LDAP client - cache additional attributes

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi,
I'd like to be able to cache more attributes in secldapclntd's cache than just the OS-defined user attributes like gecos, shell, ...
My use case is that I have a script that currently looks up in LDAP (lsldap -a passwd <username>) for SSH key. That script is ran each time an LDAP user logs into an AIX server (AuthorizedKeysCommand in /etc/ssh/sshd_config).
I'd like to be able to cache extra attributes like the SSH key to avoid extra LDAP queries during login (which ends by longer login time)
As a workaround, in my LDAP mapping file, I mapped LDAP "ssh key" attribute to the system 'gecos' attribute, but unfortunately we need the gecos attribute...

    Lionel (RFE originator) confirmed that the AIX new utility ldapgetusrattr provided the function he is looking for.
    Mark this RFE as delivered in AIX 7.2.5.
