slapd-passwd (5)
NAME
slapd-passwd - /etc/passwd backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The PASSWD backend to
slapd(8)
serves up the user account information listed in the system
passwd(5)
file. This backend is provided for demonstration purposes only.
The DN of each entry is "uid=<username>,<suffix>".
Note that non-base searches scan the entire passwd file, and
are best suited for hosts with small passwd files.
CONFIGURATION
This
slapd.conf
option applies to the PASSWD backend database.
That is, it must follow a "database passwd" line and come before any
subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
Other database options are described in the
slapd.conf(5)
manual page.
- file <filename>
-
Specifies an alternate passwd file to use.
The default is
/etc/passwd.
ACCESS CONTROL
The
passwd
backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in
slapd.access(5).
Only
read (=r)
access to the
entry
pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries
returned by the
search
operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
