libnss-pam-ldapd: retrieve password information from an LDAP user?

[Andrea Sighinolfi <andrea.sighinolfi [at] sitti.it>]

Hi,

I successfully cross-compiled and installed the libnss-pam-ldapd packed. I would like to know if it is possible to read the password from an LDAP user through the glibc function like getpwnam / getspnam. They work for normal local users, but they seems to not work for remote LDAP users.

Reading at your documentation, expecially the Design section (https://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/design), it seems to me it would be possible from an application to retrieve "user" and "password" information from an LDAP server, passing through nslcd service.  Do you confirm that?

Thank you in advance,
Best regards.
