Most of the overlays +are only allowed to be configured on individual databases, but some +may also be configured globally. + +Configuration options for each overlay are documented separately in the +corresponding +.BR slapo\-<overlay> (5) +manual pages. +.TP +.B accesslog +Access Logging. +This overlay can record accesses to a given backend database on another +database. +.TP +.B auditlog +Audit Logging. +This overlay records changes on a given backend database to an LDIF log +file. +By default it is not built. +.TP +.B chain +Chaining. +This overlay allows automatic referral chasing when a referral would +have been returned, either when configured by the server or when +requested by the client. +.TP +.B collect +Collective Attributes. +This overlay implements RFC 3671 collective attributes; these +attributes share common values over all the members of the collection +as inherited from an ancestor entry. +.TP +.B constraint +Constraint. +This overlay enforces a regular expression constraint on all values +of specified attributes. It is used to enforce a more rigorous +syntax when the underlying attribute syntax is too general. +.TP +.B dds +Dynamic Directory Services. +This overlay supports dynamic objects, which have a limited life after +which they expire and are automatically deleted. +.TP +.B dyngroup +Dynamic Group. +This is a demo overlay which extends the Compare operation to detect +members of a dynamic group. +It has no effect on any other operations. +.TP +.B dynlist +Dynamic List. +This overlay allows expansion of dynamic groups and more. +.TP +.B memberof +MemberOf. +This overlay maintains automatic reverse group membership values, +typically stored in an attribute called memberOf. +.TP +.B pbind +Proxybind. +This overlay forwards simple bind requests on a local database to a +remote LDAP server. +.TP +.B pcache +Proxycache. +This overlay allows caching of LDAP search requests in a local database. +It is most often used with the +.BR slapd\-ldap (5) +or +.BR slapd\-meta (5) +backends. +.TP +.B ppolicy +Password Policy. +This overlay provides a variety of password control mechanisms, +e.g. password aging, password reuse and duplication control, mandatory +password resets, etc. +.TP +.B refint +Referential Integrity. +This overlay can be used with a backend database such as +.BR slapd\-bdb (5) +to maintain the cohesiveness of a schema which utilizes reference +attributes. +.TP +.B retcode +Return Code. +This overlay is useful to test the behavior of clients when +server-generated erroneous and/or unusual responses occur. +.TP +.B rwm +Rewrite/remap. +This overlay is experimental. +It performs basic DN/data rewrite and +objectClass/attributeType mapping. +.TP +.B sssvlv +Server Side Sorting and Virtual List Views. +This overlay implements the RFC2891 server-side sorting control and +virtual list view controls, and replaces the RFC2696 paged-results +implementation to ensure it works with the sorting technique. +.TP +.B syncprov +Syncrepl Provider. +This overlay implements the provider-side support for +.B syncrepl +replication, including persistent search functionality. +.TP +.B translucent +Translucent Proxy. +This overlay can be used with a backend database such as +.BR slapd\-bdb (5) +to create a "translucent proxy". +Content of entries retrieved from a remote LDAP server can be partially +overridden by the database. +.TP +.B unique +Attribute Uniqueness. +This overlay can be used with a backend database such as +.BR slapd\-bdb (5) +to enforce the uniqueness of some or all attributes within a subtree. +.TP +.B valsort +Value Sorting. +This overlay can be used to enforce a specific order for the values +of an attribute when it is returned in a search. +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.d +default slapd configuration directory +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR slapo\-accesslog (5), +.BR slapo\-auditlog (5), +.BR slapo\-chain (5), +.BR slapo\-collect (5), +.BR slapo\-constraint (5), +.BR slapo\-dds (5), +.BR slapo\-dyngroup (5), +.BR slapo\-dynlist (5), +.BR slapo\-memberof (5), +.BR slapo\-pbind (5), +.BR slapo\-pcache (5), +.BR slapo\-ppolicy (5), +.BR slapo\-refint (5), +.BR slapo\-retcode (5), +.BR slapo\-rwm (5), +.BR slapo\-sssvlv (5), +.BR slapo\-syncprov (5), +.BR slapo\-translucent (5), +.BR slapo\-unique (5). +.BR slapo\-valsort (5). +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd.backends (5), +.BR slapd (8). +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
