The directory +must exist and grant appropriate permissions (rwx) to the identity slapd +is running with. +.SH ACCESS CONTROL +The +.B LDIF +backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in +.BR slapd.access (5). +Only +.B read (=r) +access to the +.B entry +pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries +returned by the +.B search +operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend. +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd (8), +.BR LDIF (5). +.SH AUTHOR +Eric Stokes -- 2.39.2
