6 slapd.conf - configuration file for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon
7
9 /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
10
12 The file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf contains configuration information
13 for the slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the
14 slurpd(8) replication daemon and by the SLAPD tools slapacl(8), sla‐
15 padd(8), slapauth(8), slapcat(8), slapdn(8), slapindex(8), and
16 slaptest(8).
17
18 The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration
19 options that apply to slapd as a whole (including all backends), fol‐
20 lowed by zero or more database backend definitions that contain infor‐
21 mation specific to a backend instance. The configuration options are
22 case-insensitive; their value, on a case by case basis, may be case-
23 sensitive.
24
25 The general format of slapd.conf is as follows:
26
27 # comment - these options apply to every database
28 <global configuration options>
29 # first database definition & configuration options
30 database <backend 1 type>
31 <configuration options specific to backend 1>
32 # subsequent database definitions & configuration options
33 ...
34
35 As many backend-specific sections as desired may be included. Global
36 options can be overridden in a backend (for options that appear more
37 than once, the last appearance in the slapd.conf file is used).
38
39 If a line begins with white space, it is considered a continuation of
40 the previous line. Blank lines and comment lines beginning with a `#'
41 character are ignored. Note: continuation lines are unwrapped before
42 comment processing is applied.
43
44 Arguments on configuration lines are separated by white space. If an
45 argument contains white space, the argument should be enclosed in dou‐
46 ble quotes. If an argument contains a double quote (`"') or a back‐
47 slash character (`\'), the character should be preceded by a backslash
48 character.
49
50 The specific configuration options available are discussed below in the
51 Global Configuration Options, General Backend Options, and General
52 Database Options. Backend-specific options are discussed in the
53 slapd-<backend>(5) manual pages. Refer to the "OpenLDAP Administra‐
54 tor's Guide" for more details on the slapd configuration file.
55
57 Options described in this section apply to all backends, unless specif‐
58 ically overridden in a backend definition. Arguments that should be
59 replaced by actual text are shown in brackets <>.
60
61 access to <what> [ by <who> <access> <control> ]+
62 Grant access (specified by <access>) to a set of entries and/or
63 attributes (specified by <what>) by one or more requestors
64 (specified by <who>). If no access controls are present, the
65 default policy allows anyone and everyone to read anything but
66 restricts updates to rootdn. (e.g., "access to * by * read").
67 The rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING! See
68 slapd.access(5) and the "OpenLDAP's Administrator's Guide" for
69 details.
70
71 allow <features>
72 Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to allow
73 (default none). bind_v2 allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind
74 requests. Note that slapd(8) does not truly implement LDAPv2
75 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494). bind_anon_cred allows
76 anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g. when DN is
77 empty). bind_anon_dn allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind
78 when DN is not empty. update_anon allows unauthenticated
79 (anonymous) update operations to be processed (subject to access
80 controls and other administrative limits).
81
82 argsfile <filename>
83 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the slapd
84 server's command line options if started without the debugging
85 command line option.
86
87 attributeoptions [option-name]...
88 Define tagging attribute options or option tag/range prefixes.
89 Options must not end with `-', prefixes must end with `-'. The
90 `lang-' prefix is predefined. If you use the attributeoptions
91 directive, `lang-' will no longer be defined and you must spec‐
92 ify it explicitly if you want it defined.
93
94 An attribute description with a tagging option is a subtype of
95 that attribute description without the option. Except for that,
96 options defined this way have no special semantics. Prefixes
97 defined this way work like the `lang-' options: They define a
98 prefix for tagging options starting with the prefix. That is,
99 if you define the prefix `x-foo-', you can use the option `x-
100 foo-bar'. Furthermore, in a search or compare, a prefix or
101 range name (with a trailing `-') matches all options starting
102 with that name, as well as the option with the range name sans
103 the trailing `-'. That is, `x-foo-bar-' matches `x-foo-bar' and
104 `x-foo-bar-baz'.
105
106 RFC 4520 reserves options beginning with `x-' for private exper‐
107 iments. Other options should be registered with IANA, see RFC
108 4520 section 3.5. OpenLDAP also has the `binary' option built
109 in, but this is a transfer option, not a tagging option.
110
111 attributetype ( <oid> [NAME <name>] [DESC <description>] [OBSOLETE]
112 [SUP <oid>] [EQUALITY <oid>] [ORDERING <oid>] [SUBSTR <oid>]
113 [SYNTAX <oidlen>] [SINGLE-VALUE] [COLLECTIVE]
114 [NO-USER-MODIFICATION] [USAGE <attributeUsage>] )
115 Specify an attribute type using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC
116 4512. The slapd parser extends the RFC 4512 definition by
117 allowing string forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the
118 attribute OID and attribute syntax OID. (See the
119 objectidentifier description.)
120
121 authz-policy <policy>
122 Used to specify which rules to use for Proxy Authorization.
123 Proxy authorization allows a client to authenticate to the
124 server using one user's credentials, but specify a different
125 identity to use for authorization and access control purposes.
126 It essentially allows user A to login as user B, using user A's
127 password. The none flag disables proxy authorization. This is
128 the default setting. The from flag will use rules in the
129 authzFrom attribute of the authorization DN. The to flag will
130 use rules in the authzTo attribute of the authentication DN.
131 The any flag, an alias for the deprecated value of both, will
132 allow any of the above, whatever succeeds first (checked in to,
133 from sequence. The all flag requires both authorizations to
134 succeed.
135
136 The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed
137 to perform proxy authorization. The authzFrom attribute in an
138 entry specifies which other users are allowed to proxy login to
139 this entry. The authzTo attribute in an entry specifies which
140 other users this user can authorize as. Use of authzTo rules
141 can be easily abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary
142 values to this attribute. In general the authzTo attribute must
143 be protected with ACLs such that only privileged users can
144 modify it. The value of authzFrom and authzTo describes an
145 identity or a set of identities; it can take five forms:
146
147 ldap:///<base>??[<scope>]?<filter>
148 dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern>
149 u[<mech>[<realm>]]:<pattern>
150 group[/objectClass[/attributeType]]:<pattern>
151 <pattern>
152
153 <dnstyle>:={exact|onelevel|children|subtree|regex}
154
155 The first form is a valid LDAP URI where the <host>:<port>, the
156 <attrs> and the <extensions> portions must be absent, so that
157 the search occurs locally on either authzFrom or authzTo. The
158 second form is a DN, with the optional style modifiers exact,
159 onelevel, children, and subtree for exact, onelevel, children
160 and subtree matches, which cause <pattern> to be normalized
161 according to the DN normalization rules, or the special regex
162 style, which causes the <pattern> to be treated as a POSIX
163 (''extended'') regular expression, as discussed in regex(7)
164 and/or re_format(7). A pattern of * means any non-anonymous DN.
165 The third form is a SASL id, with the optional fields <mech> and
166 <realm> that allow to specify a SASL mechanism, and eventually a
167 SASL realm, for those mechanisms that support one. The need to
168 allow the specification of a mechanism is still debated, and
169 users are strongly discouraged to rely on this possibility. The
170 fourth form is a group specification, consisting of the keyword
171 group, optionally followed by the specification of the group
172 objectClass and member attributeType. The group with DN
173 <pattern> is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the
174 values of the member attributeType are searched for the asserted
175 DN. For backwards compatibility, if no identity type is
176 provided, i.e. only <pattern> is present, an exact DN is
177 assumed; as a consequence, <pattern> is subjected to DN
178 normalization. Since the interpretation of authzFrom and
179 authzTo can impact security, users are strongly encouraged to
180 explicitly set the type of identity specification that is being
181 used. A subset of these rules can be used as third arg in the
182 authz-regexp statement (see below); significantly, the URI and
183 the dn.exact:<dn> forms.
184
185 authz-regexp <match> <replace>
186 Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user
187 names, such as provided by SASL subsystem, to an LDAP DN used
188 for authorization purposes. Note that the resultant DN need not
189 refer to an existing entry to be considered valid. When an
190 authorization request is received from the SASL subsystem, the
191 SASL USERNAME, REALM, and MECHANISM are taken, when available,
192 and combined into a name of the form
193
194 UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth
195
196 This name is then compared against the match POSIX
197 (''extended'') regular expression, and if the match is
198 successful, the name is replaced with the replace string. If
199 there are wildcard strings in the match regular expression that
200 are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.
201
202 UID=([^,]*),CN=.*
203
204 then the portion of the name that matched the wildcard will be
205 stored in the numbered placeholder variable $1. If there are
206 other wildcard strings in parenthesis, the matching strings will
207 be in $2, $3, etc. up to $9. The placeholders can then be used
208 in the replace string, e.g.
209
210 UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com
211
212 The replaced name can be either a DN, i.e. a string prefixed by
213 "dn:", or an LDAP URI. If the latter, the server will use the
214 URI to search its own database(s) and, if the search returns
215 exactly one entry, the name is replaced by the DN of that entry.
216 The LDAP URI must have no hostport, attrs, or extensions
217 components, but the filter is mandatory, e.g.
218
219 ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1)
220
221 The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly ldap. Note
222 that this search is subject to access controls. Specifically,
223 the authentication identity must have "auth" access in the
224 subject.
225
226 Multiple authz-regexp options can be given in the configuration
227 file to allow for multiple matching and replacement patterns.
228 The matching patterns are checked in the order they appear in
229 the file, stopping at the first successful match.
230
231
232 concurrency <integer>
233 Specify a desired level of concurrency. Provided to the
234 underlying thread system as a hint. The default is not to
235 provide any hint.
236
237 conn_max_pending <integer>
238 Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an anonymous
239 session. If requests are submitted faster than the server can
240 process them, they will be queued up to this limit. If the limit
241 is exceeded, the session is closed. The default is 100.
242
243 conn_max_pending_auth <integer>
244 Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an
245 authenticated session. The default is 1000.
246
247 defaultsearchbase <dn>
248 Specify a default search base to use when client submits a non-
249 base search request with an empty base DN. Base scoped search
250 requests with an empty base DN are not affected.
251
252 disallow <features>
253 Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to disallow
254 (default none). bind_anon disables acceptance of anonymous bind
255 requests. Note that this setting does not prohibit anonymous
256 directory access (See "require authc"). bind_simple disables
257 simple (bind) authentication. tls_2_anon disables forcing
258 session to anonymous status (see also
259 tls_authc)uponStartTLSoperationreceipt. tls_authc dissallow the
260 StartTLS operation if authenticated (see also tls_2_anon).
261
262 ditcontentrule ( <oid> [NAME <name>] [DESC <description>] [OBSOLETE]
263 [AUX <oids>] [MUST <oids>] [MAY <oids>] [NOT <oids>] )
264 Specify an DIT Content Rule using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in
265 RFC 4512. The slapd parser extends the RFC 4512 definition by
266 allowing string forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the
267 attribute OID and attribute syntax OID. (See the
268 objectidentifier description.)
269
270 gentlehup { on | off }
271 A SIGHUP signal will only cause a 'gentle' shutdown-attempt:
272 Slapd will stop listening for new connections, but will not
273 close the connections to the current clients. Future write
274 operations return unwilling-to-perform, though. Slapd
275 terminates when all clients have closed their connections (if
276 they ever do), or - as before - if it receives a SIGTERM signal.
277 This can be useful if you wish to terminate the server and start
278 a new slapd server with another database, without disrupting the
279 currently active clients. The default is off. You may wish to
280 use idletimeout along with this option.
281
282 idletimeout <integer>
283 Specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly closing an
284 idle client connection. A idletimeout of 0 disables this
285 feature. The default is 0.
286
287 include <filename>
288 Read additional configuration information from the given file
289 before continuing with the next line of the current file.
290
291 index_substr_if_minlen <integer>
292 Specify the minimum length for subinitial and subfinal indices.
293 An attribute value must have at least this many characters in
294 order to be processed by the indexing functions. The default is
295 2.
296
297 index_substr_if_maxlen <integer>
298 Specify the maximum length for subinitial and subfinal indices.
299 Only this many characters of an attribute value will be
300 processed by the indexing functions; any excess characters are
301 ignored. The default is 4.
302
303 index_substr_any_len <integer>
304 Specify the length used for subany indices. An attribute value
305 must have at least this many characters in order to be
306 processed. Attribute values longer than this length will be
307 processed in segments of this length. The default is 4. The
308 subany index will also be used in subinitial and subfinal index
309 lookups when the filter string is longer than the
310 index_substr_if_maxlen value.
311
312 index_substr_any_step <integer>
313 Specify the steps used in subany index lookups. This value sets
314 the offset for the segments of a filter string that are
315 processed for a subany index lookup. The default is 2. For
316 example, with the default values, a search using this filter
317 "cn=*abcdefgh*" would generate index lookups for "abcd", "cdef",
318 and "efgh".
319
320
321 localSSF <SSF>
322 Specifies the Security Strength Factor (SSF) to be given local
323 LDAP sessions, such as those to the ldapi:// listener. For a
324 description of SSF values, see sasl-secprops's minssf option
325 description. The default is 71.
326
327 loglevel <integer> [...]
328 Specify the level at which debugging statements and operation
329 statistics should be syslogged (currently logged to the
330 syslogd(8) LOG_LOCAL4 facility). They must be considered
331 subsystems rather than increasingly verbose log levels. Some
332 messages with higher priority are logged regardless of the
333 configured loglevel as soon as some logging is configured,
334 otherwise anything is logged at all. Log levels are additive,
335 and available levels are:
336 1 (0x1 trace) trace function calls
337 2 (0x2 packet) debug packet handling
338 4 (0x4 args) heavy trace debugging (function args)
339 8 (0x8 conns) connection management
340 16 (0x10 BER) print out packets sent and received
341 32 (0x20 filter) search filter processing
342 64 (0x40 config) configuration file processing
343 128 (0x80 ACL) access control list processing
344 256 (0x100 stats) stats log
345 connections/operations/results
346 512 (0x200 stats2) stats log entries sent
347 1024 (0x400 shell) print communication with shell
348 backends
349 2048 (0x800 parse) entry parsing
350 4096 (0x1000 cache) caching (unused)
351 8192 (0x2000 index) data indexing (unused)
352 16384 (0x4000 sync) LDAPSync replication
353 32768 (0x8000 none) only messages that get logged
354 whatever log level is set
355 The desired log level can be input as a single integer that
356 combines the (ORed) desired levels, both in decimal or in
357 hexadecimal notation, as a list of integers (that are ORed
358 internally), or as a list of the names that are shown between
359 brackets, such that
360
361 loglevel 129
362 loglevel 0x81
363 loglevel 128 1
364 loglevel 0x80 0x1
365 loglevel acl trace
366
367 are equivalent. The keyword any can be used as a shortcut to
368 enable logging at all levels (equivalent to -1). The keyword
369 none, or the equivalent integer representation, causes those
370 messages that are logged regardless of the configured loglevel
371 to be logged. In fact, if no loglevel (or a 0 level) is
372 defined, no logging occurs, so at least the none level is
373 required to have high priority messages logged.
374
375 moduleload <filename>
376 Specify the name of a dynamically loadable module to load. The
377 filename may be an absolute path name or a simple filename. Non-
378 absolute names are searched for in the directories specified by
379 the modulepath option. This option and the modulepath option are
380 only usable if slapd was compiled with --enable-modules.
381
382 modulepath <pathspec>
383 Specify a list of directories to search for loadable modules.
384 Typically the path is colon-separated but this depends on the
385 operating system.
386
387 objectclass ( <oid> [NAME <name>] [DESC <description>] [OBSOLETE]
388 [SUP <oids>] [{ ABSTRACT | STRUCTURAL | AUXILIARY }]
389 [MUST <oids>] [MAY <oids>] )
390 Specify an objectclass using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC
391 4512. The slapd parser extends the RFC 4512 definition by
392 allowing string forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the
393 object class OID. (See the objectidentifier description.)
394 Object classes are "STRUCTURAL" by default.
395
396 objectidentifier <name> { <oid> | <name>[:<suffix>] }
397 Define a string name that equates to the given OID. The string
398 can be used in place of the numeric OID in objectclass and
399 attribute definitions. The name can also be used with a suffix
400 of the form ":xx" in which case the value "oid.xx" will be used.
401
402 password-hash <hash> [<hash>...]
403 This option configures one or more hashes to be used in
404 generation of user passwords stored in the userPassword
405 attribute during processing of LDAP Password Modify Extended
406 Operations (RFC 3062). The <hash> must be one of {SSHA}, {SHA},
407 {SMD5}, {MD5}, {CRYPT}, and {CLEARTEXT}. The default is {SSHA}.
408
409 {SHA} and {SSHA} use the SHA-1 algorithm (FIPS 160-1), the
410 latter with a seed.
411
412 {MD5} and {SMD5} use the MD5 algorithm (RFC 1321), the latter
413 with a seed.
414
415 {CRYPT} uses the crypt(3).
416
417 {CLEARTEXT} indicates that the new password should be added to
418 userPassword as clear text.
419
420 Note that this option does not alter the normal user
421 applications handling of userPassword during LDAP Add, Modify,
422 or other LDAP operations.
423
424 password-crypt-salt-format <format>
425 Specify the format of the salt passed to crypt(3) when
426 generating {CRYPT} passwords (see password-hash) during
427 processing of LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations (RFC
428 3062).
429
430 This string needs to be in sprintf(3) format and may include one
431 (and only one) %s conversion. This conversion will be
432 substituted with a string of random characters from
433 [A-Za-z0-9./]. For example, "%.2s" provides a two character
434 salt and "$1$%.8s" tells some versions of crypt(3) to use an MD5
435 algorithm and provides 8 random characters of salt. The default
436 is "%s", which provides 31 characters of salt.
437
438 pidfile <filename>
439 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the slapd
440 server's process ID ( see getpid(2) ) if started without the
441 debugging command line option.
442
443 referral <url>
444 Specify the referral to pass back when slapd(8) cannot find a
445 local database to handle a request. If specified multiple
446 times, each url is provided.
447
448 replica-argsfile
449 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the slurpd
450 server's command line options if started without the debugging
451 command line option.
452
453 replica-pidfile
454 The ( absolute ) name of a file that will hold the slurpd
455 server's process ID ( see getpid(2) ) if started without the
456 debugging command line option.
457
458 replicationinterval
459 The number of seconds slurpd waits before checking the
460 replogfile for changes.
461
462 require <conditions>
463 Specify a set of conditions (separated by white space) to
464 require (default none). The directive may be specified globally
465 and/or per-database; databases inherit global conditions, so
466 per-database specifications are additive. bind requires bind
467 operation prior to directory operations. LDAPv3 requires
468 session to be using LDAP version 3. authc requires
469 authentication prior to directory operations. SASL requires
470 SASL authentication prior to directory operations. strong
471 requires strong authentication prior to directory operations.
472 The strong keyword allows protected "simple" authentication as
473 well as SASL authentication. none may be used to require no
474 conditions (useful to clear out globally set conditions within a
475 particular database); it must occur first in the list of
476 conditions.
477
478 reverse-lookup on | off
479 Enable/disable client name unverified reverse lookup (default is
480 off if compiled with --enable-rlookups).
481
482 rootDSE <file>
483 Specify the name of an LDIF(5) file containing user defined
484 attributes for the root DSE. These attributes are returned in
485 addition to the attributes normally produced by slapd.
486
487 sasl-host <fqdn>
488 Used to specify the fully qualified domain name used for SASL
489 processing.
490
491 sasl-realm <realm>
492 Specify SASL realm. Default is empty.
493
494 sasl-secprops <properties>
495 Used to specify Cyrus SASL security properties. The none flag
496 (without any other properties) causes the flag properties
497 default, "noanonymous,noplain", to be cleared. The noplain flag
498 disables mechanisms susceptible to simple passive attacks. The
499 noactive flag disables mechanisms susceptible to active attacks.
500 The nodict flag disables mechanisms susceptible to passive
501 dictionary attacks. The noanonymous flag disables mechanisms
502 which support anonymous login. The forwardsec flag require
503 forward secrecy between sessions. The passcred require
504 mechanisms which pass client credentials (and allow mechanisms
505 which can pass credentials to do so). The minssf=<factor>
506 property specifies the minimum acceptable security strength
507 factor as an integer approximate to effective key length used
508 for encryption. 0 (zero) implies no protection, 1 implies
509 integrity protection only, 56 allows DES or other weak ciphers,
510 112 allows triple DES and other strong ciphers, 128 allows RC4,
511 Blowfish and other modern strong ciphers. The default is 0.
512 The maxssf=<factor> property specifies the maximum acceptable
513 security strength factor as an integer (see minssf description).
514 The default is INT_MAX. The maxbufsize=<size> property
515 specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer size
516 allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536.
517
518 schemadn <dn>
519 Specify the distinguished name for the subschema subentry that
520 controls the entries on this server. The default is
521 "cn=Subschema".
522
523 security <factors>
524 Specify a set of security strength factors (separated by white
525 space) to require (see sasl-secprops's minssf option for a
526 description of security strength factors). The directive may be
527 specified globally and/or per-database. ssf=<n> specifies the
528 overall security strength factor. transport=<n> specifies the
529 transport security strength factor. tls=<n> specifies the TLS
530 security strength factor. sasl=<n> specifies the SASL security
531 strength factor. update_ssf=<n> specifies the overall security
532 strength factor to require for directory updates.
533 update_transport=<n> specifies the transport security strength
534 factor to require for directory updates. update_tls=<n>
535 specifies the TLS security strength factor to require for
536 directory updates. update_sasl=<n> specifies the SASL security
537 strength factor to require for directory updates.
538 simple_bind=<n> specifies the security strength factor required
539 for simple username/password authentication. Note that the
540 transport factor is measure of security provided by the
541 underlying transport, e.g. ldapi:// (and eventually IPSEC). It
542 is not normally used.
543
544 sizelimit {<integer>|unlimited}
545
546 sizelimit size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer> [...]
547 Specify the maximum number of entries to return from a search
548 operation. The default size limit is 500. Use unlimited to
549 specify no limits. The second format allows a fine grain
550 setting of the size limits. Extra args can be added on the same
551 line. See limits for an explanation of the different flags.
552
553 sockbuf_max_incoming <integer>
554 Specify the maximum incoming LDAP PDU size for anonymous
555 sessions. The default is 262143.
556
557 sockbuf_max_incoming_auth <integer>
558 Specify the maximum incoming LDAP PDU size for authenticated
559 sessions. The default is 4194303.
560
561 threads <integer>
562 Specify the maximum size of the primary thread pool. The
563 default is 16; the minimum value is 2.
564
565 timelimit {<integer>|unlimited}
566
567 timelimit time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer> [...]
568 Specify the maximum number of seconds (in real time) slapd will
569 spend answering a search request. The default time limit is
570 3600. Use unlimited to specify no limits. The second format
571 allows a fine grain setting of the time limits. Extra args can
572 be added on the same line. See limits for an explanation of the
573 different flags.
574
575 tool-threads <integer>
576 Specify the maximum number of threads to use in tool mode. This
577 should not be greater than the number of CPUs in the system.
578 The default is 1.
579
581 If slapd is built with support for Transport Layer Security, there are
582 more options you can specify.
583
584 TLSCipherSuite <cipher-suite-spec>
585 Permits configuring what ciphers will be accepted and the
586 preference order. <cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher
587 specification for OpenSSL. Example:
588
589 TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2
590
591 To check what ciphers a given spec selects, use:
592
593 openssl ciphers -v <cipher-suite-spec>
594
595 TLSCACertificateFile <filename>
596 Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the
597 Certificate Authorities that slapd will recognize.
598
599 TLSCACertificatePath <path>
600 Specifies the path of a directory that contains Certificate
601 Authority certificates in separate individual files. Usually
602 only one of this or the TLSCACertificateFile is used.
603
604 TLSCertificateFile <filename>
605 Specifies the file that contains the slapd server certificate.
606
607 TLSCertificateKeyFile <filename>
608 Specifies the file that contains the slapd server private key
609 that matches the certificate stored in the TLSCertificateFile
610 file. Currently, the private key must not be protected with a
611 password, so it is of critical importance that it is protected
612 carefully.
613
614 TLSDHParamFile <filename>
615 This directive specifies the file that contains parameters for
616 Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key exchange. This is required in
617 order to use a DSA certificate on the server. If multiple sets
618 of parameters are present in the file, all of them will be
619 processed. Note that setting this option may also enable
620 Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchanges in certain non-default
621 cipher suites. You should append "!ADH" to your cipher suites
622 if you have changed them from the default, otherwise no
623 certificate exchanges or verification will be done.
624
625 TLSRandFile <filename>
626 Specifies the file to obtain random bits from when
627 /dev/[u]random is not available. Generally set to the name of
628 the EGD/PRNGD socket. The environment variable RANDFILE can
629 also be used to specify the filename.
630
631 TLSVerifyClient <level>
632 Specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an
633 incoming TLS session, if any. The <level> can be specified as
634 one of the following keywords:
635
636 never This is the default. slapd will not ask the client for a
637 certificate.
638
639 allow The client certificate is requested. If no certificate
640 is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad
641 certificate is provided, it will be ignored and the
642 session proceeds normally.
643
644 try The client certificate is requested. If no certificate
645 is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad
646 certificate is provided, the session is immediately
647 terminated.
648
649 demand | hard | true
650 These keywords are all equivalent, for compatibility
651 reasons. The client certificate is requested. If no
652 certificate is provided, or a bad certificate is
653 provided, the session is immediately terminated.
654
655 Note that a valid client certificate is required in order
656 to use the SASL EXTERNAL authentication mechanism with a
657 TLS session. As such, a non-default TLSVerifyClient
658 setting must be chosen to enable SASL EXTERNAL
659 authentication.
660
661 TLSCRLCheck <level>
662 Specifies if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) of the CA
663 should be used to verify if the client certificates have not
664 been revoked. This requires TLSCACertificatePath parameter to be
665 set. <level> can be specified as one of the following keywords:
666
667 none No CRL checks are performed
668
669 peer Check the CRL of the peer certificate
670
671 all Check the CRL for a whole certificate chain
672
674 Options in this section only apply to the configuration file section
675 for the specified backend. They are supported by every type of
676 backend.
677
678 backend <databasetype>
679 Mark the beginning of a backend definition. <databasetype>
680 should be one of bdb, config, dnssrv, hdb, ldap, ldbm, ldif,
681 meta, monitor, null, passwd, perl, relay, shell, or sql,
682 depending on which backend will serve the database.
683
684
686 Options in this section only apply to the configuration file section
687 for the database in which they are defined. They are supported by
688 every type of backend. Note that the database and at least one suffix
689 option are mandatory for each database.
690
691 database <databasetype>
692 Mark the beginning of a new database instance definition.
693 <databasetype> should be one of bdb, config, dnssrv, hdb, ldap,
694 ldbm, ldif, meta, monitor, null, passwd, perl, relay, shell, or
695 sql, depending on which backend will serve the database.
696
697 lastmod on | off
698 Controls whether slapd will automatically maintain the
699 modifiersName, modifyTimestamp, creatorsName, and
700 createTimestamp attributes for entries. It also controls the
701 entryCSN and entryUUID attributes, which are needed by the
702 syncrepl provider. By default, lastmod is on.
703
704 limits <who> <limit> [<limit> [...]]
705 Specify time and size limits based on who initiated an
706 operation. The argument who can be any of
707
708 anonymous | users | [dn[.<style>]=]<pattern> |
709 group[/oc[/at]]=<pattern>
710
711 with
712
713 <style> ::= exact | base | onelevel | subtree | children
714 | regex | anonymous
715
716 The term anonymous matches all unauthenticated clients. The
717 term users matches all authenticated clients; otherwise an exact
718 dn pattern is assumed unless otherwise specified by qualifying
719 the (optional) key string dn with exact or base (which are
720 synonyms), to require an exact match; with onelevel, to require
721 exactly one level of depth match; with subtree, to allow any
722 level of depth match, including the exact match; with children,
723 to allow any level of depth match, not including the exact
724 match; regex explicitly requires the (default) match based on
725 POSIX (''extended'') regular expression pattern. Finally,
726 anonymous matches unbound operations; the pattern field is
727 ignored. The same behavior is obtained by using the anonymous
728 form of the who clause. The term group, with the optional
729 objectClass oc and attributeType at fields, followed by pattern,
730 sets the limits for any DN listed in the values of the at
731 attribute (default member) of the oc group objectClass (default
732 groupOfNames) whose DN exactly matches pattern.
733
734 The currently supported limits are size and time.
735
736 The syntax for time limits is time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer>,
737 where integer is the number of seconds slapd will spend
738 answering a search request. If no time limit is explicitly
739 requested by the client, the soft limit is used; if the
740 requested time limit exceeds the hard limit, the value of the
741 limit is used instead. If the hard limit is set to the keyword
742 soft, the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the
743 keyword unlimited, no hard limit is enforced. Explicit requests
744 for time limits smaller or equal to the hard limit are honored.
745 If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the soft
746 limit, and the hard limit is set to soft, to preserve the
747 original behavior.
748
749 The syntax for size limits is
750 size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer>, where integer is the
751 maximum number of entries slapd will return answering a search
752 request. If no size limit is explicitly requested by the
753 client, the soft limit is used; if the requested size limit
754 exceeds the hard limit, the value of the limit is used instead.
755 If the hard limit is set to the keyword soft, the soft limit is
756 used in either case; if it is set to the keyword unlimited, no
757 hard limit is enforced. Explicit requests for size limits
758 smaller or equal to the hard limit are honored. The unchecked
759 specifier sets a limit on the number of candidates a search
760 request is allowed to examine. The rationale behind it is that
761 searches for non-properly indexed attributes may result in large
762 sets of candidates, which must be examined by slapd(8) to
763 determine whether they match the search filter or not. The
764 unchecked limit provides a means to drop such operations before
765 they are even started. If the selected candidates exceed the
766 unchecked limit, the search will abort with Unwilling to
767 perform. If it is set to the keyword unlimited, no limit is
768 applied (the default). If it is set to disable, the search is
769 not even performed; this can be used to disallow searches for a
770 specific set of users. If no limit specifier is set, the value
771 is assigned to the soft limit, and the hard limit is set to
772 soft, to preserve the original behavior.
773
774 In case of no match, the global limits are used. The default
775 values are the same of sizelimit and timelimit; no limit is set
776 on unchecked.
777
778 If pagedResults control is requested, the hard size limit is
779 used by default, because the request of a specific page size is
780 considered an explicit request for a limitation on the number of
781 entries to be returned. However, the size limit applies to the
782 total count of entries returned within the search, and not to a
783 single page. Additional size limits may be enforced; the syntax
784 is size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited}, where integer is
785 the max page size if no explicit limit is set; the keyword
786 noEstimate inhibits the server from returning an estimate of the
787 total number of entries that might be returned (note: the
788 current implementation does not return any estimate). The
789 keyword unlimited indicates that no limit is applied to the
790 pagedResults control page size. The syntax
791 size.prtotal={<integer>|unlimited|disabled} allows to set a
792 limit on the total number of entries that a pagedResults control
793 allows to return. By default it is set to the hard limit. When
794 set, integer is the max number of entries that the whole search
795 with pagedResults control can return. Use unlimited to allow
796 unlimited number of entries to be returned, e.g. to allow the
797 use of the pagedResults control as a means to circumvent size
798 limitations on regular searches; the keyword disabled disables
799 the control, i.e. no paged results can be returned. Note that
800 the total number of entries returned when the pagedResults
801 control is requested cannot exceed the hard size limit of
802 regular searches unless extended by the prtotal switch.
803
804 maxderefdepth <depth>
805 Specifies the maximum number of aliases to dereference when
806 trying to resolve an entry, used to avoid infinite alias loops.
807 The default is 1.
808
809 overlay <overlay-name>
810 Add the specified overlay to this database. An overlay is a
811 piece of code that intercepts database operations in order to
812 extend or change them. Overlays are pushed onto a stack over the
813 database, and so they will execute in the reverse of the order
814 in which they were configured and the database itself will
815 receive control last of all.
816
817 readonly on | off
818 This option puts the database into "read-only" mode. Any
819 attempts to modify the database will return an "unwilling to
820 perform" error. By default, readonly is off.
821
822 replica uri=ldap[s]://<hostname>[:port]|host=<hostname>[:port]
823 [starttls=yes|critical] [suffix=<suffix> [...]]
824 bindmethod=simple|sasl [binddn=<simple DN>] [credentials=<simple
825 password>] [saslmech=<SASL mech>] [secprops=<properties>]
826 [realm=<realm>] [authcId=<authentication ID>]
827 [authzId=<authorization ID>] [attr[!]=<attr list>]
828 Specify a replication site for this database. Refer to the
829 "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for detailed information on
830 setting up a replicated slapd directory service. Zero or more
831 suffix instances can be used to select the subtrees that will be
832 replicated (defaults to all the database). host is deprecated
833 in favor of the uri option. uri allows the replica LDAP server
834 to be specified as an LDAP URI. A bindmethod of simple requires
835 the options binddn and credentials and should only be used when
836 adequate security services (e.g TLS or IPSEC) are in place. A
837 bindmethod of sasl requires the option saslmech. Specific
838 security properties (as with the sasl-secprops keyword above)
839 for a SASL bind can be set with the secprops option. A non-
840 default SASL realm can be set with the realm option. If the
841 mechanism will use Kerberos, a kerberos instance should be given
842 in authcId. An attr list can be given after the attr keyword to
843 allow the selective replication of the listed attributes only;
844 if the optional ! mark is used, the list is considered
845 exclusive, i.e. the listed attributes are not replicated. If an
846 objectClass is listed, all the related attributes are (are not)
847 replicated.
848
849 replogfile <filename>
850 Specify the name of the replication log file to log changes to.
851 The replication log is typically written by slapd(8) and read by
852 slurpd(8). See slapd.replog(5) for more information. The
853 specified file should be located in a directory with limited
854 read/write/execute access as the replication logs may contain
855 sensitive information.
856
857 restrict <oplist>
858 Specify a whitespace separated list of operations that are
859 restricted. If defined inside a database specification,
860 restrictions apply only to that database, otherwise they are
861 global. Operations can be any of add, bind, compare, delete,
862 extended[=<OID>], modify, rename, search, or the special pseudo-
863 operations read and write, which respectively summarize read and
864 write operations. The use of restrict write is equivalent to
865 readonly on (see above). The extended keyword allows to
866 indicate the OID of the specific operation to be restricted.
867
868 rootdn <dn>
869 Specify the distinguished name that is not subject to access
870 control or administrative limit restrictions for operations on
871 this database. This DN may or may not be associated with an
872 entry. An empty root DN (the default) specifies no root access
873 is to be granted. It is recommended that the rootdn only be
874 specified when needed (such as when initially populating a
875 database). If the rootdn is within a namingContext (suffix) of
876 the database, a simple bind password may also be provided using
877 the rootpw directive. Note that the rootdn is always needed when
878 using syncrepl.
879
880 rootpw <password>
881 Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn.
882 The password can only be set if the rootdn is within the
883 namingContext (suffix) of the database. This option accepts all
884 RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to the server (see password-
885 hash description) as well as cleartext. slappasswd(8) may be
886 used to generate a hash of a password. Cleartext and {CRYPT}
887 passwords are not recommended. If empty (the default),
888 authentication of the root DN is by other means (e.g. SASL).
889 Use of SASL is encouraged.
890
891 suffix <dn suffix>
892 Specify the DN suffix of queries that will be passed to this
893 backend database. Multiple suffix lines can be given and at
894 least one is required for each database definition. If the
895 suffix of one database is "inside" that of another, the database
896 with the inner suffix must come first in the configuration file.
897
898 subordinate [advertise]
899 Specify that the current backend database is a subordinate of
900 another backend database. A subordinate database may have only
901 one suffix. This option may be used to glue multiple databases
902 into a single namingContext. If the suffix of the current
903 database is within the namingContext of a superior database,
904 searches against the superior database will be propagated to the
905 subordinate as well. All of the databases associated with a
906 single namingContext should have identical rootdns. Behavior of
907 other LDAP operations is unaffected by this setting. In
908 particular, it is not possible to use moddn to move an entry
909 from one subordinate to another subordinate within the
910 namingContext.
911
912 If the optional advertise flag is supplied, the naming context
913 of this database is advertised in the root DSE. The default is
914 to hide this database context, so that only the superior context
915 is visible.
916
917 If the slap tools slapcat(8), slapadd(8), or slapindex(8) are
918 used on the superior database, any glued subordinates that
919 support these tools are opened as well.
920
921 Databases that are glued together should usually be configured
922 with the same indices (assuming they support indexing), even for
923 attributes that only exist in some of these databases. In
924 general, all of the glued databases should be configured as
925 similarly as possible, since the intent is to provide the
926 appearance of a single directory.
927
928 Note that the subordinate functionality is implemented
929 internally by the glue overlay and as such its behavior will
930 interact with other overlays in use. By default, the glue
931 overlay is automatically configured as the last overlay on the
932 superior backend. Its position on the backend can be explicitly
933 configured by setting an overlay glue directive at the desired
934 position. This explicit configuration is necessary e.g. when
935 using the syncprov overlay, which needs to follow glue in order
936 to work over all of the glued databases. E.g.
937 database bdb
938 suffix dc=example,dc=com
939 ...
940 overlay glue
941 overlay syncprov
942
943 syncrepl rid=<replica ID> provider=ldap[s]://<hostname>[:port]
944 [type=refreshOnly|refreshAndPersist] [interval=dd:hh:mm:ss]
945 [retry=[<retry interval> <# of retries>]+] searchbase=<base DN>
946 [filter=<filter str>] [scope=sub|one|base] [attrs=<attr list>]
947 [attrsonly] [sizelimit=<limit>] [timelimit=<limit>]
948 [schemachecking=on|off] [starttls=yes|critical]
949 [bindmethod=simple|sasl] [binddn=<dn>] [saslmech=<mech>]
950 [authcid=<identity>] [authzid=<identity>] [credentials=<passwd>]
951 [realm=<realm>] [secprops=<properties>] [logbase=<base DN>]
952 [logfilter=<filter str>] [syncdata=default|accesslog|changelog]
953 Specify the current database as a replica which is kept up-to-
954 date with the master content by establishing the current
955 slapd(8) as a replication consumer site running a syncrepl
956 replication engine. The replica content is kept synchronized to
957 the master content using the LDAP Content Synchronization
958 protocol. Refer to the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for
959 detailed information on setting up a replicated slapd directory
960 service using the syncrepl replication engine. rid identifies
961 the current syncrepl directive within the replication consumer
962 site. It is a non-negative integer having no more than three
963 digits. provider specifies the replication provider site
964 containing the master content as an LDAP URI. If <port> is not
965 given, the standard LDAP port number (389 or 636) is used. The
966 content of the syncrepl replica is defined using a search
967 specification as its result set. The consumer slapd will send
968 search requests to the provider slapd according to the search
969 specification. The search specification includes searchbase,
970 scope, filter, attrs, attrsonly, sizelimit, and timelimit
971 parameters as in the normal search specification. The scope
972 defaults to sub, the filter defaults to (objectclass=*), and
973 there is no default searchbase. The attrs list defaults to "*,+"
974 to return all user and operational attributes, and attrsonly is
975 unset by default. The sizelimit and timelimit only accept
976 "unlimited" and positive integers, and both default to
977 "unlimited". The LDAP Content Synchronization protocol has two
978 operation types. In the refreshOnly operation, the next
979 synchronization search operation is periodically rescheduled at
980 an interval time (specified by interval parameter; 1 day by
981 default) after each synchronization operation finishes. In the
982 refreshAndPersist operation, a synchronization search remains
983 persistent in the provider slapd. Further updates to the master
984 replica will generate searchResultEntry to the consumer slapd as
985 the search responses to the persistent synchronization search.
986 If an error occurs during replication, the consumer will attempt
987 to reconnect according to the retry parameter which is a list of
988 the <retry interval> and <# of retries> pairs. For example,
989 retry="60 10 300 3" lets the consumer retry every 60 seconds for
990 the first 10 times and then retry every 300 seconds for the next
991 3 times before stop retrying. The `+' in <# of retries> means
992 indefinite number of retries until success. The schema checking
993 can be enforced at the LDAP Sync consumer site by turning on the
994 schemachecking parameter. The default is off. The starttls
995 parameter specifies use of the StartTLS extended operation to
996 establish a TLS session before Binding to the provider. If the
997 StartTLS request fails and the critical argument was used, the
998 session will be aborted. Otherwise the syncrepl session
999 continues without TLS. A bindmethod of simple requires the
1000 options binddn and credentials and should only be used when
1001 adequate security services (e.g. TLS or IPSEC) are in place. A
1002 bindmethod of sasl requires the option saslmech. Depending on
1003 the mechanism, an authentication identity and/or credentials can
1004 be specified using authcid and credentials. The authzid
1005 parameter may be used to specify an authorization identity.
1006 Specific security properties (as with the sasl-secprops keyword
1007 above) for a SASL bind can be set with the secprops option. A
1008 non default SASL realm can be set with the realm option.
1009
1010 Rather than replicating whole entries, the consumer can query
1011 logs of data modifications. This mode of operation is referred
1012 to as delta syncrepl. In addition to the above parameters, the
1013 logbase and logfilter parameters must be set appropriately for
1014 the log that will be used. The syncdata parameter must be set to
1015 either "accesslog" if the log conforms to the slapo-accesslog(5)
1016 log format, or "changelog" if the log conforms to the obsolete
1017 changelog format. If the syncdata parameter is omitted or set to
1018 "default" then the log parameters are ignored.
1019
1020 updatedn <dn>
1021 This option is only applicable in a slave database updated using
1022 slurpd(8). It specifies the DN permitted to update (subject to
1023 access controls) the replica (typically, this is the DN
1024 slurpd(8) binds to update the replica). Generally, this DN
1025 should not be the same as the rootdn used at the master.
1026
1027 updateref <url>
1028 Specify the referral to pass back when slapd(8) is asked to
1029 modify a replicated local database. If specified multiple
1030 times, each url is provided.
1031
1032
1034 Each database may allow specific configuration options; they are
1035 documented separately in the backends' manual pages.
1036
1038 The following backends can be compiled into slapd. They are documented
1039 in the slapd-<backend>[22m(5) manual pages.
1040
1041 bdb This is the recommended primary backend for a normal slapd
1042 database. It takes care to configure it properly. It uses the
1043 transactional database interface of the Sleepycat Berkeley DB
1044 (BDB) package to store data.
1045
1046 config This backend is used to manage the configuration of slapd run-
1047 time.
1048
1049 dnssrv This backend is experimental. It serves up referrals based upon
1050 SRV resource records held in the Domain Name System.
1051
1052 hdb This is a variant of the BDB backend that uses a hierarchical
1053 database layout which supports subtree renames.
1054
1055 ldap This backend acts as a proxy to forward incoming requests to
1056 another LDAP server.
1057
1058 ldbm This is an easy-to-configure but obsolete database backend. It
1059 does not offer the data durability features of the BDB and HDB
1060 backends and hence is deprecated in favor of these robust
1061 backends. LDBM uses lightweight non-transactional DB
1062 interfaces, such as those providing by GDBM or Berkeley DB, to
1063 store data.
1064
1065 ldif This database uses the filesystem to build the tree structure of
1066 the database, using plain ascii files to store data. Its usage
1067 should be limited to very simple databases, where performance is
1068 not a requirement.
1069
1070 meta This backend performs basic LDAP proxying with respect to a set
1071 of remote LDAP servers. It is an enhancement of the ldap
1072 backend.
1073
1074 monitor
1075 This backend provides information about the running status of
1076 the slapd daemon.
1077
1078 null Operations in this backend succeed but do nothing.
1079
1080 passwd This backend is provided for demonstration purposes only. It
1081 serves up user account information from the system passwd(5)
1082 file.
1083
1084 perl This backend embeds a perl(1) interpreter into slapd. It runs
1085 Perl subroutines to implement LDAP operations.
1086
1087 relay This backend is experimental. It redirects LDAP operations to
1088 another database in the same server, based on the naming context
1089 of the request. Its use requires the rwm overlay (see slapo-
1090 rwm(5) for details) to rewrite the naming context of the
1091 request. It is primarily intended to implement virtual views on
1092 databases that actually store data.
1093
1094 shell This backend executes external programs to implement LDAP
1095 operations. It is primarily intended to be used in prototypes.
1096
1097 sql This backend is experimental. It services LDAP requests from an
1098 SQL database.
1099
1101 The following overlays can be compiled into slapd. They are documented
1102 in the slapo-<overlay>[22m(5) manual pages.
1103
1104 accesslog
1105 Access Logging. This overlay can record accesses to a given
1106 backend database on another database.
1107
1108 auditlog
1109 Audit Logging. This overlay records changes on a given backend
1110 database to an LDIF log file. By default it is not built.
1111
1112 chain Chaining. This overlay allows automatic referral chasing when a
1113 referral would have been returned, either when configured by the
1114 server or when requested by the client.
1115
1116 denyop Deny Operation. This overlay allows selected operations to be
1117 denied, similar to the restrict option.
1118
1119 dyngroup
1120 Dynamic Group. This is a demo overlay which extends the Compare
1121 operation to detect members of a dynamic group. It has no
1122 effect on any other operations.
1123
1124 dynlist
1125 Dynamic List. This overlay allows expansion of dynamic groups
1126 and more.
1127
1128 lastmod
1129 Last Modification. This overlay maintains a service entry in
1130 the database with the DN, modification type, modifiersName and
1131 modifyTimestamp of the last write operation performed on that
1132 database.
1133
1134 pcache Proxycache. This overlay allows caching of LDAP search requests
1135 in a local database. It is most often used with the ldap or
1136 meta backends.
1137
1138 ppolicy
1139 Password Policy. This overlay provides a variety of password
1140 control mechanisms, e.g. password aging, password reuse and
1141 duplication control, mandatory password resets, etc.
1142
1143 refint Referential Integrity. This overlay can be used with a backend
1144 database such as slapd-bdb(5) to maintain the cohesiveness of a
1145 schema which utilizes reference attributes.
1146
1147 retcode
1148 Return Code. This overlay is useful to test the behavior of
1149 clients when server-generated erroneous and/or unusual responses
1150 occur.
1151
1152 rwm Rewrite/remap. This overlay is experimental. It performs basic
1153 DN/data rewrite and objectClass/attributeType mapping.
1154
1155 syncprov
1156 Syncrepl Provider. This overlay implements the provider-side
1157 support for syncrepl replication, including persistent search
1158 functionality.
1159
1160 translucent
1161 Translucent Proxy. This overlay can be used with a backend
1162 database such as slapd-bdb(5) to create a "translucent proxy".
1163 Content of entries retrieved from a remote LDAP server can be
1164 partially overridden by the database.
1165
1166 unique Attribute Uniqueness. This overlay can be used with a backend
1167 database such as slapd-bdb(5) to enforce the uniqueness of some
1168 or all attributes within a subtree.
1169
1171 Here is a short example of a configuration file:
1172
1173 include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
1174 pidfile /var/slapd.pid
1175
1176 # Subtypes of "name" (e.g. "cn" and "ou") with the
1177 # option ";x-hidden" can be searched for/compared,
1178 # but are not shown. See slapd.access(5).
1179 attributeoptions x-hidden lang-
1180 access to attr=name;x-hidden by * =cs
1181
1182 # Protect passwords. See slapd.access(5).
1183 access to attrs=userPassword by * auth
1184 # Read access to other attributes and entries.
1185 access to * by * read
1186
1187 database bdb
1188 suffix "dc=our-domain,dc=com"
1189 # The database directory MUST exist prior to
1190 # running slapd AND should only be accessible
1191 # by the slapd/tools. Mode 0700 recommended.
1192 directory /var/openldap-data
1193 # Indices to maintain
1194 index objectClass eq
1195 index cn,sn,mail pres,eq,approx,sub
1196
1197 # We serve small clients that do not handle referrals,
1198 # so handle remote lookups on their behalf.
1199 database ldap
1200 suffix ""
1201 uri ldap://ldap.some-server.com/
1202 lastmod off
