Checklist

Check if there is already an example config for it.
Try to figure out the configuration values for the new service yourself.
- You can use other example configs for inspiration.
- If you're having trouble, you can ask on Discord or create an issue.
- If you succeed, make sure to contribute an example configuration, or a configuration guide.
If you hit a block because of an unimplemented feature, create an issue.

Description of the service
I'm using nslcd on a Raspberry pi 3 to try and configure LDAP. Using an entry in the hosts file to point to the docker IP Address.

What you've tried

# The user and group nslcd should run as.
uid nslcd
gid nslcd

# The location at which the LDAP server(s) should be reachable.
uri ldap://ldap.******.uk:3890/.

# The search base that will be used for all queries.
base dc=*******,dc=uk

# The LDAP protocol version to use.
#ldap_version 3

# The DN to bind with for normal lookups.
binddn uid=rpi,ou=people,dc=*******,dc=uk
bindpw *********

What's not working
Error logs, error screenshots, features that are not working, missing features.

Hi!
Have you checked the pam authentication guide? I think it should cover most of the bases.

oh my god thank you so much for this I didn't see this. i think this should be able to fix it as it seems to contain the custom properties it was lacking.
