Maybe I do not understand the question. But, let's say michael exists in both LDAP and AIX domains.
To change the account michael 'locally' I would use:
# chuser -R files .... michael
And the same, or a different change on LDAP would be:
# chuser -R LDAP .... michael
However, I expect most changes using chuser -R LDAP ... michael will fail if your server only supports the RFC2307 DIT or LDIF specification (basically, what is found in /etc/passwd and /etc/group and the shadowed encryption of the password).
Basics:
when you ran the mksecldap command you configured the file /etc/security/ldap.cfg and arranged for the daemons to start.
Look at this section on your server - I do not have LDAP configured so all are commented out - you should have a few uncommented.
Line numbers are approximate!
unix_auth is default, and preferred
Preferred is "system" and update /etc/security/login.cfg to use sssh256
These are the user attributes defining the schema used. Are these uncommented? What do they point too?
And finally, for the basics: what is active/inactive here?

If it's not possible to do it on AIX well... I'll have to find a workaround.
I expect it is using, by default, the same schema (attribute mapping) in LDAP and it does in it's local files.
AIX includes an LDAP server at no additional charge for AIX user admin. Maybe using that will get you 90% of the way. You can still configure AIX to go to a 'foreign' LDAP server for "login" verification.

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.

Hi,
I have been asked to create a ksh script that will search against an LDAP directory from various HP-UX, SUSE, and AIX 5.3 and 6.1 machines. The objective is to verify the boxes are successfully authenticating users from the LDAP store. This is something I've never done, and I could use... (0 Replies)
