record is required for each SPD Server user. SPD Server uses the psmgr utility's
password database to perform user access control tasks and other tasks that are not
related to user authentication.
• Users that connect to an SPD Server must have corresponding logon information on
the LDAP server. The LDAP server user ID and the SPD Server user ID formats are
the same. The logon password format is the host-operating-system format. A user ID
must be 8 characters or less.
• Some LDAP server products might require users to enter host logon information. In
these cases, confirm with your LDAP server administrator that the host logon
information exists in the LDAP database.
• If you are using LDAP user authentication, and you create a user connection that uses
the NEWPASSWORD= LIBNAME option, the user password is not changed. If you
want to change a user password, follow the operating system procedures to change a
user password, and check with your LDAP server administrator to ensure that the LDAP
database records the password changes.
