  • 1.  Do we need the rpm package openldap

    Posted Tue September 20, 2022 10:30 AM
    Hello,

    We are running AIX 7.2 TL5 SP4 lpar.

    We are working with AIX Fileset Openssl.
    We are working with AIX Fileset LDAP.
    We are working with Aixtoolbox open source rpm  sudo_ids.

    Is there a good reason to keep the Aixtoolbox open source rpm    openldap-2.0.21-6ssl.ppc  ?
    Do we really need this package ?
    Can we remove it ?

    We know sudo_ids is working with AIX Fileset LDAP so we wonder if openldap is really usefull ?

    We thank you very much for your help,

    Hi Christophe,

    I am not sure if openldap-2.0.21-6ssl.ppc package is from AIX toolbox. I can not find this version in our repo. 
    Also this version is very old. sudo_ids does not use openldap it uses IBM LDAP. 
    So if you are not using this and there are no other package that depends on this openldap then I think this can be removed.
