  • 1.  Caching CentrifyDC user/group lookups on AIX

    Posted Fri June 27, 2025 12:51 AM

    Hello All

    I am working with a client who uses CentrifyDC for AD integration. On Solaris and Linux they use nscd to cache user/group lookups. AIX netcd only supports user/group caching for NIS/yellow pages.

    If anyone is aware of a solution for caching user/group lookups in a CentrifyDC environment I would greatly appreciate any information.

    Thanks.

    Hello Chris,

    I didn't work with CentrifyDC, but from my experience with the software I worked with, it uses either LDAP or NIS on AIX side. 

    If it uses LDAP, secldapclntd has caching options.

    If it uses NIS, netcd helps.

    netcd caches not only NIS but also local users. If you have a specific agent on AIX, configure netcd to cache local users and groups (man netcd.conf). It should help, too.
