How to specify user_attr database in name-service/switch

edited Apr 9, 2014 10:02AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered ✓

According to nsswitch.conf(4):

...

    The following databases use the switch file:

            Database                        Used By

    ...                      ...

    user_attr                getuserattr(3C)

...


OK, passing to Solaris 11 world we have a new reality as described in Databases and Sources for the Name Service Switch.

But the problem is that there's no equivalent to user_attr.

The config/default doesn't work (doesn't cover the user_attr database either).

So, how can I customize the databases for user_attr in the Name Service Switch?

Needless to say this is important to centrally configure roles, authorizations, default projects to users and so on.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy, Stranger!
