slapd\-sock \- Socket backend/overlay to slapd
|
2007-09-07 20:27:33 +08:00
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The Socket backend to
|
|
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
|
|
uses an external program to handle queries, similarly to
|
2009-06-03 08:43:44 +08:00
|
|
|
.BR slapd\-shell (5).
|
2007-09-07 20:27:33 +08:00
|
|
|
However, in this case the external program listens on a Unix domain socket.
|
|
|
|
This makes it possible to have a pool of processes, which persist between
|
|
|
|
requests. This allows multithreaded operation and a higher level of
|
|
|
|
efficiency. The external program must have been started independently;
|
|
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
|
|
itself will not start it.
|
2011-02-04 04:53:19 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module may also be used as an overlay on top of some other database.
|
|
|
|
Use as an overlay allows external actions to be triggered in response to
|
|
|
|
operations on the main database.
|
2007-09-07 20:27:33 +08:00
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
These
|
|
|
|
.B slapd.conf
|
|
|
|
options apply to the SOCK backend database.
|
|
|
|
That is, they must follow a "database sock" line and come before any
|
|
|
|
subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
|
|
|
|
Other database options are described in the
|
|
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
|
|
manual page.
|
2011-02-04 04:53:19 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to use this module as an overlay, these directives must
|
|
|
|
follow an "overlay sock" line within an existing database definition.

.B socketpath <pathname>
|
|
|
|
Gives the path to a Unix domain socket to which the commands will

|
|
be sent and from which replies are received.
|
2011-02-04 19:09:00 +08:00

When used as an overlay, these additional directives are defined:

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B sockops [ bind | unbind | search | compare | modify | modrdn | add | delete ]*
|
|
|
|
Specify which request types to send to the external program. The default is
|
|
|
|
empty (no requests are sent).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B sockresps [ result | search ]*
|
|
|
|
Specify which response types to send to the external program. "result"
|
|
|
|
sends just the results of an operation. "search" sends all entries that
|
|
|
|
the database returned for a search request. The default is empty
|
|
|
|
(no responses are sent).
|

|
|
|
2007-09-07 20:27:33 +08:00

.SH PROTOCOL

The commands - except \fBunbind\fP - should output:

RESULT
|

|
where only RESULT is mandatory, and then close the socket.
|
|
|
|
The \fBsearch\fP RESULT should be preceded by the entries in LDIF
|
|
|
|
format, each entry followed by a blank line.
|
|
|
|
Lines starting with `#' or `DEBUG:' are ignored.

|

2011-02-04 19:09:00 +08:00
|
|
|
When used as an overlay, the external program should return a
|
|
|
|
CONTINUE response if request processing should continue normally, or
|
|
|
|
a regular RESULT response if the external program wishes to bypass the
|
|
|
|
underlying database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the overlay is configured to send response messages to the external
|
|
|
|
program, they will appear as an extended RESULT message or as an
|
|
|
|
ENTRY message, defined below. The RESULT message is similar to
|
|
|
|
the one above, but also includes the msgid and any configured
|
|
|
|
extensions:

Typically both the msgid and the connid will be needed to match

2011-02-04 19:09:00 +08:00
|
|
|
a result message to a request. The ENTRY message has the form

.SH ACCESS CONTROL

The

|
|
In general, access to objects is checked by using a dummy object

that contains only the DN, so access rules that rely on the contents
