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 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.
FILES¶
- /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
- default slapd configuration file
- /etc/passwd
