6 slapd-config \- configuration backend
12 backend manages all of the configuration information for the
14 daemon. This configuration information is also used by the SLAPD tools
26 backend is backward compatible with the older
28 file but provides the ability to change the configuration dynamically
29 at runtime. If slapd is run with only a
31 file dynamic changes will be allowed but they will not persist across
32 a server restart. Dynamic changes are only saved when slapd is running
35 configuration directory.
38 Unlike other backends, there can only be one instance of the
40 backend, and most of its structure is predefined. The root of the
41 database is hardcoded to
43 and this root entry contains
44 global settings for slapd. Multiple child entries underneath the
45 root entry are used to carry various other settings:
49 dynamically loaded modules
55 backend-specific settings
58 database-specific settings
63 entries will only appear in configurations where slapd
64 was built with support for dynamically loaded modules. There can be
65 multiple entries, one for each configured module path. Within each
66 entry there will be values recorded for each module loaded on a
67 given path. These entries have no children.
71 entry contains all of the hardcoded schema elements.
72 The children of this entry contain all user-defined schema elements.
73 In schema that were loaded from include files, the child entry will
74 be named after the include file from which the schema was loaded.
75 Typically the first child in this subtree will be
76 .BR cn=core,cn=schema,cn=config .
79 entries are for storing settings specific to a single
80 backend type (and thus global to all database instances of that type).
81 At present there are no backends that implement settings of this
82 nature, so usually there will not be any olcBackend entries.
85 entries store settings specific to a single database
86 instance. These entries may have
88 child entries corresponding
89 to any overlays configured on the database. The olcDatabase and
90 olcOverlay entries may also have miscellaneous child entries for
91 other settings as needed. There are two special database entries
92 that are predefined - one is an entry for the config database itself,
93 and the other is for the "frontend" database. Settings in the
94 frontend database are inherited by the other databases, unless
95 they are explicitly overridden in a specific database.
97 The specific configuration options available are discussed below in the
98 Global Configuration Options, General Backend Options, and General Database
99 Options. Options are set by defining LDAP attributes with specific values.
100 In general the names of the LDAP attributes are the same as the corresponding
102 keyword, with an "olc" prefix added on.
104 The parser for many of these attributes is the same as used for parsing
105 the slapd.conf keywords. As such, slapd.conf keywords that allow multiple
106 items to be specified on one line, separated by whitespace, will allow
107 multiple items to be specified in one attribute value. However, when
108 reading the attribute via LDAP, the items will be returned as individual
111 Backend-specific options are discussed in the
112 .B slapd-<backend>(5)
113 manual pages. Refer to the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more
114 details on configuring slapd.
115 .SH GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
116 Options described in this section apply to the server as a whole.
117 Arguments that should be replaced by
118 actual text are shown in brackets <>.
120 These options may only be specified in the
122 entry. This entry must have an objectClass of
126 .B olcAllows: <features>
127 Specify a set of features to allow (default none).
129 allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests. Note that
131 does not truly implement LDAPv2 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494).
133 allows anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g.
136 allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty.
138 allows unauthenticated (anonymous) update operations to be processed
139 (subject to access controls and other administrative limits).
141 allows unauthenticated (anonymous) proxy authorization control to be processed
142 (subject to access controls, authorization and other administrative limits).
144 .B olcArgsFile: <filename>
145 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the
147 server's command line options
148 if started without the debugging command line option.
150 .B olcAttributeOptions: <option-name>...
151 Define tagging attribute options or option tag/range prefixes.
152 Options must not end with `-', prefixes must end with `-'.
153 The `lang-' prefix is predefined.
155 .B olcAttributeOptions
156 directive, `lang-' will no longer be defined and you must specify it
157 explicitly if you want it defined.
159 An attribute description with a tagging option is a subtype of that
160 attribute description without the option.
161 Except for that, options defined this way have no special semantics.
162 Prefixes defined this way work like the `lang-' options:
163 They define a prefix for tagging options starting with the prefix.
164 That is, if you define the prefix `x-foo-', you can use the option
166 Furthermore, in a search or compare, a prefix or range name (with
167 a trailing `-') matches all options starting with that name, as well
168 as the option with the range name sans the trailing `-'.
169 That is, `x-foo-bar-' matches `x-foo-bar' and `x-foo-bar-baz'.
171 RFC 4520 reserves options beginning with `x-' for private experiments.
172 Other options should be registered with IANA, see RFC 4520 section 3.5.
173 OpenLDAP also has the `binary' option built in, but this is a transfer
174 option, not a tagging option.
176 .B olcAuthzPolicy: <policy>
177 Used to specify which rules to use for Proxy Authorization. Proxy
178 authorization allows a client to authenticate to the server using one
179 user's credentials, but specify a different identity to use for authorization
180 and access control purposes. It essentially allows user A to login as user
181 B, using user A's password.
184 flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting.
187 flag will use rules in the
189 attribute of the authorization DN.
192 flag will use rules in the
194 attribute of the authentication DN.
197 flag, an alias for the deprecated value of
199 will allow any of the above, whatever succeeds first (checked in
205 flag requires both authorizations to succeed.
208 The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed
209 to perform proxy authorization.
212 attribute in an entry specifies which other users
213 are allowed to proxy login to this entry. The
216 an entry specifies which other users this user can authorize as. Use of
219 abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute.
222 attribute must be protected with ACLs such that
223 only privileged users can modify it.
230 or a set of identities; it can take five forms:
233 .B ldap:///<base>??[<scope>]?<filter>
236 .B dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern>
239 .B u[<mech>[<realm>]]:<pattern>
242 .B group[/objectClass[/attributeType]]:<pattern>
249 .B <dnstyle>:={exact|onelevel|children|subtree|regex}
252 The first form is a valid LDAP
260 portions must be absent, so that the search occurs locally on either
266 with the optional style modifiers
272 for exact, onelevel, children and subtree matches, which cause
274 to be normalized according to the DN normalization rules, or the special
276 style, which causes the
278 to be treated as a POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, as
285 means any non-anonymous DN.
286 The third form is a SASL
288 with the optional fields
292 that allow to specify a SASL
294 and eventually a SASL
296 for those mechanisms that support one.
297 The need to allow the specification of a mechanism is still debated,
298 and users are strongly discouraged to rely on this possibility.
299 The fourth form is a group specification, consisting of the keyword
301 optionally followed by the specification of the group
307 is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the values of the
310 are searched for the asserted DN.
311 For backwards compatibility, if no identity type is provided, i.e. only
315 is assumed; as a consequence,
317 is subjected to DN normalization.
318 Since the interpretation of
322 can impact security, users are strongly encouraged
323 to explicitly set the type of identity specification that is being used.
324 A subset of these rules can be used as third arg in the
326 statement (see below); significantly, the
333 .B olcAuthzRegexp: <match> <replace>
334 Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names,
335 such as provided by SASL subsystem, to an LDAP DN used for
336 authorization purposes. Note that the resultant DN need not refer
337 to an existing entry to be considered valid. When an authorization
338 request is received from the SASL subsystem, the SASL
343 are taken, when available, and combined into a name of the form
347 .B UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth
350 This name is then compared against the
352 POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, and if the match is successful,
353 the name is replaced with the
355 string. If there are wildcard strings in the
357 regular expression that are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.
363 then the portion of the name that matched the wildcard will be stored
364 in the numbered placeholder variable $1. If there are other wildcard strings
365 in parenthesis, the matching strings will be in $2, $3, etc. up to $9. The
366 placeholders can then be used in the
371 .B UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com
374 The replaced name can be either a DN, i.e. a string prefixed by "dn:",
376 If the latter, the server will use the URI to search its own database(s)
377 and, if the search returns exactly one entry, the name is
378 replaced by the DN of that entry. The LDAP URI must have no
379 hostport, attrs, or extensions components, but the filter is mandatory,
383 .B ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1)
386 The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly
388 Note that this search is subject to access controls. Specifically,
389 the authentication identity must have "auth" access in the subject.
393 values can be specified to allow for multiple matching
394 and replacement patterns. The matching patterns are checked in the order they
395 appear in the attribute, stopping at the first successful match.
398 .\"Because the plus sign + is a character recognized by the regular expression engine,
399 .\"and it will appear in names that include a REALM, be careful to escape the
400 .\"plus sign with a backslash \\+ to remove the character's special meaning.
403 .B olcConcurrency: <integer>
404 Specify a desired level of concurrency. Provided to the underlying
405 thread system as a hint. The default is not to provide any hint. This setting
406 is only meaningful on some platforms where there is not a one to one
407 correspondence between user threads and kernel threads.
409 .B olcConnMaxPending: <integer>
410 Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an anonymous session.
411 If requests are submitted faster than the server can process them, they
412 will be queued up to this limit. If the limit is exceeded, the session
413 is closed. The default is 100.
415 .B olcConnMaxPendingAuth: <integer>
416 Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an authenticated session.
419 .B olcDisallows: <features>
420 Specify a set of features to disallow (default none).
422 disables acceptance of anonymous bind requests. Note that this setting
423 does not prohibit anonymous directory access (See "require authc").
425 disables simple (bind) authentication.
427 disables forcing session to anonymous status (see also
429 upon StartTLS operation receipt.
431 disallows the StartTLS operation if authenticated (see also
434 .B olcGentleHUP: { TRUE | FALSE }
435 A SIGHUP signal will only cause a 'gentle' shutdown-attempt:
437 will stop listening for new connections, but will not close the
438 connections to the current clients. Future write operations return
439 unwilling-to-perform, though. Slapd terminates when all clients
440 have closed their connections (if they ever do), or \- as before \-
441 if it receives a SIGTERM signal. This can be useful if you wish to
442 terminate the server and start a new
445 .B with another database,
446 without disrupting the currently active clients.
447 The default is FALSE. You may wish to use
449 along with this option.
451 .B olcIdleTimeout: <integer>
452 Specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly closing
453 an idle client connection. A setting of 0 disables this
454 feature. The default is 0.
456 .B olcIndexSubstrIfMaxlen: <integer>
457 Specify the maximum length for subinitial and subfinal indices. Only
458 this many characters of an attribute value will be processed by the
459 indexing functions; any excess characters are ignored. The default is 4.
461 .B olcIndexSubstrIfMinlen: <integer>
462 Specify the minimum length for subinitial and subfinal indices. An
463 attribute value must have at least this many characters in order to be
464 processed by the indexing functions. The default is 2.
466 .B olcIndexSubstrAnyLen: <integer>
467 Specify the length used for subany indices. An attribute value must have
468 at least this many characters in order to be processed. Attribute values
469 longer than this length will be processed in segments of this length. The
470 default is 4. The subany index will also be used in subinitial and
471 subfinal index lookups when the filter string is longer than the
472 .I olcIndexSubstrIfMaxlen
475 .B olcIndexSubstrAnyStep: <integer>
476 Specify the steps used in subany index lookups. This value sets the offset
477 for the segments of a filter string that are processed for a subany index
478 lookup. The default is 2. For example, with the default values, a search
479 using this filter "cn=*abcdefgh*" would generate index lookups for
480 "abcd", "cdef", and "efgh".
483 .B olcLocalSSF: <SSF>
484 Specifies the Security Strength Factor (SSF) to be given local LDAP sessions,
485 such as those to the ldapi:// listener. For a description of SSF values,
487 .BR olcSaslSecProps 's
489 option description. The default is 71.
491 .B olcLogLevel: <integer> [...]
492 Specify the level at which debugging statements and operation
493 statistics should be syslogged (currently logged to the
495 LOG_LOCAL4 facility).
496 They must be considered subsystems rather than increasingly verbose
498 Some messages with higher priority are logged regardless
499 of the configured loglevel as soon as some logging is configured,
500 otherwise anything is logged at all.
501 Log levels are additive, and available levels are:
512 debug packet handling
516 heavy trace debugging (function args)
520 connection management
524 print out packets sent and received
528 search filter processing
532 configuration file processing
536 access control list processing
540 stats log connections/operations/results
544 stats log entries sent
548 print communication with shell backends
560 \"data indexing (unused)
568 only messages that get logged whatever log level is set
571 The desired log level can be input as a single integer that combines
572 the (ORed) desired levels, both in decimal or in hexadecimal notation,
573 as a list of integers (that are ORed internally),
574 or as a list of the names that are shown between brackets, such that
580 olcLogLevel: 0x80 0x1
581 olcLogLevel: acl trace
587 can be used as a shortcut to enable logging at all levels (equivalent to -1).
590 or the equivalent integer representation, causes those messages
591 that are logged regardless of the configured olcLogLevel to be logged.
592 In fact, if no olcLogLevel (or a 0 level) is defined, no logging occurs,
595 level is required to have high priority messages logged.
598 .B olcPasswordCryptSaltFormat: <format>
599 Specify the format of the salt passed to
601 when generating {CRYPT} passwords (see
602 .BR olcPasswordHash )
603 during processing of LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations (RFC 3062).
605 This string needs to be in
607 format and may include one (and only one) %s conversion.
608 This conversion will be substituted with a string of random
609 characters from [A\-Za\-z0\-9./]. For example, "%.2s"
610 provides a two character salt and "$1$%.8s" tells some
611 versions of crypt(3) to use an MD5 algorithm and provides
612 8 random characters of salt. The default is "%s", which
613 provides 31 characters of salt.
615 .B olcPasswordHash: <hash> [<hash>...]
616 This option configures one or more hashes to be used in generation of user
617 passwords stored in the userPassword attribute during processing of
618 LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations (RFC 3062).
619 The <hash> must be one of
633 use the SHA-1 algorithm (FIPS 160-1), the latter with a seed.
638 use the MD5 algorithm (RFC 1321), the latter with a seed.
645 indicates that the new password should be
646 added to userPassword as clear text.
648 Note that this option does not alter the normal user applications
649 handling of userPassword during LDAP Add, Modify, or other LDAP operations.
651 .B olcPidFile: <filename>
652 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the
654 server's process ID ( see
656 ) if started without the debugging command line option.
658 .B olcPluginLogFile: <filename>
659 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will contain log
666 .B olcReferral: <url>
667 Specify the referral to pass back when
669 cannot find a local database to handle a request.

682 .\"instance that handles that replication log.
684 .\".B replica-pidfile
685 .\"The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the
687 .\"server's process ID ( see
689 .\") if started without the debugging command line option.

694 .\"instance that handles that replication log.
696 .\".B replicationinterval
697 .\"The number of seconds
699 .\"waits before checking the replogfile for changes.
700 .\"If it appears after a
702 .\"directive, the replication interval is specific to the
704 .\"instance that handles that replication log.
706 .B olcReverseLookup: TRUE | FALSE
707 Enable/disable client name unverified reverse lookup (default is
709 if compiled with --enable-rlookups).
711 .B olcRootDSE: <file>
712 Specify the name of an LDIF(5) file containing user defined attributes
713 for the root DSE. These attributes are returned in addition to the
714 attributes normally produced by slapd.
716 .B olcSaslHost: <fqdn>
717 Used to specify the fully qualified domain name used for SASL processing.
719 .B olcSaslRealm: <realm>
720 Specify SASL realm. Default is empty.
722 .B olcSaslSecProps: <properties>
723 Used to specify Cyrus SASL security properties.
726 flag (without any other properties) causes the flag properties
727 default, "noanonymous,noplain", to be cleared.
730 flag disables mechanisms susceptible to simple passive attacks.
733 flag disables mechanisms susceptible to active attacks.
736 flag disables mechanisms susceptible to passive dictionary attacks.
739 flag disables mechanisms which support anonymous login.
742 flag require forward secrecy between sessions.
745 require mechanisms which pass client credentials (and allow
746 mechanisms which can pass credentials to do so).
749 property specifies the minimum acceptable
750 .I security strength factor
751 as an integer approximate to effective key length used for
752 encryption. 0 (zero) implies no protection, 1 implies integrity
753 protection only, 56 allows DES or other weak ciphers, 112
754 allows triple DES and other strong ciphers, 128 allows RC4,
755 Blowfish and other modern strong ciphers. The default is 0.
758 property specifies the maximum acceptable
759 .I security strength factor
760 as an integer (see minssf description). The default is INT_MAX.
763 property specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer
764 size allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536.
766 .B olcServerID: <integer> [<URL>]
767 Specify an integer ID from 0 to 4095 for this server. These IDs are
768 required when using multimaster replication and each master must have a
769 unique ID. If the URL is provided, this directive may be specified
770 multiple times, providing a complete list of participating servers
771 and their IDs. The fully qualified hostname of each server should be
772 used in the supplied URLs. The IDs are used in the "replica id" field
773 of all CSNs generated by the specified server. The default value is zero.
777 olcServerID: 1 ldap://ldap1.example.com
778 olcServerID: 2 ldap://ldap2.example.com

791 The default is 16; the minimum value is 2.
793 .B olcToolThreads: <integer>
794 Specify the maximum number of threads to use in tool mode.
795 This should not be greater than the number of CPUs in the system.
797 .\"ucdata-path is obsolete / ignored...
799 .\".B ucdata-path <path>
800 .\"Specify the path to the directory containing the Unicode character
801 .\"tables. The default path is DATADIR/ucdata.
805 is built with support for Transport Layer Security, there are more options
808 .B olcTLSCipherSuite: <cipher-suite-spec>
809 Permits configuring what ciphers will be accepted and the preference order.
810 <cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher specification for OpenSSL. Example:
812 olcTLSCipherSuite: HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2
814 To check what ciphers a given spec selects, use:
816 openssl ciphers -v <cipher-suite-spec>
818 .B olcTLSCACertificateFile: <filename>
819 Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the Certificate
824 .B olcTLSCACertificatePath: <path>
825 Specifies the path of a directory that contains Certificate Authority
826 certificates in separate individual files. Usually only one of this
827 or the olcTLSCACertificateFile is defined. If both are specified, both
828 locations will be used.
830 .B olcTLSCertificateFile: <filename>
831 Specifies the file that contains the
835 .B olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: <filename>
836 Specifies the file that contains the
838 server private key that matches the certificate stored in the
839 .B olcTLSCertificateFile
840 file. If the private key is protected with a password, the password must
841 be manually typed in when slapd starts. Usually the private key is not
842 protected with a password, to allow slapd to start without manual
844 it is of critical importance that the file is protected carefully.
846 .B olcTLSDHParamFile: <filename>
847 This directive specifies the file that contains parameters for Diffie-Hellman
848 ephemeral key exchange. This is required in order to use a DSA certificate on
849 the server. If multiple sets of parameters are present in the file, all of
850 them will be processed. Note that setting this option may also enable
851 Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchanges in certain non-default cipher suites.
852 You should append "!ADH" to your cipher suites if you have changed them
853 from the default, otherwise no certificate exchanges or verification will
856 .B olcTLSRandFile: <filename>
857 Specifies the file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random
858 is not available. Generally set to the name of the EGD/PRNGD socket.
859 The environment variable RANDFILE can also be used to specify the filename.
861 .B olcTLSVerifyClient: <level>
862 Specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an
863 incoming TLS session, if any.
866 can be specified as one of the following keywords:
872 will not ask the client for a certificate.
875 The client certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided,
876 the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided,
877 it will be ignored and the session proceeds normally.
880 The client certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided,
881 the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided,
882 the session is immediately terminated.
884 .B demand | hard | true
885 These keywords are all equivalent, for compatibility reasons.
886 The client certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided,
887 or a bad certificate is provided, the session is immediately terminated.
889 Note that a valid client certificate is required in order to use the
890 SASL EXTERNAL authentication mechanism with a TLS session. As such,
892 .B olcTLSVerifyClient
893 setting must be chosen to enable SASL EXTERNAL authentication.
896 .B olcTLSCRLCheck: <level>
897 Specifies if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) of the CA should be
898 used to verify if the client certificates have not been revoked. This
900 .B olcTLSCACertificatePath
903 can be specified as one of the following keywords:
907 No CRL checks are performed
910 Check the CRL of the peer certificate
913 Check the CRL for a whole certificate chain
915 .SH DYNAMIC MODULE OPTIONS
918 is compiled with --enable-modules then the module-related entries will
919 be available. These entries are named
920 .B cn=module{x},cn=config
922 must have the olcModuleList objectClass. One entry should be created
925 Normally the config engine generates the "{x}" index in the RDN
926 automatically, so it can be omitted when initially loading these entries.
928 .B olcModuleLoad: <filename>
929 Specify the name of a dynamically loadable module to load. The filename
930 may be an absolute path name or a simple filename. Non-absolute names
931 are searched for in the directories specified by the
935 .B olcModulePath: <pathspec>
936 Specify a list of directories to search for loadable modules. Typically
937 the path is colon-separated but this depends on the operating system.
939 Schema definitions are created as entries in the
940 .B cn=schema,cn=config
941 subtree. These entries must have the olcSchemaConfig objectClass.
942 As noted above, the actual
943 .B cn=schema,cn=config
944 entry is predefined and any values specified for it are ignored.
948 .B olcAttributetypes: "(\ <oid>\
950 [DESC\ <description>]\
959 [NO\-USER\-MODIFICATION]\
960 [USAGE\ <attributeUsage>]\ )"
962 Specify an attribute type using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC 4512.
963 The slapd parser extends the RFC 4512 definition by allowing string
964 forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the attribute OID and
965 attribute syntax OID.
967 .B olcObjectIdentifier
973 .B olcDitContentRules: "(\ <oid>\

1003 forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the object class OID.
1007 description.) Object classes are "STRUCTURAL" by default.
1010 .B olcObjectIdentifier: <name> "{ <oid> | <name>[:<suffix>] }"
1011 Define a string name that equates to the given OID. The string can be used
1012 in place of the numeric OID in objectclass and attribute definitions. The
1013 name can also be used with a suffix of the form ":xx" in which case the
1014 value "oid.xx" will be used.
1016 .SH GENERAL BACKEND OPTIONS
1017 Options in these entries only apply to the configuration of a single
1018 type of backend. All backends may support this class of options.
1019 The entry must be named
1020 .B olcBackend=<databasetype>,cn=config
1021 and must have the olcBackendConfig objectClass.
1039 At present, no backend implements any options of this type.
1041 .SH DATABASE OPTIONS
1042 Database options are set in entries named
1043 .B olcDatabase={x}<databasetype>,cn=config
1044 and must have the olcDatabaseConfig objectClass. Normally the config
1045 engine generates the "{x}" index in the RDN automatically, so it
1046 can be omitted when initially loading these entries.
1048 The special frontend database is always numbered "{-1}" and the config
1049 database is always numbered "{0}".
1051 .SH GLOBAL DATABASE OPTIONS
1052 Options in this section may be set in the special "frontend" database
1053 and inherited in all the other databases. These options may be altered
1054 by further settings in each specific database. The frontend entry must
1056 .B olcDatabase=frontend,cn=config
1057 and must have the olcFrontendConfig objectClass.
1059 .B olcAccess: to <what> "[ by <who> <access> <control> ]+"
1060 Grant access (specified by <access>) to a set of entries and/or
1061 attributes (specified by <what>) by one or more requestors (specified
1063 If no access controls are present, the default policy
1064 allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
1065 updates to rootdn. (e.g., "olcAccess: to * by * read").
1067 .BR slapd.access (5)

1070 Access controls set in the frontend are appended to any access
1071 controls set on the specific databases.
1072 The rootdn of a database can always read and write EVERYTHING
1075 Extra special care must be taken with the access controls on the
1076 config database. Unlike other databases, the default policy for the
1077 config database is to only allow access to the rootdn. Regular users
1078 should not have read access, and write access should be granted very
1079 carefully to privileged administrators.
1082 .B olcDefaultSearchBase: <dn>
1083 Specify a default search base to use when client submits a
1084 non-base search request with an empty base DN.
1085 Base scoped search requests with an empty base DN are not affected.
1086 This setting is only allowed in the frontend entry.
1088 .B olcReadOnly: TRUE | FALSE
1089 This option puts the database into "read-only" mode. Any attempts to
1090 modify the database will return an "unwilling to perform" error. By
1091 default, olcReadOnly is FALSE. Note that when this option is set
1092 TRUE on the frontend, it cannot be reset without restarting the
1093 server, since further writes to the config database will be rejected.
1095 .B olcRequires: <conditions>
1096 Specify a set of conditions to require (default none).
1097 The directive may be specified globally and/or per-database;
1098 databases inherit global conditions, so per-database specifications
1101 requires bind operation prior to directory operations.
1103 requires session to be using LDAP version 3.
1105 requires authentication prior to directory operations.
1107 requires SASL authentication prior to directory operations.
1109 requires strong authentication prior to directory operations.
1110 The strong keyword allows protected "simple" authentication
1111 as well as SASL authentication.
1113 may be used to require no conditions (useful to clear out globally
1114 set conditions within a particular database); it must occur first
1115 in the list of conditions.
1117 .B olcRestrict: <oplist>
1118 Specify a list of operations that are restricted.
1119 Restrictions on a specific database override any frontend setting.
1120 Operations can be any of
1125 .BR extended[=<OID>] ,
1129 or the special pseudo-operations
1133 which respectively summarize read and write operations.
1137 .I olcReadOnly: TRUE
1141 keyword allows to indicate the OID of the specific operation
1144 .B olcSchemaDN: <dn>
1145 Specify the distinguished name for the subschema subentry that
1146 controls the entries on this server. The default is "cn=Subschema".
1148 .B olcSecurity: <factors>
1149 Specify a set of security strength factors (separated by white space)
1151 .BR olcSaslSecprops 's
1153 option for a description of security strength factors).
1154 The directive may be specified globally and/or per-database.
1156 specifies the overall security strength factor.
1158 specifies the transport security strength factor.
1160 specifies the TLS security strength factor.
1162 specifies the SASL security strength factor.
1164 specifies the overall security strength factor to require for

1184 .B olcSizeLimit: {<integer>|unlimited}
1186 .B olcSizeLimit: size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer> [...]

1213 .SH GENERAL DATABASE OPTIONS
1214 Options in this section only apply to the specific database for
1215 which they are defined. They are supported by every
1216 type of backend. All of the Global Database Options may also be
1219 .B olcHidden: TRUE | FALSE
1220 Controls whether the database will be used to answer
1221 queries. A database that is hidden will never be
1222 selected to answer any queries, and any suffix configured
1223 on the database will be ignored in checks for conflicts
1224 with other databases. By default, olcHidden is FALSE.
1226 .B olcLastMod: TRUE | FALSE
1229 will automatically maintain the
1230 modifiersName, modifyTimestamp, creatorsName, and
1231 createTimestamp attributes for entries. It also controls
1232 the entryCSN and entryUUID attributes, which are needed
1233 by the syncrepl provider. By default, olcLastMod is TRUE.
1235 .B olcLimits: <who> <limit> [<limit> [...]]
1236 Specify time and size limits based on who initiated an operation.

1346 is the maximum number of entries slapd will return answering a search
1348 If no size limit is explicitly requested by the client, the

1358 limit is set to the keyword
1360 the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the keyword
1362 no hard limit is enforced.
1363 Explicit requests for size limits smaller or equal to the
1368 specifier sets a limit on the number of candidates a search request is allowed
1370 The rationale behind it is that searches for non-properly indexed
1371 attributes may result in large sets of candidates, which must be
1374 to determine whether they match the search filter or not.
1377 limit provides a means to drop such operations before they are even
1379 If the selected candidates exceed the
1381 limit, the search will abort with
1382 .IR "Unwilling to perform" .
1383 If it is set to the keyword
1385 no limit is applied (the default).
1388 the search is not even performed; this can be used to disallow searches
1389 for a specific set of users.
1390 If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the
1396 to preserve the original behavior.
1398 In case of no match, the global limits are used.
1399 The default values are the same as
1408 control is requested, the
1410 size limit is used by default, because the request of a specific page size
1411 is considered an explicit request for a limitation on the number
1412 of entries to be returned.
1413 However, the size limit applies to the total count of entries returned within
1414 the search, and not to a single page.
1415 Additional size limits may be enforced; the syntax is
1416 .BR size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited} ,
1419 is the max page size if no explicit limit is set; the keyword
1421 inhibits the server from returning an estimate of the total number
1422 of entries that might be returned
1423 (note: the current implementation does not return any estimate).
1426 indicates that no limit is applied to the pagedResults control page size.
1428 .B size.prtotal={<integer>|unlimited|disabled}
1429 allows to set a limit on the total number of entries that a pagedResults
1430 control allows to return.
1431 By default it is set to the
1436 is the max number of entries that the whole search with pagedResults control
1440 to allow unlimited number of entries to be returned, e.g. to allow
1441 the use of the pagedResults control as a means to circumvent size
1442 limitations on regular searches; the keyword
1444 disables the control, i.e. no paged results can be returned.
1445 Note that the total number of entries returned when the pagedResults control
1446 is requested cannot exceed the
1448 size limit of regular searches unless extended by the
1453 .B olcMaxDerefDepth: <depth>
1454 Specifies the maximum number of aliases to dereference when trying to
1455 resolve an entry, used to avoid infinite alias loops. The default is 1.
1457 .B olcMirrorMode: TRUE | FALSE
1458 This option puts a replica database into "mirror" mode. Update
1459 operations will be accepted from any user, not just the updatedn. The
1460 database must already be configured as syncrepl consumer
1461 before this keyword may be set. This mode must be used with extreme
1462 care, as it does not offer any consistency guarantees. This feature
1463 is intended to be used with an external frontend that guarantees that
1464 writes are only directed to a single master, switching to an alternate
1465 server only if the original master goes down.
1466 By default, this setting is FALSE.

1549 This DN may or may not be associated with an entry. An empty root
1550 DN (the default) specifies no root access is to be granted. It is
1551 recommended that the rootdn only be specified when needed (such as
1552 when initially populating a database). If the rootdn is within
1553 a namingContext (suffix) of the database, a simple bind password
1554 may also be provided using the
1556 directive. Note that the rootdn is always needed when using syncrepl.
1558 .B olcRootPW: <password>
1559 Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn. The
1560 password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext
1561 (suffix) of the database.
1562 This option accepts all RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to
1565 description) as well as cleartext.
1567 may be used to generate a hash of a password. Cleartext
1568 and \fB{CRYPT}\fP passwords are not recommended. If empty
1569 (the default), authentication of the root DN is by other means
1570 (e.g. SASL). Use of SASL is encouraged.
1572 .B olcSubordinate: [TRUE | FALSE | advertise]
1573 Specify that the current backend database is a subordinate of another
1574 backend database. A subordinate database may have only one suffix. This
1575 option may be used to glue multiple databases into a single namingContext.
1576 If the suffix of the current database is within the namingContext of a
1577 superior database, searches against the superior database will be
1578 propagated to the subordinate as well. All of the databases
1579 associated with a single namingContext should have identical rootdns.
1580 Behavior of other LDAP operations is unaffected by this setting. In
1581 particular, it is not possible to use moddn to move an entry from
1582 one subordinate to another subordinate within the namingContext.
1584 If the optional \fBadvertise\fP flag is supplied, the naming context of
1585 this database is advertised in the root DSE. The default is to hide this
1586 database context, so that only the superior context is visible.
1593 are used on the superior database, any glued subordinates that support
1594 these tools are opened as well.
1596 Databases that are glued together should usually be configured with the
1597 same indices (assuming they support indexing), even for attributes that
1598 only exist in some of these databases. In general, all of the glued
1599 databases should be configured as similarly as possible, since the intent
1600 is to provide the appearance of a single directory.
1602 Note that the subordinate functionality is implemented internally
1603 by the \fIglue\fP overlay and as such its behavior will interact with other
1604 overlays in use. By default, the glue overlay is automatically configured as
1605 the last overlay on the superior database. Its position on the database
1606 can be explicitly configured by setting an \fBoverlay glue\fP directive
1607 at the desired position. This explicit configuration is necessary e.g.
1608 when using the \fIsyncprov\fP overlay, which needs to follow \fIglue\fP
1609 in order to work over all of the glued databases. E.g.
1612 dn: olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config
1613 olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com
1616 dn: olcOverlay={0}glue,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config

1623 See the Overlays section below for more details.
1625 .B olcSuffix: <dn suffix>
1626 Specify the DN suffix of queries that will be passed to this
1627 backend database. Multiple suffix lines can be given and at least one is
1628 required for each database definition.
1629 If the suffix of one database is "inside" that of another, the database
1630 with the inner suffix must come first in the configuration file.

1690 as an LDAP URI. If <port> is not given, the standard LDAP port number
1691 (389 or 636) is used.
1695 replica is defined using a search
1696 specification as its result set. The consumer
1698 will send search requests to the provider
1700 according to the search specification. The search specification includes
1701 .B searchbase, scope, filter, attrs, attrsonly, sizelimit,
1704 parameters as in the normal search specification. The
1706 option may also be used to specify attributes that should be omitted
1707 from incoming entries.
1708 The \fBscope\fP defaults to \fBsub\fP, the \fBfilter\fP defaults to
1709 \fB(objectclass=*)\fP, and there is no default \fBsearchbase\fP. The
1710 \fBattrs\fP list defaults to \fB"*,+"\fP to return all user and operational
1711 attributes, and \fBattrsonly\fP and \fBexattrs\fP are unset by default.
1712 The \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBtimelimit\fP only
1713 accept "unlimited" and positive integers, and both default to "unlimited".
1714 Note, however, that any provider-side limits for the replication identity
1715 will be enforced by the provider regardless of the limits requested
1716 by the LDAP Content Synchronization operation, much like for any other
1719 The LDAP Content Synchronization protocol has two operation types.
1722 operation, the next synchronization search operation
1723 is periodically rescheduled at an interval time (specified by
1725 parameter; 1 day by default)
1726 after each synchronization operation finishes.
1728 .B refreshAndPersist
1729 operation, a synchronization search remains persistent in the provider slapd.
1730 Further updates to the master replica will generate
1731 .B searchResultEntry
1732 to the consumer slapd as the search responses to the persistent
1733 synchronization search.
1735 If an error occurs during replication, the consumer will attempt to
1736 reconnect according to the
1738 parameter which is a list of the <retry interval> and <# of retries> pairs.
1739 For example, retry="60 10 300 3" lets the consumer retry every 60 seconds
1740 for the first 10 times and then retry every 300 seconds for the next 3
1741 times before stop retrying. The `+' in <# of retries> means indefinite
1742 number of retries until success.
1744 The schema checking can be enforced at the LDAP Sync
1745 consumer site by turning on the
1747 parameter. The default is off.

1757 and should only be used when adequate security services

1775 keyword above) for a SASL bind can be set with the
1777 option. A non default SASL realm can be set with the
1780 The provider, other than allow authentication of the syncrepl identity,
1781 should grant that identity appropriate access privileges to the data
1782 that is being replicated (\fBaccess\fP directive), and appropriate time
1783 and size limits (\fBlimits\fP directive).
1788 parameter specifies use of the StartTLS extended operation
1789 to establish a TLS session before Binding to the provider. If the
1791 argument is supplied, the session will be aborted if the StartTLS request
1792 fails. Otherwise the syncrepl session continues without TLS. The
1793 tls_reqcert setting defaults to "demand" and the other TLS settings
1794 default to the same as the main slapd TLS settings.
1796 Rather than replicating whole entries, the consumer can query logs of
1797 data modifications. This mode of operation is referred to as \fIdelta
1798 syncrepl\fP. In addition to the above parameters, the
1802 parameters must be set appropriately for the log that will be used. The
1804 parameter must be set to either "accesslog" if the log conforms to the
1805 .BR slapo-accesslog (5)
1806 log format, or "changelog" if the log conforms
1807 to the obsolete \fIchangelog\fP format. If the
1809 parameter is omitted or set to "default" then the log parameters are
1813 .B olcUpdateDN: <dn>
1814 This option is only applicable in a slave
1816 It specifies the DN permitted to update (subject to access controls)
1817 the replica (typically, this is the DN
1819 binds to update the replica). Generally, this DN
1825 .B olcUpdateRef: <url>
1826 Specify the referral to pass back when
1828 is asked to modify a replicated local database.
1829 If multiple values are specified, each url is provided.
1831 .SH DATABASE-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
1832 Each database may allow specific configuration options; they are
1833 documented separately in the backends' manual pages. See the
1834 .BR slapd.backends (5)
1835 manual page for an overview of available backends.
1837 An overlay is a piece of
1838 code that intercepts database operations in order to extend or change
1839 them. Overlays are pushed onto
1840 a stack over the database, and so they will execute in the reverse
1841 of the order in which they were configured and the database itself
1842 will receive control last of all.
1844 Overlays must be configured as child entries of a specific database. The
1845 entry's RDN must be of the form
1846 .B olcOverlay={x}<overlaytype>
1847 and the entry must have the olcOverlayConfig objectClass. Normally the
1848 config engine generates the "{x}" index in the RDN automatically, so
1849 it can be omitted when initially loading these entries.
