However, to be of any use it's necessary to configure the LDAP service that should be queried. The following example configures authentication to Active Directory over LDAPS:

class { 'nslcd':
	ldap_uri         => 'ldaps://my.server.com',
	ldap_base        => 'dc=server,dc=com',
	ldap_binddn      => 'cn=reader,ou=users,dc=server,dc=com',
	ldap_bindpw      => 's3cret',
	ldap_ssl         => true,
	ldap_tls_reqcert => 'never',
	ldap_scope       => 'sub',
	parameters       => {
		'filter passwd'             => '(&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer))(uidNumber=*)(unixHomeDirectory=*))',
		'filter shadow'             => '(&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer))(uidNumber=*)(unixHomeDirectory=*))',
		'filter group'              => '(objectClass=group)',
		'map passwd uid'            => 'sAMAccountName',
		'map passwd uidnumber'      => 'uidNumber',
		'map passwd homedirectory'  => 'unixHomeDirectory',
		'map passwd loginshell'     => 'loginShell',
		'map passwd gecos'          => 'displayName',
		'map shadow uid'            => 'sAMAccountName',
		'map group uniqueMember'    => 'member'
	}
}
