Description

User, group, and host identity data can be resolved from LDAP directories through an NSS module. This helps Linux and Solaris workstations participate in centrally managed RFC 2307 directory environments.

Directory lookup configuration affects login, permissions, and identity resolution. Use trusted LDAP servers, protect credentials, and test fallback access before deploying broadly.
