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
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
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.
