-.SH BACKENDS
-The following backends can be compiled into slapd.
-They are documented in the
-.BR slapd-<backend> (5)
-manual pages.
-.TP
-.B bdb
-This is the recommended backend for a normal slapd database.
-However, it takes more care than with the LDBM backend to configure
-it properly.
-It uses the Sleepycat Berkeley DB (BDB) package to store data.
-.TP
-.B config
-This backend is used to manage the configuration of slapd run-time.
-.TP
-.B dnssrv
-This backend is experimental.
-It serves up referrals based upon SRV resource records held in the
-Domain Name System.
-.TP
-.B hdb
-This is a variant of the BDB backend that uses a hierarchical database
-layout which supports subtree renames.
-.TP
-.B ldap
-This backend acts as a proxy to forward incoming requests to another
-LDAP server.
-.TP
-.B ldbm
-This is the database backend which is easiest to configure.
-However, it does not offer the data durability features of the BDB
-backend.
-It uses Berkeley DB or GDBM to store data.
-.TP
-.B ldif
-This database uses the filesystem to build the tree structure
-of the database, using plain ascii files to store data.
-Its usage should be limited to very simple databases, where performances
-are not a requirement.
-.TP
-.B meta
-This backend performs basic LDAP proxying with respect to a set of
-remote LDAP servers. It is an enhancement of the ldap backend. The
-proxy cache extension of meta backend provides answering of search
-requests from the proxy using results of previously cached requests.
-.TP
-.B monitor
-This backend provides information about the running status of the slapd
-daemon.
-.TP
-.B null
-Operations in this backend succeed but do nothing.
-.TP
-.B passwd
-This backend is provided for demonstration purposes only.
-It serves up user account information from the system
-.BR passwd (5)
-file.
-.TP
-.B perl
-This backend embeds a
-.BR perl (1)
-interpreter into slapd.
-It runs Perl subroutines to implement LDAP operations.
-.TP
-.B relay
-This backend is experimental.
-It redirects LDAP operations to another database
-in the same server, based on the naming context of the request.
-Its use requires the
-.B rwm
-overlay (see
-.BR slapo-rwm (5)
-for details) to rewrite the naming context of the request.
-It is is primarily intended to implement virtual views on databases
-that actually store data.
-.TP
-.B shell
-This backend executes external programs to implement LDAP operations.
-It is primarily intended to be used in prototypes.
-.TP
-.B sql
-This backend is experimental.
-It services LDAP requests from an SQL database.
-.SH OVERLAYS
-The following overlays can be compiled into slapd.
-They are documented in the
-.BR slapo-<overlay> (5)
-manual pages.
-.TP
-.B accesslog
-Access Logging.
-This overlay can record accesses to a given backend database on another
-database.
-.TP
-.B auditlog
-Audit Logging.
-This overlay records changes on a given backend database to an LDIF log
-file.
-By default it is not built.
-.TP
-.B chain
-Chaining.
-This overlay allows automatic referral chasing when a referral would
-have been returned.
-.TP
-.B denyop
-Deny Operation.
-This overlay allows selected operations to be denied, similar to the
-\fBrestrict\fP option.
-.TP
-.B dyngroup
-Dynamic Group.
-This is a demo overlay which extends the Compare operation to detect
-members of a dynamic group.
-It has no effect on any other operations.
-.TP
-.B dynlist
-Dynamic List.
-This overlay allows expansion of dynamic groups and more.
-.TP
-.B lastmod
-Last Modification.
-This overlay maintains a service entry in the database with the DN,
-modification type, modifiersName and modifyTimestamp of the last write
-operation performed on that database.
-.TP
-.B pcache
-Proxycache.
-This overlay allows caching of LDAP search requests in a local database.
-.TP
-.B ppolicy
-Password Policy.
-This overlay provides a variety of password control mechanisms,
-e.g. password aging, password reuse and duplication control, mandatory
-password resets, etc.
-.TP
-.B refint
-Referential Integrity.
-This overlay can be used with a backend database such as
-.BR slapd-bdb (5)
-to maintain the cohesiveness of a schema which utilizes reference
-attributes.
-.TP
-.B retcode
-Return Code.
-This overlay is useful to test the behavior of clients when
-server-generated erroneous and/or unusual responses occur.
-.TP
-.B rwm
-Rewrite/remap.
-This overlay is experimental.
-It performs basic DN/data rewrite and
-objectClass/attributeType mapping.
-.TP
-.B syncprov
-Syncrepl Provider.
-This overlay implements the provider-side support for
-.B syncrepl
-replication, including persistent search functionality.
-.TP
-.B translucent
-Translucent Proxy.
-This overlay can be used with a backend database such as
-.BR slapd-bdb (5)
-to create a "translucent proxy".
-Content of entries retrieved from a remote LDAP server can be partially
-overridden by the database.
-.TP
-.B unique
-Attribute Uniqueness.
-This overlay can be used with a backend database such as
-.BR slapd-bdb (5)
-to enforce the uniqueness of some or all attributes within a subtree.
+documented separately in the backends' manual pages. See the
+.BR slapd.backends (5)
+manual page for an overview of available backends.

Here is a short example of a configuration file:

-pidfile LOCALSTATEDIR/slapd.pid
+pidfile LOCALSTATEDIR/run/slapd.pid
# Subtypes of "name" (e.g. "cn" and "ou") with the
# option ";x-hidden" can be searched for/compared,
# but are not shown. See \fBslapd.access\fP(5).
attributeoptions x-hidden lang-
-access to attr=name;x-hidden by * =cs
+access to attrs=name;x-hidden by * =cs
# Protect passwords. See \fBslapd.access\fP(5).
