This improve performance when a client requests all attributes +and get a huge binary attribute that is of no interest for it. +This behavior is disabled when the \fImanageDSAit\fP +control (RFC 3296) is used. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The config directives that are specific to the +.B cloak +overlay must be prefixed by +.BR cloak\- , +to avoid potential conflicts with directives specific to the underlying +database or to other stacked overlays. + +.TP +.B overlay cloak +This directive adds the cloak overlay to the current database, +or to the frontend, if used before any database instantiation; see +.BR slapd.conf (5) +for details. + +.LP +This +.B slapd.conf +configuration option is defined for the cloak overlay. It may have multiple +occurrences, and it must appear after the +.B overlay +directive: +.TP +.B cloak-attr <attribute> [<class>] +The value +.B <attribute> +is the name of the attribute that will be cloaked. + +The optional +.B <class> +restricts cloaking only to entries of the named +.B <class>. + +.SH EXAMPLE +This example hide the +.B jpegPhoto +attribute.
