Error description

  • Following client enablement steps to set up a LDAP
    netgroup
    may fail if the "registry" value is defined on the LDAP
    server.
    
    # grep "^userattrmappath" ldap.cfg
    userattrmappath:/etc/security/ldap/2307aixuser.map
    
    # grep registry 2307aixuser.map
    registry  SEC_CHAR  passwordregistry  s  na  yes
    
    # lsldap -a passwd ruser | grep passwordregistry
    passwordregistry: LDAP
    
    This shows that the "registry" value is configured on
    the LDAP server.
    

Local fix

  • # grep "^userattrmappath" ldap.cfg
    userattrmappath:/etc/security/ldap/2307aixuser.map
    
    # grep registry 2307aixuser.map
    registry  SEC_CHAR  passwordregistry  s  na  yes
    
    # lsldap -a passwd ruser | grep passwordregistry
    passwordregistry: LDAP
    
    -> the "registry" value is configured at the LDAP server
    
    - commenting the "registry" value in the map file solves
    the
      issue:
    
    # grep registry 2307aixuser.map
    #registry  SEC_CHAR  passwordregistry  s  na  yes
    
    # restart-secldapclntd
    

Problem summary

  • LDAP netgroup user unable to login to the system when LDAP
    user stanza defined with user registry attribute as LDAP.
    Login doesn't take the registry attribute which is defined in
    the /etc/security/user file on the LDAP client systems for
    netgroup user.
    

Problem conclusion

  • It provides an option for the administrator to fecth the user's
    registry either from local /etc/security/user file or from LDAP
    server based on the authcontroldomain attribute in
    /etc/security/login.cfg file.
