SLAPD-PASSWD(5)SLAPD-PASSWD(5)NAMEslapd-passwd - /etc/passwd backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/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.
