   22 .SH DESCRIPTION
   23 This is a PAM module that uses an
   24 LDAP server to verify user access rights and
   25 credentials.
   26 .SH OPTIONS
   27 .TP 
   28 \*(T<\fBuse_first_pass\fR\*(T> 
   29 Specifies that the PAM module should use the first
   30 password provided in the authentication stack and not prompt the user
   31 for a password.
   32 .TP 
   33 \*(T<\fBtry_first_pass\fR\*(T> 
   34 Specifies that the PAM module should use the first
   35 password provided in the authentication stack and if that fails prompt
   36 the user for a password.
   37 .TP 
   38 \*(T<\fBnullok\fR\*(T> 
   39 Specifying this option allows users to log in with a blank password.
   40 Normally logins without a password are denied.
   41 .TP 
   42 \*(T<\fBignore_unknown_user\fR\*(T> 
   43 Specifies that the PAM module should return
   44 PAM_IGNORE for users that are not present in the LDAP
   45 directory.
   46 This causes the PAM framework to ignore this module.
   47 .TP 
   48 \*(T<\fBignore_authinfo_unavail\fR\*(T> 
   49 Specifies that the PAM module should return
   50 PAM_IGNORE if it cannot contact the LDAP server.
   51 This causes the PAM framework to ignore this module.
   52 .TP 
   53 \*(T<\fBno_warn\fR\*(T> 
   54 Specifies that warning messages should not be propagated to the
   55 PAM application.
   56 .TP 
   57 \*(T<\fBuse_authtok\fR\*(T> 
   58 This causes the PAM module to use the earlier
   59 provided password when changing the password. The module will not
   60 prompt the user for a new password (it is analogous to
   61 \*(T<\fBuse_first_pass\fR\*(T>).
   62 .TP 
   63 \*(T<\fBdebug\fR\*(T> 
   64 This option causes the PAM module to log debugging
   65 information to
   66 \fBsyslog\fR(3).
   67 .TP 
   68 \*(T<\fBminimum_uid=\fR\*(T>\fIUID\fR 
   69 This option causes the PAM module to ignore the user
   70 if the user id is lower than the specified value. This can be used to
   71 bypass LDAP checks for system users
   72 (e.g. by setting it to \*(T<1000\*(T>).
   73 .SH "MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED"
   74 All services are provided by this module but currently sessions changes
   75 are not implemented in the nslcd daemon.
   76 .SH FILES

   78 \*(T<\fI/etc/pam.conf\fR\*(T>
   79 the main PAM configuration file
   80 .TP
