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

65 operation and status messages are printed for any value of \fIdebug\-level\fP.
66 \fIdebug\-level\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a
67 different kind of debugging information. See <ldap.h> for details.

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

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

143 Note that on some systems, running as a non-privileged user will prevent
144 passwd back-ends from accessing the encrypted passwords. Note also that
145 any shell back-ends will run as the specified non-privileged user.
