.SH NAME
|
|
slapd-passwd \- /etc/passwd backend to slapd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The PASSWD backend to
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
serves up the user account information listed in the system
|
|
.BR 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.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
This
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B file <filename>
|
|
Specifies an alternate passwd file to use.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.BR /etc/passwd .
|
|
.SH ACCESS CONTROL
|
|
The
|
|
.B passwd
|
|
backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in
|
|
.BR slapd.access (5).
|
|
Only
|
|
.B read (=r)
|
|
access to the
|
|
.B entry
|
|
pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries
|
|
returned by the
|
|
.B search
|
|
operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
