If one or more key arguments are provided, then only the entries that match the supplied keys will be checked.

Note: The ``getent --database=passwd`` command lists only local users, not all available users. To check the availability of a FreeIPA or an Active Directory (AD) connected via ``sssd``, add the name of a known network account to test if network users are resolved correctly. For example, ``getent --database=passwd -key=ldapuser``.
Note: Calling the plugin with ``getent --database=passwd`` lists only local users, not users on an Directory server. To check the availability of a FreeIPA or an Active Directory (AD) connected via ``sssd``, add the name of a known network account to test if network users are resolved correctly. For example, ``getent --database=passwd --key=<ldapuser>``.

For details have a look at ``man getent``.
