I don't know about that. There's an installation guide for Linux/Unix. Since AIX qualifies as Unix I'd give it a try. What the heck, the worst it can do is core dump on you.

From the webpage, looks like it's limited to Windows, Solaris, and Linux.....Of course, it could certainly serve up LDAP to any platform, including AIX, it's just the program itself needs to run on one of the three aforementioned OSes.

Is there an AIX version of tnsManager?

We downloaded it and did manage to get it running on Windoze as well as
Linux.  It is not bad, except that your names are restricted to the
first . in the name.  In our case CORE.PROD.MMS.US got tied up with
CORE.TEST.MMS.US.  Type either into tnsping and you got the first one
that answered.  You have to change them to CORE_PROD_MMS_US.  Phooey!

After much experimenting w/ OID, I discovered a much simpler solution,
called tnsManager. 

See:

I looked at that a few months ago.

Now I can't recall if I got it to work or not.

The problem I see with that is the inevitable issues with any TNS name 
resolution errors, and working with support.
