libnss_ldap.so is not be available as part of glibc-alpine-package

[vara424]

Retrieve ldap user info using alpine system call <getent passwd > with below nsswitch.conf.

musl-nscd process needs ibnss_ldap.so object to connect to ldap database. During musl-nscd process starts, facing below issue. writev(2, [{iov_base="libnss_ldap.so: ", iov_len=16}, {iov_base="Error loading shared library lib"..., iov_len=70}], 2libnss_ldap.so: Error loading shared library libnss_ldap.so: No such file or directory) = 86

Usually in linux distributions, we see both pam_ldap.so and libnss_ldap.so objects..but unfortunately on alpine couldn't find libnss_ldap.so object...Could you please let us know on which package we do find this object. libnss_ldap.so is required during "getent passwd "..below are /etc/nsswitch.conf content passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap

Do we need to include libnss_ldap.so as part of glibc-alpine-package?..

bash-5.0# nscd -d -p /var/run/nscd/nscd.pid nscd: libnss_files.so: Error relocating /usr/glibc-compat/lib/libnss_files.so: __libc_alloc_buffer_alloc_array: symbol not found

Above issue is related musl libc and glibc comapatible...Is there any way tto solve above issue?..

Hi there. The ncsd executable which you're trying to run isn't part of the glibc package. You'll need to find all of the library files, like libnss_ldap.so, which it expects to be present at runtime. I am unable to help you with this debugging process.

Sorry that I can't be of more help, but this package was created as a convenience method. It's still provided as such. The caveat is that you will need advanced knowledge of the program you're trying to run in order to do so.
