It uses a higher level SQL API for creating -these tables, while using the low level NDB API for storing and -retrieving the data within these tables. The NDB Cluster engine -allows data to be partitioned across multiple data nodes, and this -backend allows multiple slapd instances to operate against a given -database concurrently. -.LP -The general approach is to use distinct tables for each LDAP object class. -Entries comprised of multiple object classes will have their data -spread across multiple tables. The data tables use a 64 bit entryID -as their primary key. The DIT hierarchy is maintained in a separate -table, which maps DNs to entryIDs. -.LP -This backend is experimental. While intended to be a general-purpose -backend, it is currently missing a number of common LDAP features. -See the \fBTODO\fP file in the source directory for details. -.SH CONFIGURATION -These -.B slapd.conf -options apply to the \fBndb\fP backend database. -That is, they must follow a "database ndb" line and -come before any subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. -Other database options are described in the -.BR slapd.conf (5) -manual page. - -.SH DATA SOURCE CONFIGURATION - -.TP -.B dbhost -The name or IP address of the host running the MySQL server. The default -is "localhost". On Unix systems, the connection to a local server is made -using a Unix Domain socket, whose path is specified using the -.B dbsocket -directive. -.TP -.B dbuser -The MySQL login ID to use when connecting to the MySQL server. The chosen -user must have sufficient privileges to manipulate the SQL tables in the -target database. -.TP -.B dbpasswd -The password for the \fBdbuser\fP. -.TP -.B dbname -The name of the MySQL database to use. -.TP -.B dbport -The port number to use for the TCP connection to the MySQL server. -.TP -.B dbsocket -The socket to be used for connecting to a local MySQL server. -.TP -.B dbflag -Client flags for the MySQL session. See the MySQL documentation for details. -.TP -.B dbconnect -The name or IP address of the host running the cluster manager. The default -is "localhost". -.TP -.B dbconnections -The number of cluster connections to establish. Using up to 4 may improve -performance under heavier load. The default is 1. - -.SH SCHEMA CONFIGURATION -.TP -.B attrlen -Specify the column length to use for a particular attribute. LDAP attributes are -stored in individual columns of the SQL tables. The maximum column lengths for -each column must be specified when creating these tables. If a length constraint -was specified in the attribute's LDAP schema definition, that value will be used -by default. If the schema didn't specify a constraint, the default is 128 bytes. -Currently the maximum is 1024. -.TP -.B index -Specify a list of attributes for which indexing should be maintained. -Currently there is no support for substring indexing; a single index structure -provides presence, equality, and inequality indexing for the specified attributes. -.TP -.B attrset -Specify a list of attributes to be treated as an attribute set. This directive -creates a table named \fIset\fP which will contain all of the listed attributes. -Ordinarily an attribute resides in a table named by an object class that uses -the attribute. However, attributes are only allowed to appear in a single table. -For attributes that are derived from an inherited object class definition, -the attribute will only be stored in the superior class's table. -Attribute sets should be defined for any attributes that are used in multiple -unrelated object classes, i.e., classes that are not connected by a simple -inheritance chain. -.SH ACCESS CONTROL -The -.B ndb -backend honors most access control semantics as indicated in -.BR slapd.access (5). -.SH FILES -.TP -.B ETCDIR/slapd.conf -default -.B slapd -configuration file -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR slapd.conf (5), -.BR slapd (8), -.BR slapadd (8), -.BR slapcat (8), -.BR slapindex (8), -MySQL Cluster documentation. -.SH AUTHOR -Howard Chu, with assistance from Johan Andersson et al @ MySQL. -- 2.39.5
