NAME

6       slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  LDIF  backend  to  slapd(8) is a basic storage backend that stores
13       entries in text files in LDIF format, and exploits  the  filesystem  to
14       create  the tree structure of the database.  It is intended as a cheap,
15       low performance easy to use backend, and it  is  exploited  by  higher-
16       level internal structures to provide a permanent storage.
17

CONFIGURATION

19       These  slapd.conf options apply to the LDIF backend database.  That is,
20       they must follow a "database ldif" line and come before any  subsequent
21       "backend" or "database" lines.  Other database options are described in
22       the slapd.conf(5) manual page.
23
24       directory <dir>
25              Specify the directory  where  the  database  tree  starts.   The
26              directory  must exist and grant appropriate permissions (rwx) to
27              the identity slapd is running with.
28

ACCESS CONTROL

30       The LDIF backend does not honor any of  the  access  control  semantics
31       described  in  slapd.access(5).   Only  read  (=r)  access to the entry
32       pseudo-attribute and to the  other  attribute  values  of  the  entries
33       returned  by the search operation is honored, which is performed by the
34       frontend.
