Null Backend Interface for OpenLDAP The Null backend is surely the most useful part of slapd: - Searches return success but no entries. - Compares return compareFalse. - Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing. - Binds fail unless the database option "bind on" is given. The "bind" option is "off" by default. Inspired by the /dev/null device. slapd.conf example: database null suffix "cn=Nothing" bind on
