Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to
allow (default none).
.B bind_v2
-allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests.
+allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests. Note that
+.BR slapd (8)
+does not truely implement LDAPv2 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494).
.B bind_anon_cred
allows anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g.
when DN is empty).
.B bind_anon_dn
allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty.
+.B update_anon
+allow unauthenticated (anonymous) update operations to be processed
+(subject to access controls and other administrative limits).
.TP
.B argsfile <filename>
The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the
.B slapd
server's command line options
if started without the debugging command line option.
+.TP
+.B attributeoptions [option-name]...
+Define tagging attribute options or option tag/range prefixes.
+Options must not end with `-', prefixes must end with `-'.
+The `lang-' prefix is predefined.
+If you use the
+.B attributeoptions
+directive, `lang-' will no longer be defined and you must specify it
+explicitly if you want it defined.
+
+An attribute description with a tagging option is a subtype of that
+attribute description without the option.
+Except for that, options defined this way have no special semantics.
+Prefixes defined this way work like the `lang-' options:
+They define a prefix for tagging options starting with the prefix.
+That is, if you define the prefix `x-foo-', you can use the option
+`x-foo-bar'.
+Furthermore, in a search or compare, a prefix or range name (with
+a trailing `-') matches all options starting with that name, as well
+as the option with the range name sans the trailing `-'.
+That is, `x-foo-bar-' matches `x-foo-bar' and `x-foo-bar-baz'.
+
+RFC2251 reserves options beginning with `x-' for private experiments.
+Other options should be registered with IANA, see RFC3383 section 3.4.
+OpenLDAP also has the `binary' option built in, but this is a transfer
+option, not a tagging option.

.B rootDSE <file>
for the root DSE. These attributes are returned in addition to the
attributes normally produced by slapd.
.TP
+.B sasl-authz-policy <policy>
+Used to specify which rules to use for SASL Proxy Authorization. Proxy
+authorization allows a client to authenticate to the server using one
+user's credentials, but specify a different identity to use for authorization
+and access control purposes. It essentially allows user A to login as user
+B, using user A's password.
+The
+.B none
+flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting.
+The
+.B from
+flag will use rules in the
+.I saslAuthzFrom
+attribute of the authorization DN.
+The
+.B to
+flag will use rules in the
+.I saslAuthzTo
+attribute of the authentication DN.
+The
+.B both
+flag will allow both of the above. The rules are simply regular expressions
+specifying which DNs are allowed to perform proxy authorization. The
+.I saslAuthzFrom
+attribute in an entry specifies which other users
+are allowed to proxy login to this entry. The
+.I saslAuthzTo
+attribute in
+an entry specifies which other users this user can authorize as. Use of
+.I saslAuthzTo
+rules can be easily
+abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute.
+In general the
+.I saslAuthzTo
+attribute must be protected with ACLs such that
+only privileged users can modify it.

flag disables mechanisms susceptible to passive dictionary attacks.

factor is measure of security provided by the underlying transport,
e.g. ldapi:// (and eventually IPSEC). It is not normally used.
