12 The PASSWD backend to slapd(8) serves up the user account information
13 listed in the system passwd(5) file. This backend is provided for
14 demonstration purposes only. The DN of each entry is "uid=<user‐
15 name>,<suffix>". Note that non-base searches scan the entire passwd
16 file, and are best suited for hosts with small passwd files.
17
19 This slapd.conf option applies to the PASSWD backend database. That
20 is, it must follow a "database passwd" line and come before any subse‐
21 quent "backend" or "database" lines. Other database options are de‐
22 scribed in the slapd.conf(5) manual page.
23
24 file <filename>
25 Specifies an alternate passwd file to use. The default is
26 /etc/passwd.
27
29 The passwd backend does not honor any of the access control semantics
30 described in slapd.access(5). Only read (=r) access to the entry
31 pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries re‐
32 turned by the search operation is honored, which is performed by the
33 frontend.
