## Overview
This module installs and configured nslcd to get pam/nss data from ldap.
## Module Description
This module allows you to install and configure the nslcd daemon (and its dependencies), to provide ldap support for
PAM and NSS.
## Setup
### What nslcd affects
* `nslcd` package and service
* `/etc/nslcd.conf`
## Usage
Simply include/contain/required/declare the nslcd class.
It includes a few sane defaults, so it should work out of the box.
However, we recommend that you declare the class and override a few parameters:
```
class { 'nslcd':
ldap_uris => ['ldap://ldap.mycompany.com'],
ldap_ssl => 'on',
}
```
## Reference
*todo*
## Limitations
The module has been tested with Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, Debian 6 and 7, and Puppet 3.7.
It should work Puppet 3.x.
For additional OS support, you should contribute it back upstream!
The module doesn't support setting the `rootbinddn` and `rootbindpw` attributes, but it can be easily added.
## Development
