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 alows you to do
|
|
authentication to an LDAP server.
|
|
|
|
Key differences from nss_ldap:
|
|
* 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)
|
|
* less connections to the LDAP server
