slapo-pcache – proxy cache overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The pcache overlay to slapd(8) allows caching of LDAP search requests (queries) in a local database. For an incoming query, the proxy cache determines its corresponding template. If the template was specified as cacheable using the pcacheTemplate directive and the request is contained in a…
slapo-pbind – proxy bind overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The pbind overlay to slapd(8) forwards Simple Binds on a local database to a remote LDAP server instead of processing them locally. The remote connection is managed using an instance of the ldap backend. The pbind overlay uses a subset of the ldap backend’s config…
slapo-memberof – Reverse Group Membership overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The memberof overlay to slapd(8) allows automatic reverse group membership maintenance. Any time a group entry is modified, its members are modified as appropriate in order to keep a DN-valued "is member of" attribute updated with the DN of the group. Configuration The config…
slapo-dynlist – Dynamic List overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The dynlist overlay to slapd(8) allows expansion of dynamic groups and more. Any time an entry with a specific objectClass (defined in the overlay configuration) is being returned, the LDAP URI-valued occurrences of a specific attribute (also defined in the overlay configuration) are expanded into…
slapo-dyngroup – Dynamic Group overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The Dynamic Group overlay allows clients to use LDAP Compare operations to test the membership of a dynamic group the same way they would check against a static group. Compare operations targeting a group’s static member attribute will be intercepted and tested against the configured…
slapo-dds – Dynamic Directory Services overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The dds overlay to slapd(8) implements dynamic objects as per RFC 2589. The name dds stands for Dynamic Directory Services. It allows to define dynamic objects, characterized by the dynamicObject objectClass. Dynamic objects have a limited lifetime, determined by a time-to-live (TTL) that can…
slapo-constraint – Attribute Constraint Overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The constraint overlay is used to ensure that attribute values match some constraints beyond basic LDAP syntax. Attributes can have multiple constraints placed upon them, and all must be satisfied when modifying an attribute value under constraint. This overlay is intended to be used to…
slapo-collect – Collective attributes overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The collect overlay is used to provide a relatively coarse implementation of RFC 3671 collective attributes. In X.500, a collective attribute is "a user attribute whose values are the same for each member of an entry collection". Collective attributes are added to entries returned by…
slapo-chain – chain overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The chain overlay to slapd(8) allows automatic referral chasing. Any time a referral is returned (except for bind operations), it is chased by using an instance of the ldap backend. If operations are performed with an identity (i.e. after a bind), that identity can be asserted…
slapo-auditlog – Audit Logging overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf /etc/openldap/slapd.d Description The Audit Logging overlay can be used to record all changes on a given backend database to a specified log file. Changes are logged as standard LDIF, with an additional comment header giving the timestamp of the change and the identity of the user…
slapo-allop – All Operational Attributes overlay Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The All Operational Attributes overlay is designed to allow slapd to interoperate with dumb clients that expect all attributes, including operational ones, to be returned when "*" or an empty attribute list is requested, as opposed to RFC2251 and RFC3673. Configuration These slapd.conf options apply to…
slapo-accesslog – Access Logging overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The Access Logging overlay can be used to record all accesses to a given backend database on another database. This allows all of the activity on a given database to be reviewed using arbitrary LDAP queries, instead of just logging to local flat text files….
slapd.plugin – plugin configuration for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The slapd.conf(5) file contains configuration information for the slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools slapadd(8), slapcat(8), and slapindex(8). The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to slapd as a whole…
slapd.plugin – plugin configuration for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The slapd.conf(5) file contains configuration information for the slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools slapadd(8), slapcat(8), and slapindex(8). The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to slapd as a whole…
slapd.overlays – overlays for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Description The slapd(8) daemon can use a variety of different overlays to alter or extend the normal behavior of a database backend. Overlays may be compiled statically into slapd, or when module support is enabled, they may be dynamically loaded. Most of the overlays are only…
slapd.conf – configuration file for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf contains configuration information for the slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools slapacl(8), slapadd(8), slapauth(8), slapcat(8), slapdn(8), slapindex(8), and slaptest(8). The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to…
slapd.backends – backends for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Description The slapd(8) daemon can use a variety of different backends for serving LDAP requests. Backends may be compiled statically into slapd, or when module support is enabled, they may be dynamically loaded. Multiple instances of a backend can be configured, to serve separate databases from…
slapd.access – access configuration for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The slapd.conf(5) file contains configuration information for the slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools slapacl(8), slapadd(8), slapauth(8), slapcat(8), slapdn(8), slapindex(8), and slaptest(8). The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to…
slapd-sql – SQL backend to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The primary purpose of this slapd(8) backend is to PRESENT information stored in some RDBMS as an LDAP subtree without any programming (some SQL and maybe stored procedures can’t be considered programming, anyway ;). That is, for example, when you (some ISP) have account information you…
slapd-sock – Socket backend/overlay to slapd Synopsis /etc/openldap/slapd.conf Description The Socket backend to slapd(8) uses an external program to handle queries, similarly to slapd-shell(5). However, in this case the external program listens on a Unix domain socket. This makes it possible to have a pool of processes, which persist between requests. This allows multithreaded operation…
