slapd-passwd(5)

     SLAPD-PASSWD(5)          OpenLDAP 2.1.12          SLAPD-PASSWD(5)

     NAME
          slapd-passwd - /etc/passwd backend to slapd

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

     DESCRIPTION
          The PASSWD backend to slapd(8) serves up the user account
          information listed in the system passwd(5) file.  The DN of
          each entry is "uid=<username>,<suffix>".  Note that non-base
          searches scan the the entire passwd file, and are best
          suited for hosts with small passwd files.

     CONFIGURATION
          This slapd.conf option applies to the PASSWD backend
          database.  That is, it must follow a "database passwd" line
          and come before any subsequent "backend" or "database"
          lines.  Other database options are described in the
          slapd.conf(5) manual page.

          file <filename>
               Specifies an alternate passwd file to use.  The default
               is /etc/passwd.
