Briefly compare back-bdb and back-ldbm. Remove mention of MDBM and NDBM. Rename GNU DBM to GDBM. Fix spacing typos. Prefix an octal file mode with 0. Mention "notags" (new name for "nolang" from the attribute options patch). Add SEE ALSO slapd-monitor(5) to slapd.conf(5).

.SH NAME
|
|
slapd-ldbm \- LDBM backend to slapd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The LDBM backend to
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
is the database backend which is easiest to configure.
|
|
However, it does not offer the data durability features of the BDB
|
|
backend.
|
|
It uses Berkeley DB or GDBM 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 notags
|
|
(or
|
|
.BR nolang )
|
|
may be specified to disallow use of this index by subtypes with tagging
|
|
options (such as language options).
|
|
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.
