How can I disable automatic home directory creation? (4218511)

By default QAS will create a home directory for a user that is able to log in but does not have a home directory.

This may not be desired, for example:
If the users already have auto mount home directories but automountd is not working
The partition containing physical home directories is not currently mounted.

RESOLUTION 1:
Disable home directory creation in the PAM configuration files:

Edit /etc/pam.conf or the /etc/pam.d/* files on Linux
Remove all "create_homedir" parameters in all the pam_vas.so lines

RESOLUTION 2:
Change the home directory creation script:

By default QAS will call the following script to create the home directories:
/opt/quest/libexec/vas/homedir-create.sh

This script can be changed with the following configuration option in /etc/opt/quest/vas/vas.conf:
[vas_auth]
homedir-creation-script = /path/to/new/script

You can then control what is done in your own script. For example, create a placeholder script that does nothing. Or set to /bin/true to disable it.

This setting can also be set in Group Policy - Unix Settings | Client Configuration | QAS Configuration | homedir-creation-script

RESOLUTION 3 (AIX only):
Configure the following option in /etc/opt/quest/vas/vas.conf:

[aix_vas]
create-homedir = false

RESOLUTION 4 (Tru64 only):
Configure the following option in /etc/opt/quest/vas/vas.conf:

[siad_vas]
create-homedir = false
