.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Slapd
is the stand-alone LDAP daemon. It listens for LDAP connections on
-port 389, responding
+any number of ports (default 389), responding
to the LDAP operations it receives over these connections.
.B slapd
is typically invoked at boot time, usually out of
Specifies the slapd configuration file. The default is
.BR ETCDIR/slapd.conf .
.TP
-.BI \-a " address"
+.BI \-h " URLlist"
.B slapd
-will listen on all addresses (INADDR_ANY) unless this option
-is given to override the default. The address is expected in
-Internet standard '.' format.
+will serve
+.B ldap:///
+(LDAP over TCP on all interfaces on default LDAP port). As such,
+it will bind to INADDR_ANY, port 389.
+The
+.B \-h
+option may be used to specify LDAP (and LDAPS) URLs to serve.
+For example, if slapd is given
+.B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:///",
+It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP and INADDR_ANY:636 for LDAP over TLS.
+A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLS should be of
+LDAP (ldap://) or, if supported, LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) type without
+a DN or other optional parameters. Hosts may be specified in either
+Internet '.' format (preferred) or by name. Ports, if specfied,
+must be numeric.
.TP
.BI \-p " port\-number"
.B slapd
-will listen on the default LDAP port (389) unless this option is given
-to override the default. A numeric port number is expected.
+will use on the default port (389) for LDAP URLs unless this
+option is given to override the default.
+A numeric port number is expected.
.TP
-.BI \-T
-If
+.BI \-P " tls\-port\-number"
.B slapd
-is built with support for Transport Layer Security and this option is
-given, it will bind on an additional port for TLS/SSL connections.
-Notice that this is LDAP over raw TLS, not TLS with SASL that works
-on the normal port.
+will use on the default port (636) for LDAPS (LDAP over TLS) URLs
+unless this option is given to override the default. A numeric port
+number is expected.
.TP
.BI \-P " port\-number"
Changes the port where
.BI \-g " group"
.B slapd
will run with the specified group name or id.
-.TP
-.B \-i
-This option tells
-.B slapd
-that it is being run from
-.BR inetd(8) ,
-the Internet protocol daemon.
