+Specify an attribute type using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC 2252.
+This is the preferred format for attribute type definitions. The slapd
+parser extends the RFC 2252 definition by allowing string forms as well
+as numeric OIDs to be used for the attribute OID and attribute syntax OID.

+Specify an objectclass using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC 2252.
+This is the preferred format for object class definitions. The slapd
+parser extends the RFC 2252 definition by allowing string forms as well
+as numeric OIDs to be used for the object class OID. (See the

+Define a string name that equates to the given OID. The string can be used
+in place of the numeric OID in objectclass and attribute definitions. The

+value "oid.xx" will be used.

+.B TLSCipherSuite <cipher-suite-spec>
+Permits configuring what ciphers will be accepted and the preference order.
+<cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher specification for OpenSSL. Example:

+To check what ciphers a given spec selects, use:

+.B TLSCertificateFile <filename>
+Specifies the file that contains the

+.TP
+.B TLSCertificateKeyFile <filename>
+Specifies the file that contains the

+server private key that matches the certificate stored in the
+.B TLSCertificateFile
+file. Currently, the private key must not be protected with a password, so
+it is of critical importance that it is protected carefully.
