Name

accdb_slane - The SLANE back-end

Description

The SLANE back-end connects to a SLANE daemon (slaned) and queries that.

SLANED already serves two purposes. One is to act like a LDAP/NIS server, providing users for networks. The other is to provide a queued management, which i.e. solves the locking and race-conditions problems in local-file back-end modules, such as the Shadow back-end.

Configuration file

Following keys are recognized in backends/../libaccdb/slane or /etc/libaccdb/slane:

UNIX_CONN is a colon separated list of UNIX sockets which shall be tried to connect to. If a connection is established, no furhter probing is done. UNIX sockets take precedence before TCP sockets.

TCP_CONN is a comma separated list of host[:port] pairs which should be tried. The :port argument is optional, and if omitted, the default port 388 is used.
