<samba:parameter name="passdb backend"
context="G"
type="list"
advanced="1" developer="1"
xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>This option allows the administrator to chose which backends
to retrieve and store passwords with. This allows (for example) both
smbpasswd and tdbsam to be used without a recompile. Multiple
backends can be specified, separated by spaces. The backends will be
searched in the order they are specified. New users are always added
to the first backend specified. </para>
<para>This parameter is in two parts, the backend's name, and a 'location'
string that has meaning only to that particular backed. These are separated
by a : character.</para>
<para>Available backends can include:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><command moreinfo="none">smbpasswd</command> - The default smbpasswd
backend. Takes a path to the smbpasswd file as an optional argument.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command moreinfo="none">tdbsam</command> - The TDB based password storage
backend. Takes a path to the TDB as an optional argument (defaults to passdb.tdb
in the <link linkend="PRIVATEDIR">
<parameter moreinfo="none">private dir</parameter></link> directory.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command moreinfo="none">ldapsam</command> - The LDAP based passdb
backend. Takes an LDAP URL as an optional argument (defaults to
<command moreinfo="none">ldap://localhost</command>)</para>
<para>LDAP connections should be secured where possible. This may be done using either
Start-TLS (see <link linkend="LDAPSSL"><parameter moreinfo="none">ldap ssl</parameter></link>) or by
specifying <parameter moreinfo="none">ldaps://</parameter> in
the URL argument. </para>
<para>Multiple servers may also be specified in double-quotes, if your
LDAP libraries supports the LDAP URL notation.
(OpenLDAP does).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command moreinfo="none">nisplussam</command> -
The NIS+ based passdb backend. Takes name NIS domain as
an optional argument. Only works with sun NIS+ servers.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command moreinfo="none">mysql</command> -

argument. Read the Samba HOWTO Collection for configuration
details.

</itemizedlist>
</para>
Examples of use are:
<screen>
passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb \
smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
or
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.example.com
or
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap-1.example.com \
