nss-pam-ldapd, a Name Service Switch (NSS) module and
|
|
|
|
|
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) that allows your
|
|
|
|
|
LDAP server to provide user account, group, host name,
|
|
|
|
|
alias, netgroup, and basically any other information that
|
|
|
|
|
you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS. It also
|
|
|
|
|
allows you to do authentication to an LDAP server.

|
|
|
* lighter NSS library
|
|
|
|
|
* lighter PAM library
|
|
|
|
|
* simpler internal semantics
|

|
|
|
* clear separation between NSS, PAM and LDAP code (the server
|
|
|
|
|
part could easily be implemented in another language)
|

|
|
