20 is the stand-alone LDAP daemon. It listens for LDAP connections on
21 any number of ports (default 389), responding
22 to the LDAP operations it receives over these connections.

68 \fIdebug\-level\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a
69 different kind of debugging information. See <ldap.h> for details.

102 it will bind to INADDR_ANY, port 389.
105 option may be used to specify LDAP (and LDAPS) URLs to serve.
106 For example, if slapd is given
107 .B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:///",
108 It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP and INADDR_ANY:636 for LDAP over TLS.
109 A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLS should be of
110 LDAP (ldap://) or, if supported, LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) type without
111 a DN or other optional parameters. Hosts may be specified in either
112 Internet '.' format (preferred) or by name. Ports, if specfied,
115 .BI \-p " port\-number"
117 will use on the default port (389) for LDAP URLs unless this
118 option is given to override the default.
119 A numeric port number is expected.
121 .BI \-P " tls\-port\-number"
123 will use on the default port (636) for LDAPS (LDAP over TLS) URLs
124 unless this option is given to override the default. A numeric port

130 will expect LDAP over raw TLS connections. If this option is not given,
131 the default port for this purpose (636) will be used. A numeric port
136 will run slapd with the specified user name or id, and that user's
137 supplementary group access list as set with initgroups(3). The group ID
138 is also changed to this user's gid, unless the -g option is used to
