Summary: NSS module for name lookups using LDAP
Description:
This is a fork of the nss_ldap package by PADL Software Pty
Ltd.. This fork was done to implement some structural design
changes. These changes were needed because there are some issues
with the original design. See documentation for more details.
These problems are solved by splitting the library in two parts:
a daemon that connects to the LDAP server and does all the
requests and a thin NSS connector that passes requests to the
daemon through a socket. The nss-ldapd implementation has a
number of advantages:
* lighter NSS library
* simpler internal semantics
* clear separation between NSS and LDAP code (the server part
could easily be implemented in another language)
* less connections to the LDAP server
The fork is also a major code overhaul having a number
of simplifications and removal of old compatibility code.
Compatibility will be re-added with later releases of nss-ldapd
for those platforms that need it.
