H3: back-passwd Configuration
-LATER
+The configuration using {{F: slapd.conf}} a slightly longer, but not much. For
+example:
+
+> include ./schema/core.schema
+>
+> modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap
+> moduleload back_passwd.la
+>
+> database passwd
+> suffix "cn=passwd"
+
+Again, testing this with {{ldapsearch}} would result in something like:
+
+> ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost:9011 -b 'cn=passwd'
+> # extended LDIF
+> #
+> # LDAPv3
+> # base <cn=passwd> with scope subtree
+> # filter: (objectclass=*)
+> # requesting: ALL
+> #
+>
+> # passwd
+> dn: cn=passwd
+> cn: passwd
+> objectClass: organizationalUnit
+>
+> # root, passwd
+> dn: uid=root,cn=passwd
+> objectClass: person
+> objectClass: uidObject
+> uid: root
+> cn: root
+> sn: root
+> description: root
