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 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.
