It listens for LDAP connections on +any number of ports (default \fB389\fP), responding +to the LDAP operations it receives over these connections. +.B slapd +is typically invoked at boot time, usually out of +.BR /etc/rc.local . +Upon startup, +.B slapd +normally forks and disassociates itself from the invoking tty. +If configured in the config file (or config directory), +the +.B slapd +process will print its process ID (see +.BR getpid (2)) +to a +.B .pid +file, as well as the command line options during invocation to an +.B .args +file (see +.BR slapd.conf (5)). +If the +.B \-d +flag is given, even with a zero argument, +.B slapd +will not fork and disassociate from the invoking tty. +.LP +See the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more details on +.BR slapd . +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-4 +Listen on IPv4 addresses only. +.TP +.B \-6 +Listen on IPv6 addresses only. +.TP +.BI \-T \ tool +Run in Tool mode. The \fItool\fP argument selects whether to run as +.IR slapadd , +.IR slapcat , +.IR slapdn , +.IR slapindex , +.IR slappasswd , +.IR slapschema , +or +.I slaptest +(\fIslapacl\fP and \fIslapauth\fP need the entire \fBacl\fP and \fBauth\fP +option value to be spelled out, as \fBa\fP is reserved to +.IR slapadd ). +This option should be the first option specified when it is used; +any remaining options will be interpreted by the corresponding +slap tool program, according to the respective man pages. +Note that these tool programs will usually be symbolic links to +.BR slapd . +This option is provided for situations where symbolic links +are not provided or not usable. +.TP +.BI \-d \ debug-level +Turn on debugging as defined by +.IR debug-level . +If this option is specified, even with a zero argument, +.B slapd +will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general +operation and status messages are printed for any value of \fIdebug-level\fP. +\fIdebug-level\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a +different kind of debugging information. See <ldap_log.h> for details. +Comma-separated arrays of friendly names can be specified to select +debugging output of the corresponding debugging information. +All the names recognized by the \fIloglevel\fP directive +described in \fBslapd.conf\fP(5) are supported. +If \fIdebug-level\fP is \fB?\fP, a list of installed debug-levels is printed, +and slapd exits. + +Remember that if you turn on packet logging, packets containing bind passwords +will be output, so if you redirect the log to a logfile, that file should +be read-protected. +.TP +.BI \-s \ syslog-level +This option tells +.B slapd +at what debug-level debugging statements should be logged to the +.BR syslog (8) +facility. +The value \fIsyslog-level\fP can be set to any value or combination +allowed by the \fB\-d\fP switch. +Slapd logs all messages selected by \fIsyslog-level\fP +at the +.BR syslog (3) +severity debug-level \fBDEBUG\fP, +on the unit specified with \fB\-l\fP. +.TP +.BI \-n \ service-name +Specifies the service name for logging and other purposes. Defaults +to basename of argv[0], i.e.: "slapd". +.TP +.BI \-l \ syslog-local-user +Selects the local user of the +.BR syslog (8) +facility. Value can be +.BR LOCAL0 , +through +.BR LOCAL7 , +as well as +.B USER +and +.BR DAEMON . +The default is +.BR LOCAL4 . +However, this option is only permitted on systems that support +local users with the +.BR syslog (8) +facility. +Logging to syslog(8) occurs at the "DEBUG" severity debug-level. +.TP +.BI \-f \ slapd-config-file +Specifies the slapd configuration file. The default is +.BR ETCDIR/slapd.conf . +.TP +.BI \-F \ slapd-config-directory +Specifies the slapd configuration directory. The default is +.BR ETCDIR/slapd.d . +If both +.B \-f +and +.B \-F +are specified, the config file will be read and converted to +config directory format and written to the specified directory. +If neither option is specified, slapd will attempt to read the +default config directory before trying to use the default +config file. If a valid config directory exists then the +default config file is ignored. All of the slap tools that +use the config options observe this same behavior. +.TP +.BI \-h \ URLlist +.B slapd +will by default serve +.B ldap:/// +(LDAP over TCP on all interfaces on default LDAP port). That is, +it will bind using INADDR_ANY and port \fB389\fP. +The +.B \-h +option may be used to specify LDAP (and other scheme) URLs to serve. +For example, if slapd is given +.BR "\-h \(dqldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:/// ldapi:///\(dq" , +it will listen on 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP, 0.0.0.0:636 for LDAP over TLS, +and LDAP over IPC (Unix domain sockets). Host 0.0.0.0 represents +INADDR_ANY (any interface). +A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLs should be of +the LDAP, LDAPS, or LDAPI schemes, and generally +without a DN or other optional parameters (excepting as discussed below). +Support for the latter two schemes depends on selected configuration +options. Hosts may be specified by name or IPv4 and IPv6 address formats. +Ports, if specified, must be numeric. The default ldap:// port is \fB389\fP +and the default ldaps:// port is \fB636\fP. + +For LDAP over IPC, +.B name +is the name of the socket, and no +.B port +is required, nor allowed; note that directory separators must be +URL-encoded, like any other characters that are special to URLs; +so the socket + + /usr/local/var/ldapi + +must be specified as + + ldapi://%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Fvar%2Fldapi + +The default location for the IPC socket is LOCALSTATEDIR/run/ldapi + +The listener permissions are indicated by +"x\-mod=\-rwxrwxrwx", "x\-mod=0777" or "x\-mod=777", where any +of the "rwx" can be "\-" to suppress the related permission, while any +of the "7" can be any legal octal digit, according to chmod(1). +The listeners can take advantage of the "x\-mod" +extension to apply rough limitations to operations, e.g. allow read operations +("r", which applies to search and compare), write operations ("w", +which applies to add, delete, modify and modrdn), and execute operations +("x", which means bind is required). +"User" permissions apply to authenticated users, while "other" apply +to anonymous users; "group" permissions are ignored. +For example, "ldap:///????x\-mod=\-rw\-\-\-\-\-\-\-" means that read and write is only allowed +for authenticated connections, and bind is required for all operations. +This feature is experimental, and requires to be manually enabled +at configure time. +.TP +.BI \-r \ directory +Specifies a directory to become the root directory. slapd will +change the current working directory to this directory and +then +.BR chroot (2) +to this directory. This is done after opening listeners but before +reading any configuration file or initializing any backend. When +used as a security mechanism, it should be used in conjunction with +.B \-u +and +.B \-g +options. +.TP +.BI \-u \ user +.B slapd +will run slapd with the specified user name or id, and that user's +supplementary group access list as set with initgroups(3). The group ID +is also changed to this user's gid, unless the \fB\-g\fP option is used to +override. Note when used with +.BR \-r , +slapd will use the user database in the change root environment. + +Note that on some systems, running as a non-privileged user will prevent +passwd back-ends from accessing the encrypted passwords. Note also that +any shell back-ends will run as the specified non-privileged user. +.TP +.BI \-g \ group +.B slapd +will run with the specified group name or id. Note when used with +.BR \-r , +slapd will use the group database in the change root environment. +.TP +.BI \-c \ cookie +This option provides a cookie for the syncrepl replication consumer. +The cookie is a comma separated list of \fIname=value\fP pairs. +Currently supported syncrepl cookie fields are +.BR rid , +.BR sid , +and +.BR csn . +.B rid +identifies a replication thread within the consumer server +and is used to find the syncrepl specification in +.BR slapd.conf (5) +or +.BR slapd\-config (5) +having the matching replication identifier in its definition. The +.B rid +must be provided in order for any other specified values to be used. +.B sid +is the server id in a multi-master/mirror-mode configuration. +.B csn +is the commit sequence number received by a previous synchronization +and represents the state of the consumer replica content which the +syncrepl engine will synchronize to the current provider content. +In case of \fImirror-mode\fP or \fImulti-master\fP replication agreement, +multiple +.B csn +values, semicolon separated, can appear. +Use only the +.B rid +part to force a full reload. +.TP +.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR] +This option provides a generic means to specify options without the need to reserve +a separate letter for them. + +It supports the following options: +.RS +.TP +.BR slp= { on \||\| off \||\| \fIslp-attrs\fP } +When SLP support is compiled into slapd, disable it (\fBoff\fP), + enable it by registering at SLP DAs without specific SLP attributes (\fBon\fP), +or with specific SLP attributes +.I slp-attrs +that must be an SLP attribute list definition according to the SLP standard. + +For example, \fB"slp=(tree=production),(server-type=OpenLDAP),(server\-version=2.4.15)"\fP +registers at SLP DAs with the three SLP attributes tree, server-type and server-version +that have the values given above. +This allows one to specifically query the SLP DAs for LDAP servers holding the +.I production +tree in case multiple trees are available. +.RE +.SH EXAMPLES +To start +.I slapd +and have it fork and detach from the terminal and start serving +the LDAP databases defined in the default config file, just type: +.LP +.nf +.ft tt + LIBEXECDIR/slapd +.ft +.fi +.LP +To start +.B slapd +with an alternate configuration file, and turn +on voluminous debugging which will be printed on standard error, type: +.LP +.nf +.ft tt + LIBEXECDIR/slapd \-f /var/tmp/slapd.conf \-d 255 +.ft +.fi +.LP +To test whether the configuration file is correct or not, type: +.LP +.nf +.ft tt + LIBEXECDIR/slapd \-Tt +.ft +.fi +.LP +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR ldap (3), +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.BR slapd.access (5), +.BR slapacl (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapauth (8), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapdn (8), +.BR slapindex (8), +.BR slappasswd (8), +.BR slapschema (8), +.BR slaptest (8). +.LP +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH BUGS +See http://www.openldap.org/its/ +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
