ETCDIR/slapd.d
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B with another database,
without disrupting the currently active clients.
The default is FALSE. You may wish to use
-.B olcIdletTmeout
+.B olcIdleTimeout
along with this option.
.TP
.B olcIdleTimeout: <integer>
an idle client connection. A setting of 0 disables this
feature. The default is 0.
.TP
+.B olcIndexIntLen: <integer>
+Specify the key length for ordered integer indices. The most significant
+bytes of the binary integer will be used for index keys. The default
+value is 4, which provides exact indexing for 31 bit values.
+A floating point representation is used to index too large values.
+.TP
.B olcIndexSubstrIfMaxlen: <integer>
Specify the maximum length for subinitial and subfinal indices. Only
this many characters of an attribute value will be processed by the
using this filter "cn=*abcdefgh*" would generate index lookups for
"abcd", "cdef", and "efgh".
+.LP
+Note: Indexing support depends on the particular backend in use. Also,
+changing these settings will generally require deleting any indices that
+depend on these parameters and recreating them with
+.BR slapindex (8).
+
.TP
.B olcLocalSSF: <SSF>
Specifies the Security Strength Factor (SSF) to be given local LDAP sessions,
8 random characters of salt. The default is "%s", which
provides 31 characters of salt.
.TP
-.B olcPasswordHash: <hash> [<hash>...]
-This option configures one or more hashes to be used in generation of user
-passwords stored in the userPassword attribute during processing of
-LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations (RFC 3062).
-The <hash> must be one of
-.BR {SSHA} ,
-.BR {SHA} ,
-.BR {SMD5} ,
-.BR {MD5} ,
-.BR {CRYPT} ,
-and
-.BR {CLEARTEXT} .
-The default is

-
-.B {CRYPT}

-.BR crypt (3).
-
-.B {CLEARTEXT}
-indicates that the new password should be
-added to userPassword as clear text.
-
-Note that this option does not alter the normal user applications
-handling of userPassword during LDAP Add, Modify, or other LDAP operations.

.B olcReverseLookup: TRUE | FALSE
Enable/disable client name unverified reverse lookup (default is
Specify the name of an LDIF(5) file containing user defined attributes
for the root DSE. These attributes are returned in addition to the
attributes normally produced by slapd.
+
+The root DSE is an entry with information about the server and its
+capabilities, in operational attributes.
+It has the empty DN, and can be read with e.g.:
+.ti +4
+ldapsearch -x -b "" -s base "+"

.TP
.B olcSaslHost: <fqdn>
Used to specify the fully qualified domain name used for SASL processing.
.B olcServerID: <integer> [<URL>]
Specify an integer ID from 0 to 4095 for this server. These IDs are
required when using multimaster replication and each master must have a
-unique ID. If the URL is provided, this directive may be specified
+unique ID. Note that this requirement also applies to separate masters
+contributing to a glued set of databases.
+If the URL is provided, this directive may be specified
multiple times, providing a complete list of participating servers
and their IDs. The fully qualified hostname of each server should be
used in the supplied URLs. The IDs are used in the "replica id" field
