.Sh NAME
.Nm nss_tacplus
.Nd TACACS+ nsswitch module
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Ic passwd : files tacplus
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
module is a loadable NSS module which provides a minimal identity
service using a TACACS+ backend.
.Pp
Due to the limitations of the TACACS+ protocol, the functionality
provided by the
.Nm
module is very limited: it can look up a user by name, but not by uid,
and it cannot enumerate users.
.Pp
To look up a user, the
.Nm
module submits an authorization request with authentication method
.Dv TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_METH_NOT_SET ,
authentication type
.Dv TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_TYPE_NOT_SET ,
and authentication service
.Dv TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_LOGIN ,
for the
.Dq shell
service.
If the response status is either
.Dv TAC_PLUS_AUTHOR_STATUS_PASS_ADD
or
.Dv TAC_PLUS_AUTHOR_STATUS_PASS_REPL ,
the user is considered to exist and the
.Nm
module fills out a
.Vt struct passwd
for it.
.Pp
The following attributes, if included in the response from the TACACS+
server, are used to construct the response:
.Bl -tag -width GECOS
.It Va UID
Numeric user ID.
Must be between 0 and
.Dv UID_MAX .
Defaults to 65534.
.It Va GID
Numeric primary group ID.
Must be between 0 and
.Dv GID_MAX .
Defaults to 65534.
.It Va CLASS
Login class.
Left blank if not provided.
.It Va GECOS
Display name.
If not provided, the user name is used instead.
.It Va HOME
Home directory.
Defaults to
.Pa / .
.It Va SHELL
Shell.
Defaults to
.Pa /bin/sh .
.El
.Pp
Case is ignored when matching attribute names.
If an attribute is included multiple times, the last value takes
effect.
