Re: NameService Switch/LDAP/Informix

Carrie I had the same problem using NIS files to store my passwd and group files. Putting them back into local /etc/passwd files solved the problem. Dont know about LDAP, but if you have NIS installed Unix looks at the yp files for authentication, so its just some extra work to keep your /etc/passwd in sync with the yp passwd file.

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
