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. +.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. + +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.TP +/etc/passwd +user account information +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd (8), +.BR passwd (5). |
