Usage Note 19686: Using LAM on AIX to authenticate against LDAP
 |  |  |  |
To use LDAP authentication on AIX, the native Loadable Authentication Module (LAM) system must be configured to authenticate via LDAP. The LAM-supported sasauth must be installed in SAS_9.1/utilities/bin, and it must be setuid root.
In the following example, !SASROOT is the absolute path to the SAS_9.1 directory:
$ su root # cd !SASROOT/utilities/bin # chown root sasauth # chmod 4755 sasauth # exit
For more information on configuring AIX to use LDAP, refer to the following documentation:
Integrating AIX into Heterogeneous LDAP Environments
