slapd-ldif(5)


NAME

   slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/ldap/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.

FILES

   /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
          default slapd configuration file
