Greetings...My first post here...
I am facing issue on a x86 Solaris server, running on VMWare. We have to install latest patch cluster. I took a snapshot (on VMWare side), so we have backup copy. Downloaded and installed latest patch cluster. Post patching, I am not able to login on server with any non-root user (LDAP user). Since, this server is not in support, I an not expect Oracle's help on this. I am not sure, which patch broke authentication mechanism.
In second attempt, I restored snapshot and this time I commented "possible culprit" patches in patch_order as below
I applied patch cluster and it again came in same state.
I am not able to figure out, which patch is creating this problem so I can exclude that. Can somebody help me with this troubleshooting
Thanks in advance

Hi,

ldap_cachemgr
ldap_cachemgr(1M) System Administration Commands ldap_cachemgr(1M)NAME
ldap_cachemgr - LDAP daemon to manage client configuration for LDAP based Network Information Service lookups
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr [-l log-file] [-g]
DESCRIPTION
The ldap_cachemgr daemon is a process that provides an up-to-date configuration cache for LDAP naming services. It is started during multi-
user boot.
The ldap_cachemgr utility provides caching for all parameters as specified and used by the LDAP naming service clients. The ldap_cachemgr
utility uses the cache files which are originally created by executing the ldapclient(1M) utility, as cold start files. Updates to the
cache files take place dynamically if profiles are used to configure the client. See the init option to ldapclient(1M).
The ldap_cachemgr utility helps improve the performance of the clients that are using LDAP as the Naming service repository. In order for
the LDAP naming services to function properly, the ldap_cachemgr daemon must be running. ldap_cachemgr also improves system security by
making the configuration files readable by superuser only.
The cache maintained by this daemon is shared by all the processes that access LDAP Naming information. All processes access this cache
through a door call. On startup, ldap_cachemgr initializes the cache from the cache files. See ldapclient(1M). Thus, the cache survives
machine reboots.
The ldap_cachemgr daemon also acts as its own administration tool. If an instance of ldap_cachemgr is already running, commands are passed
transparently to the running version.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-g Print current configuration and statistics to standard output. This is the only option executable without superuser
privileges.
-l log-file Cause ldap_cachemgr to use a log file other than the default /var/ldap/cachemgr.log.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Stopping and Restarting the ldap_cachemgr Daemon
The following example shows how to stop and to restart the ldap_cachemgr daemon.
example# svcadm enable network/ldap/client
example# svcadm disable network/ldap/client
Example 2: Forcing ldap_cachemgr to Reread the /var/ldap/ldap_client_file and /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred Files
The following example shows how to force ldap_cachemgr to reread the /var/ldap/ldap_client_file and /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred files
example# pkill -HUP ldap_cachemgr
FILES
/var/ldap/cachemgr.log Default log file.
/var/ldap/ldap_client_file Files containing the LDAP configuration of the client. These files are not to be modified manually. Their
/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred content is not guaranteed to be human readable. Use ldapclient(1M) to update these files.
WARNINGS
The ldap_cachemgr utility is included in the Solaris 9 release on an uncommitted basis only. It is subject to change or removal in a
future minor release.
