Overview of NIS+ to LDAP Migration
Comparing Features and Security Between LDAP-UX and NIS+
a.Enforced by Trusted Mode for local accounts. Enforced by the LDAP server for LDAP accounts.
Trusted Mode
NIS+ supports Trusted Mode to provide extensive password and audit policies for local accounts. LDAP-UX Client Services version B.03.30 or later supports coexistence with Trusted Mode system. Local-based accounts can benefit from the Trusted Mode security policies, while LDAP-based accounts benefit from the security policies offered by the LDAP server. Having Trusted Mode support also enables LDAP-based and local-based accounts to be audited in Trusted mode.
The coexistence of LDAP-UX with a Trusted Mode system has limitations and usage requirements. For detailed information, refer to the “Integrating with Trusted Mode” section in the LDAP-UX Client Services Administrator’s Guide at http://docs.hp.com.
