SLAPD-PASSWD(5)           FILE FORMATS            SLAPD-PASSWD(5)

NAME

     slapd-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 back-
     end 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  data-
     base.   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.
