.SH NAME
|
|
slapd-ldbm \- LDBM backend to slapd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The LDBM backend to
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
is a database which uses one of BerkelyDB, Gnu DBM, MDBM or NDBM to
|
|
store data.
|
|
It makes extensive use of indexing and caching to speed data access.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
These
|
|
.B slapd.conf
|
|
options apply to the LDBM backend database.
|
|
That is, they must follow a "database ldbm" line and come before any
|
|
subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
|
|
Other database options are described in the
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B cachesize <integer>
|
|
Specify the size in entries of the in-memory cache maintained
|
|
by the LDBM backend database instance.
|
|
The default is 1000 entries.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B dbcachesize <integer>
|
|
Specify the size in bytes of the in-memory cache associated with each
|
|
open index file.
|
|
If not supported by the underlying database method, this option is
|
|
ignored without comment.
|
|
The default is 100000 bytes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B dbnolocking
|
|
Specify that no database locking should be performed.
|
|
Enabling this option may improve performance at the expense of data security.
|
|
Do NOT run any slap tools while slapd is running.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B dbnosync
|
|
Specify that on-disk database contents should not be immediately
|
|
synchronized with in memory changes.
|
|
Enabling this option may improve performance at the expense of data
|
|
security.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B dbsync <frequency> <maxdelays> <delayinterval>
|
|
Flush dirty database buffers to disk every
|
|
.B <seconds>
|
|
seconds.
|
|
Implies
|
|
.B dbnosync
|
|
(ie. indvidual updates are no longer written to disk).
|
|
It attempts to avoid syncs during periods of peak activity by waiting
|
|
.B <delayinterval>
|
|
seconds if the server is busy, repeating this delay up to
|
|
.B <maxdelays>
|
|
times before proceeding.
|
|
It is an attempt to provide higher write performance with some amount
|
|
of data security.
|
|
Note that it may still be possible to get an inconsistent database if
|
|
the underlying engine fills its cache and writes out individual pages
|
|
and slapd crashes or is killed before the next sync.
|
|
.B <maxdelays>
|
|
and
|
|
.B <delayinterval>
|
|
are optional and default to
|
|
.B 12
|
|
and
|
|
.B 5
|
|
respectively, giving a total elapsed delay of 60 seconds before a sync
|
|
will occur.
|
|
.B <maxdelays>
|
|
may be zero, and
|
|
.B <delayinterval>
|
|
must be 1 or greater.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B directory <directory>
|
|
Specify the directory where the LDBM files containing this database and
|
|
associated indexes live.
|
|
A separate directory must be specified for each database.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.BR LOCALSTATEDIR/openldap-data .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
index {<attrlist>|default} [pres,eq,approx,sub,<special>]
|
|
Specify the indexes to maintain for the given attribute (or
|
|
list of attributes).
|
|
Some attributes only support a subset of indexes.
|
|
If only an <attr> is given, the indices specified for \fBdefault\fR
|
|
are maintained.
|
|
Note that setting a default does not imply that all attributes will be
|
|
indexed.
|
|
|
|
A number of special index parameters may be specified.
|
|
The index type
|
|
.B sub
|
|
can be decomposed into
|
|
.BR subinitial ,
|
|
.BR subany ,\ and
|
|
.B subfinal
|
|
indices.
|
|
The special type
|
|
.B nolang
|
|
may be specified to disallow use of this index by language subtypes.
|
|
The special type
|
|
.B nosubtypes
|
|
may be specified to disallow use of this index by named subtypes.
|
|
Note: changing index settings requires rebuilding indices, see
|
|
.BR slapindex (8).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B mode <integer>
|
|
Specify the file protection mode that newly created database
|
|
index files should have.
|
|
The default is 0600.
