.SH NAME
|
|
slapd-ldif \- LDIF backend to slapd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The LDIF backend to
|
|
.BR 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.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
These
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 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.
|
|
.SH ACCESS CONTROL
|
|
The
|
|
.B LDIF
|
|
backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in
|
|
.BR slapd.access (5).
|
|
Only
|
|
.B read (=r)
|
|
access to the
|
|
.B entry
|
|
pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries
|
|
returned by the
|
|
.B search
|
|
operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
