Migrating RHEL 5 UNIX users to AIX
Hi,

I'm able to migrate UNIX users/groups from Solaris to AIX (with same password using 13-char encrypted password from shadow file) but no luck with RHEL 5 to AIX.

I see encrypted password in RHEL 5 is bit lengthier than 13-char. Is there any way to convert encrypted password such that same password works on AIX as well? If i use same encrypted password, it just says "User locked" on AIX.

Pls advise
TIA
Reddy

AIX stores it's encrypted passwords in /etc/security/password. I've migrated from AIX to RHEL a number of times, and spent some time looking into migrating passwords. I'm sure that the algorithm used in AIX is reversible, and that the one used in RHEL isn't. I don't think it's possible to migrate users with their passwords between the two.
