<title>Description</title>
<para>
This is a <acronym>PAM</acronym> module that uses an
<acronym>LDAP</acronym> server to verify user access rights and
credentials.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="options">
<title>Options</title>
<variablelist remap="TP">
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>use_first_pass</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies that the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module should use the first
password provided in the authentication stack and not prompt the user
for a password.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>try_first_pass</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies that the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module should use the first
password provided in the authentication stack and if that fails prompt
the user for a password.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>nullok</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifying this option allows users to log in with a blank password.
Normally logins without a password are denied.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>ignore_unknown_user</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies that the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module should return
PAM_IGNORE for users that are not present in the <acronym>LDAP</acronym>
directory.
This causes the <acronym>PAM</acronym> framework to ignore this module.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>ignore_authinfo_unavail</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies that the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module should return
PAM_IGNORE if it cannot contact the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> server.
This causes the <acronym>PAM</acronym> framework to ignore this module.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>no_warn</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies that warning messages should not be propagated to the
<acronym>PAM</acronym> application.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>use_authtok</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This causes the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module to use the earlier
provided password when changing the password. The module will not
prompt the user for a new password (it is analogous to
<option>use_first_pass</option>).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>debug</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This option causes the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module to log debugging
information to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<option>minimum_uid=<replaceable>UID</replaceable></option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This option causes the <acronym>PAM</acronym> module to ignore the user
if the user id is lower than the specified value. This can be used to
bypass <acronym>LDAP</acronym> checks for system users
(e.g. by setting it to <literal>1000</literal>).
