Branch: pkgsrc-2021Q4, Version: 186nb7, Package name: pam-ldap-186nb7, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The pam_ldap module provides the means for workstations to authenticate
against LDAP directories, and to change their passwords in the directory.
Key Benefits are:

* Uses the Pluggable Authentication Module API defined in OSF DCE RFC 86.0.
* Can utilize transport layer security (such as SSL or TLS) to encrypt
transactions between the workstation and the LDAP server and provide
strongly authenticated sign-on.
* Shares configuration information with nss_ldap module
* Supports ypldapd locator for finding LDAP servers
* Supports Netscape Directory Server's password policies and directory-based
access authorization.
