This document describes the installation and administration tasks of LDAP-UX Client Services with Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003 or 2003 R2 Active Directory.

Intended Audience

This document is intended for system and network administrators responsible for installing, configuring, and managing LDAP-UX Client Services with Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003 or 2003 R2 Active Directory Server.

New and Changed Documentation in This Edition

This edition documents the following new information for the LDAP-UX Client Services version B.04.10:

  • Support dynamic groups, this feature provides a reference to a dynamically managed group based on the user's status in an organization. A user can be added to or removed from a group dynamically based on his/her most current status.

  • Enhance PAM_Authz to provide LDAP account and password security policy enforcement without requiring LDAP-based authentication. This feature supports applications which have already performed authentication, such as secure shell (SSH) or the r-commands.

  • Support dynamic variables in the ldap_filter type of the access rule.

  • Enhance PAM_Authz to provide meaningful error messages. For example, if the pam_authz policy rule indicates that an account has been locked out or a password has expired, pam_authz can return an appropriate PAM error code instead of a general deny error code.

  • Support new extension operation of TLS protocol called startTLS to secure communication between LDAP clients and Windows Active Directory Server (ADS). An encrypted connection can be established on an un-encrypted port, such as 389.

  • Support the schema extension utility which provides functionality to add new application specific schema definitions to the current schema definitions. This tool allows creation of a single schema definition in a general purpose format which can be installed on a number of different directory servers types (such as RHDS, Windows ADS, etc…).
