HP-UX11 Authenticating With OpenLDAP

August 26, 2009 in Blog

A strikingly similar situation as with the Sun I posted about earlier. The installation actually was quite easy after having completed the Sun configuration.

  1. Install LDAPUX (available from HP’s site somewhere, just google for ‘download ldapux’).
  2. On slapd: Make sure the ‘profile’ OU is accessible by anybody. It doesn’t store sensitive data, but should be able to be read by the HP-UX system in question.
  3. Follow the instructions on: this guy’s blog
  4. Make sure you do this stuffs too!
    1. Make sure you select option 1 when it asks which type of directory server you’re trying to connect to.
    2. Make sure your ‘credentialLevel’ is set to ‘proxy’ if you want to use a proxy user.

Update: FreeBSD’s iSCSI Initiator

August 3, 2009 in Blog

Well worth mentioning:

There’s a way more updated version of the iSCSI Initiator on the developer’s public FTP site.

ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/

With this version I’m now seeing acceptable IO (around 65MB/s reads/writes) after setting tags=256 in iscsi.conf.

All credits to the developer.

Because I’m in the US, I have fairly bad connectivity to that site. I’ve mirrored it here:
