Overview

This module installs and configures NSLCD (local LDAP name service daemon)

NSLCD is used to provide access to identity and authentication remote resource through a common framework.

Usage

Example configuration:

class {'::nslcd':
  config => {
    'uid'    => 'nslcd',
    'gid'    => 'ldap',
    'uri'    => 'ldap://ldap.example.com',
    'base'   => 'dc=test,dc=local',
    'scope   => 'one',
  }
}

...or the same config in Hiera:

nslcd::config:
    'uid': 'nslcd'
    'gid': 'ldap'
    'uri': 'ldap://ldap.example.com'
    'base': 'dc=test,dc=local'
    'scope': 'one'

Will be represented in nslcd.conf like this:

uid nslcd
gid ldap
uri ldap://ldap.example.com
base dc=test,dc=local
scope one
