Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a distributed hierarchical directory-service access protocol that is used to access repositories of users and other network-related entities. IBM SecureWay Directory is a highly scalable and robust LDAP directory server. The AIX Security Subsystem's use of the SecureWay Directory allows for centralized security authentication, as well as access to user and group information. This functionality can be used in a host clustering environment to keep authentication, user, and group information common. The mksecldap command sets up an AIX cluster that consists of one or more servers, and one or more clients that use the SecureWay Directory (LDAP) for security authentication, user and group management. The whitepaper provides an overview of the mksecldap command, examples, a FAQ's section and a troubleshooting section.
