The pam_ldap module provides the means for workstations to authenticate
|
|
against LDAP directories, and to change their passwords in the directory.
|
|
Key Benefits are:
|
|
|
|
* Uses the Pluggable Authentication Module API defined in OSF DCE RFC 86.0.
|
|
* Can utilize transport layer security (such as SSL or TLS) to encrypt
|
|
transactions between the workstation and the LDAP server and provide
|
|
strongly authenticated sign-on.
|
|
* Shares configuration information with nss_ldap module
|
|
* Supports ypldapd locator for finding LDAP servers
|
|
* Supports Netscape Directory Server's password policies and directory-based
|
|
access authorization.
