Hi, Terry.
No, your z/OS person is mistaken. You can still run LDAP on zLinux to do your
authentication. What the z/OS person might be referring to is that if you choose to run
the z/VM supplied LDAP server, it can use zVM's RACF to store Linux user ids and passwords.

Hi
Currently we are using LDAP on our z/Linux Red Hat 4.6 which is running
on a z/VM 5.3 system to do our authentication. One of our z/OS folks
said they saw somewhere that under z/VM 5.4 that you could no longer use
LDAP on z/Linux to authenticate, that it would need to be done at the
z/VM level. Is this true?
Thank You,
