disableldaptls - Do not use TLS (Transport Layer Security) lookups in an environment that uses LDAP for authentication. This option allows LDAP to send encrypted user names and passwords to an LDAP server before authentication. enableldaptls - Use TLS (Transport Layer Security) lookups. ldapbasedn= - If you specified either -enableldap or -enableldapauth, use this option to specify the DN in your LDAP directory tree under which user information is stored. ldapserver= - If you specified either -enableldap or -enableldapauth, use this option to specify the name of the LDAP server to use. If your environment does not use TLS (Transport Layer Security), use the -disableldaptls switch to ensure that the resulting configuration file works. You must also specify a server and a base DN with -ldapserver= and -ldapbasedn=.

To use this option, you must have the nss-pam-ldapd package installed.

This enables the pam_ldap module for authentication and changing passwords, using an LDAP directory. enableldapauth - Use LDAP as an authentication method. You must also specify a server and a base DN (distinguished name) with -ldapserver= and -ldapbasedn=. To use this option, you must install the nss-pam-ldapd package. enableldap - Turns on LDAP support in /etc/nf, allowing your system to retrieve information about users (for example, their UIDs, home directories, and shells) from an LDAP directory. useshadow or -enableshadow - Use shadow passwords. nisserver= - Server to use for NIS services (broadcasts by default). nisdomain= - NIS domain name to use for NIS services. A domain should almost always be set by hand with the -nisdomain= option. By default, -enablenis uses whatever domain it finds on the network.
