.SH NAME
|
|
slapd.plugin \- plugin configuration for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
file contains configuration information for the
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
daemon. This configuration file is also used by the
|
|
.BR slurpd (8)
|
|
replication daemon and by the SLAPD tools
|
|
.BR slapadd (8),
|
|
.BR slapcat (8),
|
|
and
|
|
.BR slapindex (8).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B slapd.conf
|
|
file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to
|
|
.B slapd
|
|
as a whole (including all backends), followed by zero or more database
|
|
backend definitions that contain information specific to a backend
|
|
instance.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The general format of
|
|
.B slapd.conf
|
|
is as follows:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
# comment - these options apply to every database
|
|
<global configuration options>
|
|
# first database definition & configuration options
|
|
database <backend 1 type>
|
|
<configuration options specific to backend 1>
|
|
# subsequent database definitions & configuration options
|
|
...
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
If slapd is compiled with \fI--enable-slapi\fP, support for plugins
|
|
according to \fINetscape's Directory Server Plug-Ins\fP.
|
|
Version 4 of the API is currently implemented, with some extensions
|
|
from version 5.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Both global and database specific data may contain plugin information.
|
|
Plugins associated with a specific database are called before global
|
|
plugins.
|
|
This manpage details the
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
configuration statements that affect the loading of SLAPI \fIplugins\fP.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Arguments that should be replaced by actual text are shown in brackets <>.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The structure of the plugin directives is
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B plugin "<type> <lib_path> <init_function> [<arguments>]"
|
|
Load a plugin of the specified type for the current database.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR <type>
|
|
can be one of
|
|
.BR preoperation ,
|
|
that is executed before processing the operation for the specified
|
|
database,
|
|
.BR postoperation ,
|
|
that is executed after the operation for the specified database
|
|
has been processed,
|
|
.BR extendedop ,
|
|
that is used when executing an extended operation, or
|
|
.BR object .
|
|
The latter is used for miscellaneous types such as ACL, computed
|
|
attribute and search filter rewriter plugins.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR <libpath>
|
|
argument specifies the path to the plugin loadable object; if a relative
|
|
path is given, the object is looked for according to the underlying
|
|
dynamic loading package (libtool's ltdl is used).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR <init_function>
|
|
argument specifies what symbol must be called when the plugin is first
|
|
loaded.
|
|
This function should register the functions provided by the plugin
|
|
for the desired operations. It should be noted that it is this
|
|
init function, not the plugin type specified as the first argument,
|
|
that determines when and for what operations the plugin will be invoked.
|
|
The optional
|
|
.BR <arguments>
|
|
list is passed to the init function.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B pluginlog <file>
|
|
Specify an alternative path for the plugin log file (default is
|
|
LOCALSTATEDIR/error).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B modulepath <pathspec>
|
|
This statement sets the module load path for dynamically loadable
|
|
backends, as described in
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5);
|
|
however, since both the dynamically loadable backends
|
|
and the SLAPI plugins use the same underlying library (libtool's ltdl)
|
|
its value also affects the plugin search path.
|
|
In general the search path is made of colon-separated paths; usually
|
|
the user-defined path is searched first; then the value of the
|
|
\fILTDL_LIBRARY_PATH\fP environment variable, if defined, is used;
|
|
finally, the systemi-specific dynamic load path is attempted (e.g. on
|
|
Linux the value of the environment variable \fILD_LIBRARY_PATH\fP).
|
|
Please carefully read the documentation of ltdl because its behavior
|
|
is very platform dependent.
