RH6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15; glibc-2.1.1-6); Informix-4GL 7.20.UD7 Informix IDS 7.30.UC7. OpenLDAP-1.2.1 We are running nss_ldap-2.85. All our user account information is stored in an OpenLDAP directory server. None of the users is defined in /etc/passwd. When I try to run a compiled Informix 4GE from an LDAP-authenticated login, I get the message: -951 User username is not known on the database server. I created a local user and confirmed that the 4GE runs if the user is defined in /etc/passwd. How can I determine what Informix is doing and how it may be bypassing the Name Service Switch? (I've turned on debugging in nss_ldap and nothing is logged in /var/log/messages. I can see two normal LDAP searches when the 4GE starts before it dies). -- Carrie Coy
