Unable to log on to a system
When migrated users use the LDAP operating system authentication mechanism, they might not be able to log on to the system. Follow the steps to work around this limitation.
IBM® Verify Directory does not support the password encryption mechanism that UNIX™ supports. Hence, the migrated users might not be able to log on to the system by using LDAP operating system authentication mechanism.
IBM Verify Directory supports CRYPT and MD5 encryption schemes. However, the UNIX system uses a mix of MD5 and CRYPT password encryption scheme, which IBM Verify Directory does not support.
You can use one of the following workaround for this problem:
- LDAP administrator can reset the user password for the migrated users on the LDAP system.
- Create new users on the LDAP system for LDAP - operating system authentication.
