Abstract
LDAP user logins or connections stop working
Description
When reconnecting to an LDAP server, AIX and VIOS LPARs using LDAP authentication for users can experience an issue where the LDAP client daemon becomes unresponsive until it is restarted. This unresponsiveness can result in LDAP authenticated users being unable to login or existing LDAP connections to stop working.
After applying the fix, the secldapclntd daemon must be restarted on the LDAP client with:
/usr/sbin/restart-secldapclntd
Note that restarting the secldapclntd daemon without the fix also temporarily resolves the issue, but a fix is needed on the LDAP client to avoid the issue reoccurring when reconnecting to an LDAP server.
Recommended Action
After applying the fix, the secldapclntd daemon must be restarted on the LDAP client with:
/usr/sbin/restart-secldapclntd

This table describes which active levels are affected and where to obtain fixes.
Before the APAR fix is available, an interim fix (iFix) is available for each affected level.
The available interim fixes might apply only to the latest Service Packs. If a custom interim fix is required, contact IBM Support. The interim fixes can be downloaded from the same location by using HTTPS or FTPS.
