# Openmediavault LDAP

This plugin connects OMV5 to an OPEN-LDAP Server for centralized user management
and authentification. It adapts the official LDAP plugin [1] for OMV4 to use it
with OMV5.
Basically there aren't any fundamental changes yet. Actually it uses
PAM auth with *libnss-ldapd* as default. I will switch to the *libpam-ldapd*
later on. Maybe we should use PAM auth with SSSD in future.
Basically there aren't any fundamental changes yet. Actually you can use LDAP
for User- and Groupmanagement. Additionally you can activate PAM auth with
*libpam-ldap* system wide via LDAP. The name switch service is done with
*libnss-ldap*. For caching actually the NSCD service is used, maybe we should
SSSD in future. A good explanation of the pam auth and nss process will give
you the reference [4].
This repo is under development. Checkout the master branch for stable
releases. If you encounter some problems make a new issue or write an email
