  • 1.  Migrating AIX users to Linux

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone out there knew if it was possible to migrate users from AIX to Linux.

    What we want to do is install OpenLDAP on a Linux machine and port all the users over to LDAP. I've googled around and could only find a few things, such as mrgpwd - but that only comes with NIS as far as I know.

    Suggestions are very much welcomed - thank you in advance!

    Try the nis2ldif and sec2ldif commands. This create LDAP input files from either NIS AIX users or file based AIX users. Specify that you want the RFC2307 schema option.

    What fileset are those commands in?

    bos.rte.security - these are AIX filesets that you will have installed. They are in /usr/sbin.
    $ ls /usr/sbin/sec*
    /usr/sbin/secldapclntd /usr/sbin/secldifconv /usr/sbin/sectoldif
    $ lslpp -w /usr/sbin/sectoldif
    File Fileset Type
    /usr/sbin/sectoldif bos.rte.security File
    $ lslpp -w /usr/sbin/nistoldif
    File Fileset Type
    /usr/sbin/nistoldif bos.rte.security File
    Sorry about the wrong spelling
