slapd-null(5)


NAME

   slapd-null - Null backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

   The Null backend to slapd(8) is surely the most useful part of slapd:
   - Searches return success but no entries.
   - Compares return compareFalse.
   - Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing.
   -  Binds other than as the rootdn fail unless the database option "bind
   on" is given.
   - The slapadd(8) and slapcat(8) tools are equally exciting.
   Inspired by the /dev/null device.

CONFIGURATION

   This slapd.conf option applies to the NULL backend database.  That  is,
   it  must  follow  a "database null" line and come before any subsequent
   "database"  lines.   Other  database  options  are  described  in   the
   slapd.conf(5) manual page.

   bind <on/off>
          Allow  binds  as  any  DN  in  this  backend's  suffix, with any
          password.  The default is "off".

EXAMPLE

   Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null backend:

          database null
          suffix   "cn=Nothing"
          bind     on

ACCESS CONTROL

   The null backend does not honor any of  the  access  control  semantics
   described in slapd.access(5).

FILES

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