AIX LDAP user SU

When working on the AIX  project we came to a point where there was also need for local users to which we could su. This proved a little problematic because of the su configuration onAIX. I did manage to solve the problem and the need for this page was born, I needed a place to store my newinformation about AIX User Management.

 users who are a LDAP user cannot su to a local user due to the group membership. The fix is pretty simple, use smitty to set the “SU GROUPS” attribute to ALL:

• sudo smitty users
  • Change / Show Characteristics of a User
  • Select the local user
  • Set the “SU GROUPS” attribute to “ALL”. You can't select this option, you'll have to type it.
