Moving user authentication from ./etc/passwd to LDAP: OS 11.2

English Network/Internet

I used YaST to setup an LDAP server on the localhost. I have been using /etc/passwd for managing users. I used the LDAP Client tool in YaST to set user authentication to LDAP. But when I create a new user using the User and Group Management tool, it still puts the user in /etc/passwd.

How do I manage users so that the user and group data go into LDAP?

The /etc/nsswitch.conf is

passwd: compat
group: files ldap

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
networks: files dns

services: files ldap
protocols: files
rpc: files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
netgroup: files ldap
publickey: files

bootparams: files
automount: files nis
aliases: files ldap
passwd_compat: ldap

OK, I got the first part. I hadn’t been using the “set filter” to select LDAP. That part seems to work. Now, how do I move my existing users to LDAP?
