7 pam_ldaphome

The pam_ldaphome facilitates maintenance of a centralized LDAP user database. It can be installed as a part of authentication or session management stack. When invoked, it creates the user home directory, if it does not already exist, and ensures his .ssh/authorized_keys is in sync with the database.

Apart from common options, this module understands only one implementation-specific option:

config=file

Read configuration from file. Default is pam_ldaphome.conf in sysconfdir.

Actual module configuration is read from the configuration file.
