SLAPD-PASSWD(5)						       SLAPD-PASSWD(5)

NAME
       slapd-passwd - /etc/passwd backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/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=<user‐
       name>,<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	subse‐
       quent  "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/openldap/slapd.conf
	      default slapd configuration file

       /etc/passwd
	      user account information
