In this article I'll show the steps and script to manage team membership based on being a member of an Active Directory security group. I'll create two Azure Enterprise Applications, a script and an Azure DevOps Server pipeline. How fun.
AIX Home Directory
Summary: ALthough AIX is by now on version 7.3 I find these old pages so fascinating I decided to keep them. On this page I'll tell you how to automatically create a home directory when a user logs in using SSH. This page is for AIX 5.3 and 6.1.

Under normal circumstances you would use the PAM module pam_mkhomedir.so to create a home directory when it not exists and a user logins. This does not work using SSH because this is considered a security breach. This article is about the autocreation of a home directory when users login using SSH. Because the pam module doesn't work anymore we use the “make_home_dir” program from TrustSec.
Note: The recommendations used here are mostly from the readme, this readme was however created for linux so a few commands didn't work. The commands used here are for AIX.
