Hi Arthur,

I was testing your fix, when doing here are couple of observations :

1) The documentation shows pam_authc_search FILTER where it says NONE(No search) and BASE (to force default check) are attributes to be used.


2) Soon after the update of rpm to latest (without adding "pam_authc_search" entry to nslcd.conf) the authentication of those user (without read access for self) also started to work. Question: Is this the default behaviour now, what would it happen if pam_authc_serach is not specified in the nslcd.conf?


3) I added pam_authc_search to nslcd.conf and set the value to BASE again it was same behaviour (I was expecting that it would fail because the user cannot search/read its own record, and the "(objectClass=*)" filter is applied).



Below is the extract of nslcd.conf :

filter passwd (objectclass=user)
#pam_authz_search
pam_authc_search BASE

Since this has come up a few times now, I've scraped the various bits
together and pushed some changes to master to make the search
configurable.

The change introduces a pam_authc_search option that you can use to
configure a custom search or you can set it to NONE to disable the
search altogether.

Testing of this is welcome!
