It also provides a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) to do authentication to an LDAP server. This is implemented using thin NSS and PAM modules which delegate to a dedicated service (nslcd) that queries the LDAP server with persistent connections, authentication, attribute translation, etc. </longdescription> </pkgmetadata>
