the LDAP-Server.
If LDAP is the default you need to specify that a user should create or exists locally:

Thanks for your reply,
I've already triied this, it's not a suitable solution as we may create local and LDAP users anytime. What could be perfect is something like :
I really want to stay with the default behavior:
all user operations will be local and if they can't be performed locally, they will try the LDAP.

Thanks for your reply,
a) b) I'm root
c) My defaults
e) registry = LDAP
This does not really do what i want as when you mkuser a new user, his registry will be on LDAP by default, and i want it to be files by default.
f) For users, rather account names, that must be local add at least "SYSTEM=compat" to the user, e.g., for michael
It's not something that i would like to as as we have a large number of accounts and they are not all the same depending on the server. It would be a big work to declare the registry and SYSTEM parameters of our local users.
Other stuff) I understood that registry is where to look for user informations and security files.
If you declare registry to LDAP, AIX will look for the user's files (passwd, group, shadow) on the LDAP, even if the user has SYSTEM = compat.
Here's an example:
Conditions : SYSTEM = compat, registry = LDAP
Now the same user test with registry = files ---------- Post updated at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous update was at 07:13 AM ----------
I'm trying to exactly do what i said earlier
If i put registry to LDAP, all user will be searched on the LDAP.
I think i need the SYSTEM = 'compat or LDAP' to login to local and LDAP users.

I am implementing LDAP on Linux based system using openldap.
My management objects to the idea that all individual users will authenticate against an LDAP server because “what if it is not available”
Their suggestion is that we run in parallel a set of local configured users and a set of LDAP... (1 Reply)
Besides doing some shell-script which loops through /etc/passwd, I was wondering if there was some command that would tell me, like an enhanced version of getent.
