Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-uris Type: string _Description: LDAP server URI: Please enter the Uniform Resource Identifier of the LDAP server. The format is 'ldap://:/'. Alternatively, 'ldaps://' or 'ldapi://' can be used. The port number is optional. . When using an ldap or ldaps scheme it is recommended to use an IP address to avoid failures when domain name services are unavailable. . Multiple URIs can be be specified by separating them with spaces. Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-base Type: string _Description: LDAP server search base: Please enter the distinguished name of the LDAP search base. Many sites use the components of their domain names for this purpose. For example, the domain "example.net" would use "dc=example,dc=net" as the distinguished name of the search base. Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-binddn Type: string _Description: LDAP database user: If the LDAP database requires a login for normal lookups, enter the name of the account that will be used here. Leave it empty otherwise. . This value should be specified as a DN (distinguished name). Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-bindpw Type: password _Description: LDAP user password: Enter the password that will be used to log in to the LDAP database. Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-starttls Type: boolean _Description: Use StartTLS? Please choose whether the connection to the LDAP server should use StartTLS to encrypt the connection. Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-reqcert Type: select __Choices: never, allow, try, demand _Description: Check server's SSL certificate: When an encrypted connection is used, a server certificate can be requested and checked. Please choose whether lookups should be configured to require a certificate, and whether certificates should be checked for validity: * never: no certificate will be requested or checked; * allow: a certificate will be requested, but it is not required or checked; * try: a certificate will be requested and checked, but if no certificate is provided it is ignored; * demand: a certificate will be requested, required, and checked. If certificate checking is enabled, at least one of the tls_cacertdir or tls_cacertfile options must be put in /etc/nss-ldapd.conf. Template: libnss-ldapd/nsswitch Type: multiselect Choices: aliases, ethers, group, hosts, netgroup, networks, passwd, protocols, rpc, services, shadow _Description: Name services to configure: For this package to work, you need to modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf to use the ldap datasource. . You can select the services that should have LDAP lookups enabled. The new LDAP lookups will be added as the last datasource. Be sure to review these changes. Template: libnss-ldapd/clean_nsswitch Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Remove LDAP from nsswitch.conf now? The following services are still configured to use LDAP for lookups: ${services} but the libnss-ldapd package is about to be removed. . You are advised to remove the entries if you don't plan on using LDAP for name resolution any more. Not removing ldap from nsswitch.conf should, for most services, not cause problems, but host name resolution could be affected in subtle ways. . You can edit /etc/nsswitch.conf by hand or choose to remove the entries automatically now. Be sure to review the changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf if you choose to remove the entries now.
