Project Summary

nss-pam-ldapd is 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.

The NSS module is a fork from the nss_ldap software by PADL Software Pty Ltd. The fork was done to implement some structural design changes. These changes were needed because there are some issues with the original design. See the documentation section for more details. The advantages of nss-pam-ldapd are:

* light, simple NSS library
* light, simple PAM library
* simpler internal semantics
* clear separation of NSS,PAM and LDAP code
* better debugging
