12 The LDIF backend to slapd(8) is a basic storage backend that stores en‐
13 tries in text files in LDIF format, and exploits the filesystem to cre‐
14 ate the tree structure of the database. It is intended as a cheap, low
15 performance easy to use backend, and it is exploited by higher-level
16 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 di‐
26 rectory 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 de‐
31 scribed in slapd.access(5). Only read (=r) access to the entry pseudo-
32 attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries returned by
33 the search operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
