Overrides the definition of .Ar macro in the configuration file. .It Fl d Do not daemonize and log to .Em stderr . .It Fl f Ar file Use .Ar file as the configuration file, instead of the default .Pa /etc/ldapd.conf . .It Fl n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity. .It Fl s Ar file Specify an alternative location for the socket file. .It Fl v Produce more verbose output. A second .Fl v together with the .Fl d flag produces debug traces of decoded BER messages on stderr. .El .Sh AUTHENTICATION .Nm can authenticate users via simple binds or SASL with the PLAIN mechanism. .Pp When using simple binds, the bind DN entry must exist in a namespace and have a .Ic userPassword attribute. The following formats of the .Ic userPassword attribute are recognized: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic {SHA}digest Verify the password against the SHA-1 digest. .It Ic {SSHA}digest Verify the password against the salted SHA-1 digest. .It Ic {CRYPT}hash Verify the password against the .Xr crypt 3 hash. .It Ic {BSDAUTH}username Use .Bx Authentication with the given username and authentication style .Dq auth-ldap . This is similar to using SASL PLAIN authentication with .Ar username as the authentication ID. .It Ic {BSDAUTH}username#class Same as above, but overrides the login class. .El .Pp Without a prefix, the .Ic userPassword attribute is compared literally with the provided plain text password. .Pp When using SASL binds, the authentication ID should be a valid username for .Bx Authentication. .Pp For plain text passwords to be accepted, the connection must be considered secure, either by using an encrypted connection, or by using the .Ic secure keyword in the configuration file. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/var/run/ldapd.sockXXXXXXX" -compact .It Pa /etc/ldapd.conf default .Nm configuration file .It Pa /var/run/ldapd.sock default .Nm control socket .It Pa /var/db/ldap/*.db .Nm database files .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ldapd.conf 5 , .Xr login.conf 5 , .Xr ldapctl 8 .Sh STANDARDS .Rs .%A J.
