HP-UX Integrated Login

Notes, Cautions, and Warnings

 

Synchronization of passwords between DCE and an HP-UX

 

Commercial Security Trusted System cannot be achieved through the

 

passwd_export cron job. Such synchronization can only be achieved

 

by separately modifying a user’s DCE and HP-UX passwords to be the

 

same.

 

DCE passwords are global to a network, whereas the Commercial

 

Security passwords are local to a single system. To change a password

 

when using DCE with Commercial Security, first change it for HP-UX

 

and DCE on one system. This can be done in one step with the

 

passwd command, provided the new password chosen is acceptable

 

to both HP-UX and DCE. Then change it on all the other HP-UX

 

systems on which you have an account by using the passwd

 

command with the -roption.

 

Users logged in to a foreign cell cannot use the passwd command to

NOTE

 

change a password.
