I'm setting up AIX 5.2 as an LDAP Client.
The server is an openLDAP with AIX6.1 with RFC2307AIX schema included.
(the schema is self-written)

I managed to set up AIX 5.3 fine to authenticate OS users. However not on 5.2.
The problem is; the userPasswords are crypted on the Server, therefore the authentication needs to be done on the LDAP Server, not on the client.

On AIX 5.3, there is the "authtype" parameter in /etc/security/ldap/ldap.cfg, which is set to "ldap_auth", but not on 5.2.

The question is,
How can I set AIX 5.2 LDAP Client set to authenticate by the LDAP Server.

Apology, the Thread title was wrong.
"LDAP Client set up on AIX_5.2_" is the correct title.

Hi, Yes, In AIX 5.2 , there is no ldap_auth authentication mechanism. So authentication should only work with unix_auth. Does the users passwords encrypted in "crypt" format ? If it's crypt format user authentication should work in AIX 5.2 release. Ensure that user passwords in crypt format on LDAP server.
