I successfully compiled everything I need in AIX 5.3. Soon I'll do the
same for 5.2.
I can sucessfully use ldapsearch.

I'm configuring OpenLDAP in AIX, I'm not using IBM LDAP client because
it has some restrictions that I need.

There are several documents you can look at.

The first I'ld advise to read is redbook
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246066.pdf

There is also the security reference book
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixbman/security/security.pdf

But there are more...

Also:

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246622.pdf

read first three charpters, there are info. on nss_ldap/pam_ldap configure options.

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/whitepapers/ldap_client.pdf

Google: "site:www.ldapguru.com aix"
