NAME
slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The LDIF backend to
slapd (8) is a basic storage backend that stores entries in text files in LDIF format,
and exploits the filesystem to create the tree structure of the database.
It is intended as a cheap, low performance easy to use backend, and it is
exploited by higher-level internal structures to provide a permanent
storage.
CONFIGURATION
These
slapd.conf options apply to the LDIF backend database.
That is, they must follow a "database ldif" line and come before
any subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
Other database options are described in the
slapd.conf (5) manual page.
directory <dir> Specify the directory where the database tree starts. The directory must exist and grant appropriate permissions (rwx) to the identity slapd is running with.
ACCESS CONTROL
The
LDIF backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in
slapd.access (5). Only
read (=r) access to the
entry pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries
returned by the
search operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
