This +path can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. +The \fBLDAPRC\fP, if defined, should be the basename of a file +in the current working directory or in the user's home directory. +.LP +Environmental variables may also be used to augment the file based defaults. +The name of the variable is the option name with an added prefix of \fBLDAP\fP. +For example, to define \fBBASE\fP via the environment, set the variable +\fBLDAPBASE\fP to the desired value. +.LP +Some options are user-only. Such options are ignored if present +in the +.I ldap.conf +(or file specified by +.BR LDAPCONF ). +.LP +Thus the following files and variables are read, in order: +.nf + variable $LDAPNOINIT, and if that is not set: + system file ETCDIR/ldap.conf, + user files $HOME/ldaprc, $HOME/.ldaprc, ./ldaprc, + system file $LDAPCONF, + user files $HOME/$LDAPRC, $HOME/.$LDAPRC, ./$LDAPRC, + variables $LDAP<uppercase option name>. +.fi +Settings late in the list override earlier ones. +.SH SYNTAX +The configuration options are case-insensitive; +their value, on a case by case basis, may be case-sensitive. +.LP +Blank lines are ignored. +.br +Lines beginning with a hash mark (`#') are comments, and ignored. +.LP +Valid lines are made of an option's name (a sequence of non-blanks, +conventionally written in uppercase, although not required), +followed by a value. +The value starts with the first non-blank character after +the option's name, and terminates at the end of the line, +or at the last sequence of blanks before the end of the line. +The tokenization of the value, if any, is delegated to the handler(s) +for that option, if any. Quoting values that contain blanks +may be incorrect, as the quotes would become part of the value. +For example, + +.nf + # Wrong - erroneous quotes: + URI "ldap:// ldaps://" + + # Right - space-separated list of URIs, without quotes: + URI ldap:// ldaps:// + + # Right - DN syntax needs quoting for Example, Inc: + BASE ou=IT staff,o="Example, Inc",c=US + # or: + BASE ou=IT staff,o=Example\\2C Inc,c=US + + # Wrong - comment on same line as option: + DEREF never # Never follow aliases +.fi +.LP +A line cannot be longer than LINE_MAX, which should be more than 2000 bytes +on all platforms. +There is no mechanism to split a long line on multiple lines, either for +beautification or to overcome the above limit. +.SH OPTIONS +The different configuration options are: +.TP +.B URI <ldap[si]://[name[:port]] ...> +Specifies the URI(s) of an LDAP server(s) to which the +.I LDAP +library should connect.

Optionally, the +server's name can followed by a ':' and the port number the LDAP +server is listening on. If no port number is provided, the default +port for the scheme is used (389 for ldap://, 636 for ldaps://). +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 + +A space separated list of URIs may be provided. +.TP +.B BASE <base> +Specifies the default base DN to use when performing ldap operations. +The base must be specified as a Distinguished Name in LDAP format. +.TP +.B BINDDN <dn> +Specifies the default bind DN to use when performing ldap operations. +The bind DN must be specified as a Distinguished Name in LDAP format. +.B This is a user-only option. +.TP +.B DEREF <when> +Specifies how alias dereferencing is done when performing a search. The +.B <when> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B never +Aliases are never dereferenced. This is the default. +.TP +.B searching +Aliases are dereferenced in subordinates of the base object, but +not in locating the base object of the search. +.TP +.B finding +Aliases are only dereferenced when locating the base object of the search. +.TP +.B always +Aliases are dereferenced both in searching and in locating the base object +of the search. +.RE +.TP +.TP +.B HOST <name[:port] ...> +Specifies the name(s) of an LDAP server(s) to which the +.I LDAP +library should connect.

A space separated +list of hosts may be provided. +.B HOST +is deprecated in favor of +.BR URI . +.TP +.B NETWORK_TIMEOUT <integer> +Specifies the timeout (in seconds) after which the poll(2)/select(2) +following a connect(2) returns in case of no activity. +.TP +.B PORT <port> +Specifies the default port used when connecting to LDAP servers(s). +The port may be specified as a number. +.B PORT +is deprecated in favor of +.BR URI. +.TP +.B REFERRALS <on/true/yes/off/false/no> +Specifies if the client should automatically follow referrals returned +by LDAP servers. +The default is on. +Note that the command line tools +.BR ldapsearch (1) +&co always override this option. +.\" This should only be allowed via ldap_set_option(3) +.\".TP +.\".B RESTART <on/true/yes/off/false/no> +.\"Determines whether the library should implicitly restart connections (FIXME). +.TP +.B SIZELIMIT <integer> +Specifies a size limit (number of entries) to use when performing searches. +The number should be a non-negative integer. \fISIZELIMIT\fP of zero (0) +specifies a request for unlimited search size. Please note that the server +may still apply any server-side limit on the amount of entries that can be +returned by a search operation. +.TP +.B TIMELIMIT <integer> +Specifies a time limit (in seconds) to use when performing searches. +The number should be a non-negative integer. \fITIMELIMIT\fP of zero (0) +specifies unlimited search time to be used. Please note that the server +may still apply any server-side limit on the duration of a search operation. +.TP +.B VERSION {2|3} +Specifies what version of the LDAP protocol should be used. +.TP +.B TIMEOUT <integer> +Specifies a timeout (in seconds) after which calls to synchronous LDAP +APIs will abort if no response is received. Also used for any +.BR ldap_result (3) +calls where a NULL timeout parameter is supplied. +.SH SASL OPTIONS +If OpenLDAP is built with Simple Authentication and Security Layer support, +there are more options you can specify. +.TP +.B SASL_MECH <mechanism> +Specifies the SASL mechanism to use. +.TP +.B SASL_REALM <realm> +Specifies the SASL realm. +.TP +.B SASL_AUTHCID <authcid> +Specifies the authentication identity. +.B This is a user-only option. +.TP +.B SASL_AUTHZID <authcid> +Specifies the proxy authorization identity. +.B This is a user-only option. +.TP +.B SASL_SECPROPS <properties> +Specifies Cyrus SASL security properties. The +.B <properties> +can be specified as a comma-separated list of the following: +.RS +.TP +.B none +(without any other properties) causes the properties +defaults ("noanonymous,noplain") to be cleared. +.TP +.B noplain +disables mechanisms susceptible to simple passive attacks. +.TP +.B noactive +disables mechanisms susceptible to active attacks. +.TP +.B nodict +disables mechanisms susceptible to passive dictionary attacks. +.TP +.B noanonymous +disables mechanisms which support anonymous login. +.TP +.B forwardsec +requires forward secrecy between sessions. +.TP +.B passcred +requires mechanisms which pass client credentials (and allows +mechanisms which can pass credentials to do so). +.TP +.B minssf=<factor> +specifies the minimum acceptable +.I security strength factor +as an integer approximating the effective key length used for +encryption. 0 (zero) implies no protection, 1 implies integrity +protection only, 56 allows DES or other weak ciphers, 112 +allows triple DES and other strong ciphers, 128 allows RC4, +Blowfish and other modern strong ciphers. The default is 0. +.TP +.B maxssf=<factor> +specifies the maximum acceptable +.I security strength factor +as an integer (see +.B minssf +description). The default is +.BR INT_MAX . +.TP +.B maxbufsize=<factor> +specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer +size allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536. +.RE +.TP +.B SASL_NOCANON <on/true/yes/off/false/no> +Do not perform reverse DNS lookups to canonicalize SASL host names. The default is off. +.SH GSSAPI OPTIONS +If OpenLDAP is built with Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface support, +there are more options you can specify. +.TP +.B GSSAPI_SIGN <on/true/yes/off/false/no> +Specifies if GSSAPI signing (GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG) should be used. +The default is off. +.TP +.B GSSAPI_ENCRYPT <on/true/yes/off/false/no> +Specifies if GSSAPI encryption (GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG and GSS_C_CONF_FLAG) +should be used.

The default is off. +.SH TLS OPTIONS +If OpenLDAP is built with Transport Layer Security support, there +are more options you can specify. These options are used when an +.B ldaps:// URI +is selected (by default or otherwise) or when the application +negotiates TLS by issuing the LDAP StartTLS operation. +.TP +.B TLS_CACERT <filename> +Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the Certificate +Authorities the client will recognize. +.TP +.B TLS_CACERTDIR <path> +Specifies the path of a directory that contains Certificate Authority +certificates in separate individual files. The +.B TLS_CACERT +is always used before +.B TLS_CACERTDIR. +This parameter is ignored with GnuTLS. + +When using Mozilla NSS, <path> may contain a Mozilla NSS cert/key +database. If <path> contains a Mozilla NSS cert/key database and +CA cert files, OpenLDAP will use the cert/key database and will +ignore the CA cert files. +.TP +.B TLS_CERT <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the client certificate. +.B This is a user-only option. + +When using Mozilla NSS, if using a cert/key database (specified with +TLS_CACERTDIR), TLS_CERT specifies the name of the certificate to use: +.nf + TLS_CERT Certificate for Sam Carter +.fi +If using a token other than the internal built in token, specify the +token name first, followed by a colon: +.nf + TLS_CERT my hardware device:Certificate for Sam Carter +.fi +Use certutil \-L to list the certificates by name: +.nf + certutil \-d /path/to/certdbdir \-L +.fi +.TP +.B TLS_ECNAME <name> +Specify the name of the curve(s) to use for Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman +ephemeral key exchange. This option is only used for OpenSSL. +This option is not used with GnuTLS; the curves may be +chosen in the GnuTLS ciphersuite specification. +.TP +.B TLS_KEY <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the private key that matches the certificate +stored in the +.B TLS_CERT +file. Currently, the private key must not be protected with a password, so +it is of critical importance that the key file is protected carefully. +.B This is a user-only option. + +When using Mozilla NSS, TLS_KEY specifies the name of a file that contains +the password for the key for the certificate specified with TLS_CERT. The +modutil command can be used to turn off password protection for the cert/key +database. For example, if TLS_CACERTDIR specifies /home/scarter/.moznss as +the location of the cert/key database, use modutil to change the password +to the empty string: +.nf + modutil \-dbdir ~/.moznss \-changepw 'NSS Certificate DB' +.fi +You must have the old password, if any. Ignore the WARNING about the running +browser. Press 'Enter' for the new password. + +.TP +.B TLS_CIPHER_SUITE <cipher-suite-spec> +Specifies acceptable cipher suite and preference order. +<cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher specification for +the TLS library in use (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, or Mozilla NSS). +Example: +.RS +.RS +.TP +.I OpenSSL: +TLS_CIPHER_SUITE HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2 +.TP +.I GnuTLS: +TLS_CIPHER_SUITE SECURE256:!AES-128-CBC +.RE + +To check what ciphers a given spec selects in OpenSSL, use: + +.nf + openssl ciphers \-v <cipher-suite-spec> +.fi + +With GnuTLS the available specs can be found in the manual page of +.BR gnutls\-cli (1) +(see the description of the +option +.BR \-\-priority ). + +In older versions of GnuTLS, where gnutls\-cli does not support the option +\-\-priority, you can obtain the \(em more limited \(em list of ciphers by calling: + +.nf + gnutls\-cli \-l +.fi + +When using Mozilla NSS, the OpenSSL cipher suite specifications are used and +translated into the format used internally by Mozilla NSS. There isn't an easy +way to list the cipher suites from the command line. The authoritative list +is in the source code for Mozilla NSS in the file sslinfo.c in the structure +.nf + static const SSLCipherSuiteInfo suiteInfo[] +.fi +.RE +.TP +.B TLS_PROTOCOL_MIN <major>[.<minor>] +Specifies minimum SSL/TLS protocol version that will be negotiated. +If the server doesn't support at least that version, +the SSL handshake will fail. +To require TLS 1.x or higher, set this option to 3.(x+1), +e.g., + +.nf + TLS_PROTOCOL_MIN 3.2 +.fi + +would require TLS 1.1. +Specifying a minimum that is higher than that supported by the +OpenLDAP implementation will result in it requiring the +highest level that it does support. +This parameter is ignored with GnuTLS. +.TP +.B TLS_RANDFILE <filename> +Specifies the file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random is +not available. Generally set to the name of the EGD/PRNGD socket. +The environment variable RANDFILE can also be used to specify the filename. +This parameter is ignored with GnuTLS and Mozilla NSS. +.TP +.B TLS_REQCERT <level> +Specifies what checks to perform on server certificates in a TLS session, +if any. The +.B <level> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B never +The client will not request or check any server certificate. +.TP +.B allow +The server certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided, +the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided, it will +be ignored and the session proceeds normally. +.TP +.B try +The server certificate is requested.

The server certificate is requested. If no +certificate is provided, or a bad certificate is provided, the session +is immediately terminated. This is the default setting. +.RE +.TP +.B TLS_REQSAN <level> +Specifies what checks to perform on the subjectAlternativeName +(SAN) extensions in a server certificate when validating the certificate +name against the specified hostname of the server. The +.B <level> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B never +The client will not check any SAN in the certificate. +.TP +.B allow +The SAN is checked against the specified hostname. If a SAN is +present but none match the specified hostname, the SANs are ignored +and the usual check against the certificate DN is used. +This is the default setting. +.TP +.B try +The SAN is checked against the specified hostname. If no SAN is present +in the server certificate, the usual check against the certificate DN +is used. If a SAN is present but doesn't match the specified hostname, +the session is immediately terminated. This setting may be preferred +when a mix of certs with and without SANs are in use. +.TP +.B demand | hard +These keywords are equivalent. The SAN is checked against the specified +hostname. If no SAN is present in the server certificate, or no SANs +match, the session is immediately terminated. This setting should be +used when only certificates with SANs are in use. +.RE +.TP +.B TLS_CRLCHECK <level> +Specifies if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) of the CA should be +used to verify if the server certificates have not been revoked. This +requires +.B TLS_CACERTDIR +parameter to be set. This parameter is ignored with GnuTLS and Mozilla NSS. +.B <level> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B none +No CRL checks are performed +.TP +.B peer +Check the CRL of the peer certificate +.TP +.B all +Check the CRL for a whole certificate chain +.RE +.TP +.B TLS_CRLFILE <filename> +Specifies the file containing a Certificate Revocation List to be used +to verify if the server certificates have not been revoked.

See Berkeley DB documentation for details on +.B DB_CONFIG +configuration options. +Where there is overlap, settings in +.B DB_CONFIG +take precedence. +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the \fBbdb\fP and \fBhdb\fP backend database. +That is, they must follow a "database bdb" or "database hdb" line and +come before any subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. +Other database options are described in the +.BR slapd.conf (5) +manual page. +.TP +.BI cachesize \ <integer> +Specify the size in entries of the in-memory entry cache maintained +by the \fBbdb\fP or \fBhdb\fP backend database instance. +The default is 1000 entries. +.TP +.BI cachefree \ <integer> +Specify the number of entries to free from the entry cache when the +cache reaches the \fBcachesize\fP limit. +The default is 1 entry. +.TP +.BI checkpoint \ <kbyte>\ <min> +Specify the frequency for checkpointing the database transaction log. +A checkpoint operation flushes the database buffers to disk and writes +a checkpoint record in the log. +The checkpoint will occur if either \fI<kbyte>\fP data has been written or +\fI<min>\fP minutes have passed since the last checkpoint. +Both arguments default to zero, in which case they are ignored. When +the \fI<min>\fP argument is non-zero, an internal task will run every +\fI<min>\fP minutes to perform the checkpoint. +See the Berkeley DB reference guide for more details. +.TP +.B checksum +Enable checksum validation of DB pages whenever they are read from disk. +This setting can only be configured before any database files are created. +.TP +.BI cryptfile \ <file> +Specify the pathname of a file containing an encryption key to use for +encrypting the database. Encryption is performed using Berkeley DB's +implementation of AES. Note that encryption can only be configured before +any database files are created, and changing the key can only be done +after destroying the current database and recreating it. Encryption is +not enabled by default, and some distributions of Berkeley DB do not +support encryption. +.TP +.BI cryptkey \ <key> +Specify an encryption key to use for encrypting the database. This option +may be used when a separate +.I cryptfile +is not desired. Only one of +.B cryptkey +or +.B cryptfile +may be configured. +.TP +.BI dbconfig \ <Berkeley-DB-setting> +Specify a configuration directive to be placed in the +.B DB_CONFIG +file of the database directory. The +.B dbconfig +directive is just a convenience +to allow all necessary configuration to be set in the +.B slapd.conf +file. +The options set using this directive will only be written to the +.B DB_CONFIG +file if no such file existed at server startup time, otherwise +they are completely ignored. This allows one +to set initial values without overwriting/destroying a +.B DB_CONFIG +file that was already customized through other means. +This directive may be specified multiple times, as needed. +For example: +.RS +.nf + dbconfig set_cachesize 0 1048576 0 + dbconfig set_lg_bsize 2097152 +.fi +.RE +.TP +.B dbnosync +Specify that on-disk database contents should not be immediately +synchronized with in memory changes. +Enabling this option may improve performance at the expense of data +security. +See the Berkeley DB reference guide for more details. +.TP +\fBdbpagesize \fR \fI<dbfile> <size>\fR +Specify the page size to use for a particular database file, in units +of 1024 bytes. The default for the +.B id2entry +file is 16, the default for all other files depends on the size of the +underlying filesystem's block size (typically 4 or 8). +The maximum that BerkeleyDB supports is 64. This +setting usually should not need to be changed, but if BerkeleyDB's +"db_stat \-d" shows a large amount of overflow pages in use in a file, +setting a larger size may increase performance at the expense of +data integrity. This setting only takes effect when a database is +being newly created. See the Berkeley DB reference guide for more details. +.TP +.BI directory \ <directory> +Specify the directory where the BDB files containing this database and +associated indexes live. +A separate directory must be specified for each database. +The default is +.BR LOCALSTATEDIR/openldap\-data . +.TP +.B dirtyread +Allow reads of modified but not yet committed data. +Usually transactions are isolated to prevent other operations from +accessing uncommitted data. +This option may improve performance, but may also return inconsistent +results if the data comes from a transaction that is later aborted. +In this case, the modified data is discarded and a subsequent search +will return a different result. +.TP +.BI dncachesize \ <integer> +Specify the maximum number of DNs in the in-memory DN cache. +Ideally this cache should be +large enough to contain the DNs of every entry in the database. If +set to a smaller value than the \fBcachesize\fP it will be silently +increased to equal the \fBcachesize\fP. The default value is 0 which +means unlimited, i.e. the DN cache will grow without bound. + +It should be noted that the \fBDN cache\fP is allowed to temporarily +grow beyond the configured size. It does this if many entries are +locked when it tries to do a purge, because that means they're +legitimately in use. Also, the \fBDN cache\fP never purges entries +that have cached children, so depending on the shape of the DIT, it +could have lots of cached DNs over the defined limit. +.TP +.BI idlcachesize \ <integer> +Specify the size of the in-memory index cache, in index slots. The +default is zero. A larger value will speed up frequent searches of +indexed entries. An \fBhdb\fP database needs a large \fBidlcachesize\fP +for good search performance, typically three times the +.B cachesize +(entry cache size) +or larger. +.TP +\fBindex \fR{\fI<attrlist>\fR|\fBdefault\fR} [\fBpres\fR,\fBeq\fR,\fBapprox\fR,\fBsub\fR,\fI<special>\fR] +Specify the indexes to maintain for the given attribute (or +list of attributes). +Some attributes only support a subset of indexes. +If only an \fI<attr>\fP is given, the indices specified for \fBdefault\fR +are maintained. +Note that setting a default does not imply that all attributes will be +indexed. Also, for best performance, an +.B eq +index should always be configured for the +.B objectClass +attribute. + +A number of special index parameters may be specified. +The index type +.B sub +can be decomposed into +.BR subinitial , +.BR subany ,\ and +.B subfinal +indices. +The special type +.B nolang +may be specified to disallow use of this index by language subtypes. +The special type +.B nosubtypes +may be specified to disallow use of this index by named subtypes. +Note: changing \fBindex\fP settings in +.BR slapd.conf (5) +requires rebuilding indices, see +.BR slapindex (8); +changing \fBindex\fP settings +dynamically by LDAPModifying "cn=config" automatically causes rebuilding +of the indices online in a background task. +.TP +.B linearindex +Tell +.B slapindex +to index one attribute at a time. By default, all indexed +attributes in an entry are processed at the same time. With this option, +each indexed attribute is processed individually, using multiple passes +through the entire database. This option improves +.B slapindex +performance +when the database size exceeds the \fBdbcache\fP size. When the \fBdbcache\fP is +large enough, this option is not needed and will decrease performance. +Also by default, +.B slapadd +performs full indexing and so a separate +.B slapindex +run is not needed. With this option, +.B slapadd +does no indexing and +.B slapindex +must be used. +.TP +.BR lockdetect \ { oldest | youngest | fewest | random | default } +Specify which transaction to abort when a deadlock is detected. +The default is +.BR random . +.TP +.BI mode \ <integer> +Specify the file protection mode that newly created database +index files should have. +The default is 0600. +.TP +.BI searchstack \ <depth> +Specify the depth of the stack used for search filter evaluation. +Search filters are evaluated on a stack to accommodate nested AND / OR +clauses. An individual stack is assigned to each server thread. +The depth of the stack determines how complex a filter can be +evaluated without requiring any additional memory allocation. Filters that +are nested deeper than the search stack depth will cause a separate +stack to be allocated for that particular search operation. These +allocations can have a major negative impact on server performance, +but specifying too much stack will also consume a great deal of memory. +Each search stack uses 512K bytes per level. The default stack depth +is 16, thus 8MB per thread is used. +.TP +.BI shm_key \ <integer> +Specify a key for a shared memory BDB environment. By default the +BDB environment uses memory mapped files. If a non-zero value is +specified, it will be used as the key to identify a shared memory +region that will house the environment. +.SH ACCESS CONTROL +The +.B bdb +and +.B hdb +backends honor access control semantics as indicated in +.BR slapd.access (5). +.SH FILES +.TP +.B ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default +.B slapd +configuration file +.TP +.B DB_CONFIG +Berkeley DB configuration file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.BR slapd\-mdb (5), +.BR slapd (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapindex (8), +Berkeley DB documentation. +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project +Originally begun by Kurt Zeilenga.

This configuration information is also used by the SLAPD tools +.BR slapacl (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapauth (8), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapdn (8), +.BR slapindex (8), +and +.BR slaptest (8). +.LP +The +.B config +backend is backward compatible with the older +.BR slapd.conf (5) +file but provides the ability to change the configuration dynamically +at runtime. If slapd is run with only a +.B slapd.conf +file dynamic changes will be allowed but they will not persist across +a server restart. Dynamic changes are only saved when slapd is running +from a +.B slapd.d +configuration directory. +.LP + +Unlike other backends, there can only be one instance of the +.B config +backend, and most of its structure is predefined. The root of the +database is hardcoded to +.B "cn=config" +and this root entry contains +global settings for slapd. Multiple child entries underneath the +root entry are used to carry various other settings: +.RS +.TP +.B cn=Module +dynamically loaded modules +.TP +.B cn=Schema +schema definitions +.TP +.B olcBackend=xxx +backend-specific settings +.TP +.B olcDatabase=xxx +database-specific settings +.RE + +The +.B cn=Module +entries will only appear in configurations where slapd +was built with support for dynamically loaded modules. There can be +multiple entries, one for each configured module path. Within each +entry there will be values recorded for each module loaded on a +given path. These entries have no children. + +The +.B cn=Schema +entry contains all of the hardcoded schema elements. +The children of this entry contain all user-defined schema elements. +In schema that were loaded from include files, the child entry will +be named after the include file from which the schema was loaded. +Typically the first child in this subtree will be +.BR cn=core,cn=schema,cn=config . + +.B olcBackend +entries are for storing settings specific to a single +backend type (and thus global to all database instances of that type). +At present there are no backends that implement settings of this +nature, so usually there will not be any olcBackend entries. + +.B olcDatabase +entries store settings specific to a single database +instance. These entries may have +.B olcOverlay +child entries corresponding +to any overlays configured on the database. The olcDatabase and +olcOverlay entries may also have miscellaneous child entries for +other settings as needed. There are two special database entries +that are predefined \- one is an entry for the config database itself, +and the other is for the "frontend" database. Settings in the +frontend database are inherited by the other databases, unless +they are explicitly overridden in a specific database. +.LP +The specific configuration options available are discussed below in the +Global Configuration Options, General Backend Options, and General Database +Options. Options are set by defining LDAP attributes with specific values. +In general the names of the LDAP attributes are the same as the corresponding +.B slapd.conf +keyword, with an "olc" prefix added on. + +The parser for many of these attributes is the same as used for parsing +the slapd.conf keywords. As such, slapd.conf keywords that allow multiple +items to be specified on one line, separated by whitespace, will allow +multiple items to be specified in one attribute value. However, when +reading the attribute via LDAP, the items will be returned as individual +attribute values. + +Backend-specific options are discussed in the +.B slapd\-<backend>(5) +manual pages. Refer to the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more +details on configuring slapd. +.SH GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS +Options described in this section apply to the server as a whole. +Arguments that should be replaced by +actual text are shown in brackets <>. + +These options may only be specified in the +.B cn=config +entry. This entry must have an objectClass of +.BR olcGlobal . + +.TP +.B olcAllows: <features> +Specify a set of features to allow (default none). +.B bind_v2 +allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests. Note that +.BR slapd (8) +does not truly implement LDAPv2 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494). +.B bind_anon_cred +allows anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g. +when DN is empty). +.B bind_anon_dn +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty. +.B update_anon +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) update operations to be processed +(subject to access controls and other administrative limits). +.B proxy_authz_anon +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) proxy authorization control to be processed +(subject to access controls, authorization and other administrative limits). +.TP +.B olcArgsFile: <filename> +The (absolute) name of a file that will hold the +.B slapd +server's command line (program name and options). +.TP +.B olcAttributeOptions: <option-name>... +Define tagging attribute options or option tag/range prefixes. +Options must not end with `\-', prefixes must end with `\-'. +The `lang\-' prefix is predefined. +If you use the +.B olcAttributeOptions +directive, `lang\-' will no longer be defined and you must specify it +explicitly if you want it defined. + +An attribute description with a tagging option is a subtype of that +attribute description without the option. +Except for that, options defined this way have no special semantics. +Prefixes defined this way work like the `lang\-' options: +They define a prefix for tagging options starting with the prefix. +That is, if you define the prefix `x\-foo\-', you can use the option +`x\-foo\-bar'. +Furthermore, in a search or compare, a prefix or range name (with +a trailing `\-') matches all options starting with that name, as well +as the option with the range name sans the trailing `\-'. +That is, `x\-foo\-bar\-' matches `x\-foo\-bar' and `x\-foo\-bar\-baz'. + +RFC 4520 reserves options beginning with `x\-' for private experiments. +Other options should be registered with IANA, see RFC 4520 section 3.5. +OpenLDAP also has the `binary' option built in, but this is a transfer +option, not a tagging option. +.TP +.B olcAuthIDRewrite: <rewrite\-rule> +Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names +to an LDAP DN used for authorization purposes. +Its purpose is analogous to that of +.BR olcAuthzRegexp +(see below). +The +.B rewrite\-rule +is a set of rules analogous to those described in +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +for data rewriting (after stripping the \fIrwm\-\fP prefix). +.B olcAuthIDRewrite +and +.B olcAuthzRegexp +should not be intermixed. +.TP +.B olcAuthzPolicy: <policy> +Used to specify which rules to use for Proxy Authorization. Proxy +authorization allows a client to authenticate to the server using one +user's credentials, but specify a different identity to use for authorization +and access control purposes. It essentially allows user A to login as user +B, using user A's password. +The +.B none +flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting. +The +.B from +flag will use rules in the +.I authzFrom +attribute of the authorization DN. +The +.B to +flag will use rules in the +.I authzTo +attribute of the authentication DN. +The +.B any +flag, an alias for the deprecated value of +.BR both , +will allow any of the above, whatever succeeds first (checked in +.BR to , +.B from +sequence. +The +.B all +flag requires both authorizations to succeed. +.LP +.RS +The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed +to perform proxy authorization. +The +.I authzFrom +attribute in an entry specifies which other users +are allowed to proxy login to this entry. The +.I authzTo +attribute in +an entry specifies which other users this user can authorize as. Use of +.I authzTo +rules can be easily +abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute. +In general the +.I authzTo +attribute must be protected with ACLs such that +only privileged users can modify it. +The value of +.I authzFrom +and +.I authzTo +describes an +.B identity +or a set of identities; it can take five forms: +.RS +.TP +.B ldap:///<base>??[<scope>]?<filter> +.RE +.RS +.B dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B u[<mech>[<realm>]]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B group[/objectClass[/attributeType]]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B <pattern> +.RE +.RS + +.B <dnstyle>:={exact|onelevel|children|subtree|regex} + +.RE +The first form is a valid LDAP +.B URI +where the +.IR <host>:<port> , +the +.I <attrs> +and the +.I <extensions> +portions must be absent, so that the search occurs locally on either +.I authzFrom +or +.IR authzTo . +The second form is a +.BR DN , +with the optional style modifiers +.IR exact , +.IR onelevel , +.IR children , +and +.I subtree +for exact, onelevel, children and subtree matches, which cause +.I <pattern> +to be normalized according to the DN normalization rules, or the special +.I regex +style, which causes the +.I <pattern> +to be treated as a POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, as +discussed in +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +A pattern of +.I * +means any non-anonymous DN. +The third form is a SASL +.BR id , +with the optional fields +.I <mech> +and +.I <realm> +that allow to specify a SASL +.BR mechanism , +and eventually a SASL +.BR realm , +for those mechanisms that support one. +The need to allow the specification of a mechanism is still debated, +and users are strongly discouraged to rely on this possibility. +The fourth form is a group specification, consisting of the keyword +.BR group , +optionally followed by the specification of the group +.B objectClass +and member +.BR attributeType . +The group with DN +.B <pattern> +is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the values of the +member +.B attributeType +are searched for the asserted DN. +For backwards compatibility, if no identity type is provided, i.e. only +.B <pattern> +is present, an +.I exact DN +is assumed; as a consequence, +.B <pattern> +is subjected to DN normalization. +Since the interpretation of +.I authzFrom +and +.I authzTo +can impact security, users are strongly encouraged +to explicitly set the type of identity specification that is being used. +A subset of these rules can be used as third arg in the +.B olcAuthzRegexp +statement (see below); significantly, the +.I URI +and the +.I dn.exact:<dn> +forms. +.RE +.TP +.B olcAuthzRegexp: <match> <replace> +Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names, +such as provided by SASL subsystem, to an LDAP DN used for +authorization purposes. Note that the resultant DN need not refer +to an existing entry to be considered valid. When an authorization +request is received from the SASL subsystem, the SASL +.BR USERNAME , +.BR REALM , +and +.B MECHANISM +are taken, when available, and combined into a name of the form +.RS +.RS +.TP +.B UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth + +.RE +This name is then compared against the +.B match +POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, and if the match is successful, +the name is replaced with the +.B replace +string. If there are wildcard strings in the +.B match +regular expression that are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B UID=([^,]*),CN=.* + +.RE +then the portion of the name that matched the wildcard will be stored +in the numbered placeholder variable $1. If there are other wildcard strings +in parenthesis, the matching strings will be in $2, $3, etc. up to $9. The +placeholders can then be used in the +.B replace +string, e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com + +.RE +The replaced name can be either a DN, i.e. a string prefixed by "dn:", +or an LDAP URI. +If the latter, the server will use the URI to search its own database(s) +and, if the search returns exactly one entry, the name is +replaced by the DN of that entry. The LDAP URI must have no +hostport, attrs, or extensions components, but the filter is mandatory, +e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1) + +.RE +The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly +.BR ldap . +Note that this search is subject to access controls. Specifically, +the authentication identity must have "auth" access in the subject. + +Multiple +.B olcAuthzRegexp +values can be specified to allow for multiple matching +and replacement patterns. The matching patterns are checked in the order they +appear in the attribute, stopping at the first successful match. + +.\".B Caution: +.\"Because the plus sign + is a character recognized by the regular expression engine, +.\"and it will appear in names that include a REALM, be careful to escape the +.\"plus sign with a backslash \\+ to remove the character's special meaning. +.RE +.TP +.B olcConcurrency: <integer> +Specify a desired level of concurrency. Provided to the underlying +thread system as a hint. The default is not to provide any hint. This setting +is only meaningful on some platforms where there is not a one to one +correspondence between user threads and kernel threads. +.TP +.B olcConnMaxPending: <integer> +Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an anonymous session. +If requests are submitted faster than the server can process them, they +will be queued up to this limit. If the limit is exceeded, the session +is closed. The default is 100. +.TP +.B olcConnMaxPendingAuth: <integer> +Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an authenticated session. +The default is 1000. +.TP +.B olcDisallows: <features> +Specify a set of features to disallow (default none). +.B bind_anon +disables acceptance of anonymous bind requests. Note that this setting +does not prohibit anonymous directory access (See "require authc"). +.B bind_simple +disables simple (bind) authentication. +.B tls_2_anon +disables forcing session to anonymous status (see also +.BR tls_authc ) +upon StartTLS operation receipt. +.B tls_authc +disallows the StartTLS operation if authenticated (see also +.BR tls_2_anon ). +.TP +.B olcGentleHUP: { TRUE | FALSE } +A SIGHUP signal will only cause a 'gentle' shutdown-attempt: +.B Slapd +will stop listening for new connections, but will not close the +connections to the current clients. Future write operations return +unwilling-to-perform, though. Slapd terminates when all clients +have closed their connections (if they ever do), or \- as before \- +if it receives a SIGTERM signal. This can be useful if you wish to +terminate the server and start a new +.B slapd +server +.B with another database, +without disrupting the currently active clients. +The default is FALSE. You may wish to use +.B olcIdleTimeout +along with this option. +.TP +.B olcIdleTimeout: <integer> +Specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly closing +an idle client connection. A setting of 0 disables this +feature. The default is 0. You may also want to set the +.B olcWriteTimeout +option. +.TP +.B olcIndexIntLen: <integer> +Specify the key length for ordered integer indices. The most significant +bytes of the binary integer will be used for index keys. The default +value is 4, which provides exact indexing for 31 bit values. +A floating point representation is used to index too large values. +.TP +.B olcIndexSubstrIfMaxlen: <integer> +Specify the maximum length for subinitial and subfinal indices. Only +this many characters of an attribute value will be processed by the +indexing functions; any excess characters are ignored. The default is 4. +.TP +.B olcIndexSubstrIfMinlen: <integer> +Specify the minimum length for subinitial and subfinal indices. An +attribute value must have at least this many characters in order to be +processed by the indexing functions. The default is 2. +.TP +.B olcIndexSubstrAnyLen: <integer> +Specify the length used for subany indices. An attribute value must have +at least this many characters in order to be processed. Attribute values +longer than this length will be processed in segments of this length. The +default is 4. The subany index will also be used in subinitial and +subfinal index lookups when the filter string is longer than the +.I olcIndexSubstrIfMaxlen +value. +.TP +.B olcIndexSubstrAnyStep: <integer> +Specify the steps used in subany index lookups. This value sets the offset +for the segments of a filter string that are processed for a subany index +lookup. The default is 2. For example, with the default values, a search +using this filter "cn=*abcdefgh*" would generate index lookups for +"abcd", "cdef", and "efgh". + +.LP +Note: Indexing support depends on the particular backend in use. Also, +changing these settings will generally require deleting any indices that +depend on these parameters and recreating them with +.BR slapindex (8). + +.TP +.B olcListenerThreads: <integer> +Specify the number of threads to use for the connection manager. +The default is 1 and this is typically adequate for up to 16 CPU cores. +The value should be set to a power of 2. +.TP +.B olcLocalSSF: <SSF> +Specifies the Security Strength Factor (SSF) to be given local LDAP sessions, +such as those to the ldapi:// listener. For a description of SSF values, +see +.BR olcSaslSecProps 's +.B minssf +option description. The default is 71. +.TP +.B olcLogFile: <filename> +Specify a file for recording debug log messages. By default these messages +only go to stderr and are not recorded anywhere else. Specifying a logfile +copies messages to both stderr and the logfile. +.TP +.B olcLogLevel: <integer> [...] +Specify the level at which debugging statements and operation +statistics should be syslogged (currently logged to the +.BR syslogd (8) +LOG_LOCAL4 facility). +They must be considered subsystems rather than increasingly verbose +log levels. +Some messages with higher priority are logged regardless +of the configured loglevel as soon as any logging is configured. +Log levels are additive, and available levels are: +.RS +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +.B 1 +.B (0x1 trace) +trace function calls +.TP +.B 2 +.B (0x2 packets) +debug packet handling +.TP +.B 4 +.B (0x4 args) +heavy trace debugging (function args) +.TP +.B 8 +.B (0x8 conns) +connection management +.TP +.B 16 +.B (0x10 BER) +print out packets sent and received +.TP +.B 32 +.B (0x20 filter) +search filter processing +.TP +.B 64 +.B (0x40 config) +configuration file processing +.TP +.B 128 +.B (0x80 ACL) +access control list processing +.TP +.B 256 +.B (0x100 stats) +stats log connections/operations/results +.TP +.B 512 +.B (0x200 stats2) +stats log entries sent +.TP +.B 1024 +.B (0x400 shell) +print communication with shell backends +.TP +.B 2048 +.B (0x800 parse) +entry parsing +\".TP +\".B 4096 +\".B (0x1000 cache) +\"caching (unused) +\".TP +\".B 8192 +\".B (0x2000 index) +\"data indexing (unused) +.TP +.B 16384 +.B (0x4000 sync) +LDAPSync replication +.TP +.B 32768 +.B (0x8000 none) +only messages that get logged whatever log level is set +.PD +.RE +The desired log level can be input as a single integer that combines +the (ORed) desired levels, both in decimal or in hexadecimal notation, +as a list of integers (that are ORed internally), +or as a list of the names that are shown between parenthesis, such that +.LP +.nf + olcLogLevel: 129 + olcLogLevel: 0x81 + olcLogLevel: 128 1 + olcLogLevel: 0x80 0x1 + olcLogLevel: acl trace +.fi +.LP +are equivalent. +The keyword +.B any +can be used as a shortcut to enable logging at all levels (equivalent to \-1). +The keyword +.BR none , +or the equivalent integer representation, causes those messages +that are logged regardless of the configured olcLogLevel to be logged. +In fact, if no olcLogLevel (or a 0 level) is defined, no logging occurs, +so at least the +.B none +level is required to have high priority messages logged. +.RE +.TP +.B olcPasswordCryptSaltFormat: <format> +Specify the format of the salt passed to +.BR crypt (3) +when generating {CRYPT} passwords (see +.BR olcPasswordHash ) +during processing of LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations (RFC 3062). + +This string needs to be in +.BR sprintf (3) +format and may include one (and only one) %s conversion. +This conversion will be substituted with a string of random +characters from [A\-Za\-z0\-9./]. For example, "%.2s" +provides a two character salt and "$1$%.8s" tells some +versions of crypt(3) to use an MD5 algorithm and provides +8 random characters of salt. The default is "%s", which +provides 31 characters of salt. +.TP +.B olcPidFile: <filename> +The (absolute) name of a file that will hold the +.B slapd +server's process ID (see +.BR getpid (2)). +.TP +.B olcPluginLogFile: <filename> +The ( absolute ) name of a file that will contain log +messages from +.B SLAPI +plugins.

Default is empty. +.TP +.B olcSaslSecProps: <properties> +Used to specify Cyrus SASL security properties. +The +.B none +flag (without any other properties) causes the flag properties +default, "noanonymous,noplain", to be cleared. +The +.B noplain +flag disables mechanisms susceptible to simple passive attacks. +The +.B noactive +flag disables mechanisms susceptible to active attacks. +The +.B nodict +flag disables mechanisms susceptible to passive dictionary attacks. +The +.B noanonymous +flag disables mechanisms which support anonymous login. +The +.B forwardsec +flag require forward secrecy between sessions. +The +.B passcred +require mechanisms which pass client credentials (and allow +mechanisms which can pass credentials to do so). +The +.B minssf=<factor> +property specifies the minimum acceptable +.I security strength factor +as an integer approximate to effective key length used for +encryption. 0 (zero) implies no protection, 1 implies integrity +protection only, 56 allows DES or other weak ciphers, 112 +allows triple DES and other strong ciphers, 128 allows RC4, +Blowfish and other modern strong ciphers. The default is 0. +The +.B maxssf=<factor> +property specifies the maximum acceptable +.I security strength factor +as an integer (see minssf description). The default is INT_MAX. +The +.B maxbufsize=<size> +property specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer +size allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536. +.TP +.B olcServerID: <integer> [<URL>] +Specify an integer ID from 0 to 4095 for this server (limited +to 3 hexadecimal digits). The ID may also be specified as a +hexadecimal ID by prefixing the value with "0x". +Non-zero IDs are +required when using multi-provider replication and each provider must have a +unique non-zero ID. Note that this requirement also applies to separate providers +contributing to a glued set of databases. +If the URL is provided, this directive may be specified +multiple times, providing a complete list of participating servers +and their IDs. The fully qualified hostname of each server should be +used in the supplied URLs. The IDs are used in the "replica id" field +of all CSNs generated by the specified server.

The authoritative list +is in the source code for Mozilla NSS in the file sslinfo.c in the structure +.nf + static const SSLCipherSuiteInfo suiteInfo[] +.fi +.RE +.TP +.B olcTLSCACertificateFile: <filename> +Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the Certificate +Authorities that +.B slapd +will recognize. +.TP +.B olcTLSCACertificatePath: <path> +Specifies the path of a directory that contains Certificate Authority +certificates in separate individual files. Usually only one of this +or the olcTLSCACertificateFile is defined. If both are specified, both +locations will be used. This directive is not supported +when using GnuTLS. + +When using Mozilla NSS, <path> may contain a Mozilla NSS cert/key +database. If <path> contains a Mozilla NSS cert/key database and +CA cert files, OpenLDAP will use the cert/key database and will +ignore the CA cert files. +.TP +.B olcTLSCertificateFile: <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the +.B slapd +server certificate. + +When using Mozilla NSS, if using a cert/key database (specified with +olcTLSCACertificatePath), olcTLSCertificateFile specifies +the name of the certificate to use: +.nf + olcTLSCertificateFile: Server-Cert +.fi +If using a token other than the internal built in token, specify the +token name first, followed by a colon: +.nf + olcTLSCertificateFile: my hardware device:Server-Cert +.fi +Use certutil \-L to list the certificates by name: +.nf + certutil \-d /path/to/certdbdir \-L +.fi +.TP +.B olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the +.B slapd +server private key that matches the certificate stored in the +.B olcTLSCertificateFile +file. If the private key is protected with a password, the password must +be manually typed in when slapd starts. Usually the private key is not +protected with a password, to allow slapd to start without manual +intervention, so +it is of critical importance that the file is protected carefully. + +When using Mozilla NSS, olcTLSCertificateKeyFile specifies the name of +a file that contains the password for the key for the certificate specified with +olcTLSCertificateFile. The modutil command can be used to turn off password +protection for the cert/key database. For example, if olcTLSCACertificatePath +specifes /etc/openldap/certdb as the location of the cert/key database, use +modutil to change the password to the empty string: +.nf + modutil \-dbdir /etc/openldap/certdb \-changepw 'NSS Certificate DB' +.fi +You must have the old password, if any. Ignore the WARNING about the running +browser. Press 'Enter' for the new password. + +.TP +.B olcTLSDHParamFile: <filename> +This directive specifies the file that contains parameters for Diffie-Hellman +ephemeral key exchange. This is required in order to use a DSA certificate on +the server, or an RSA certificate missing the "key encipherment" key usage. +Note that setting this option may also enable +Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchanges in certain non-default cipher suites. +Anonymous key exchanges should generally be avoided since they provide no +actual client or server authentication and provide no protection against +man-in-the-middle attacks. +You should append "!ADH" to your cipher suites to ensure that these suites +are not used. +When using Mozilla NSS these parameters are always generated randomly +so this directive is ignored. +.TP +.B olcTLSECName: <name> +Specify the name of the curve(s) to use for Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman +ephemeral key exchange. This option is only used for OpenSSL. +This option is not used with GnuTLS; the curves may be +chosen in the GnuTLS ciphersuite specification. This option is also +ignored for Mozilla NSS. +.TP +.B olcTLSProtocolMin: <major>[.<minor>] +Specifies minimum SSL/TLS protocol version that will be negotiated. +If the server doesn't support at least that version, +the SSL handshake will fail. +To require TLS 1.x or higher, set this option to 3.(x+1), +e.g., + +.nf + olcTLSProtocolMin: 3.2 +.fi + +would require TLS 1.1. +Specifying a minimum that is higher than that supported by the +OpenLDAP implementation will result in it requiring the +highest level that it does support. +This directive is ignored with GnuTLS. +.TP +.B olcTLSRandFile: <filename> +Specifies the file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random +is not available. Generally set to the name of the EGD/PRNGD socket. +The environment variable RANDFILE can also be used to specify the filename. +This directive is ignored with GnuTLS and Mozilla NSS. +.TP +.B olcTLSVerifyClient: <level> +Specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an +incoming TLS session, if any. +The +.B <level> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B never +This is the default. +.B slapd +will not ask the client for a certificate. +.TP +.B allow +The client certificate is requested.

This parameter +is only valid when using GnuTLS or Mozilla NSS. +.SH DYNAMIC MODULE OPTIONS +If +.B slapd +is compiled with \-\-enable\-modules then the module-related entries will +be available. These entries are named +.B cn=module{x},cn=config +and +must have the olcModuleList objectClass. One entry should be created +per +.B olcModulePath. +Normally the config engine generates the "{x}" index in the RDN +automatically, so it can be omitted when initially loading these entries. +.TP +.B olcModuleLoad: <filename> +Specify the name of a dynamically loadable module to load.

By default, olcLastMod is TRUE. +.TP +.B olcLimits: <selector> <limit> [<limit> [...]] +Specify time and size limits based on the operation's initiator or +base DN. +The argument +.B <selector> +can be any of +.RS +.RS +.TP +anonymous | users | [<dnspec>=]<pattern> | group[/oc[/at]]=<pattern> + +.RE +with +.RS +.TP +<dnspec> ::= dn[.<type>][.<style>] +.TP +<type> ::= self | this +.TP +<style> ::= exact | base | onelevel | subtree | children | regex | anonymous + +.RE +DN type +.B self +is the default and means the bound user, while +.B this +means the base DN of the operation. +The term +.B anonymous +matches all unauthenticated clients. +The term +.B users +matches all authenticated clients; +otherwise an +.B exact +dn pattern is assumed unless otherwise specified by qualifying +the (optional) key string +.B dn +with +.B exact +or +.B base +(which are synonyms), to require an exact match; with +.BR onelevel , +to require exactly one level of depth match; with +.BR subtree , +to allow any level of depth match, including the exact match; with +.BR children , +to allow any level of depth match, not including the exact match;

if the requested time limit exceeds the +.BR hard +.\"limit, an +.\".I "Administrative limit exceeded" +.\"error is returned. +limit, the value of the limit is used instead. +If the +.BR hard +limit is set to the keyword +.IR soft , +the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no hard limit is enforced. +Explicit requests for time limits smaller or equal to the +.BR hard +limit are honored. +If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the +.BR soft +limit, and the +.BR hard +limit is set to +.IR soft , +to preserve the original behavior. + +The syntax for size limits is +.BR size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer> , +where +.I integer +is the maximum number of entries slapd will return answering a search +request. +If no size limit is explicitly requested by the client, the +.BR soft +limit is used; if the requested size limit exceeds the +.BR hard +.\"limit, an +.\".I "Administrative limit exceeded" +.\"error is returned. +limit, the value of the limit is used instead. +If the +.BR hard +limit is set to the keyword +.IR soft , +the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no hard limit is enforced. +Explicit requests for size limits smaller or equal to the +.BR hard +limit are honored. +The +.BR unchecked +specifier sets a limit on the number of candidates a search request is allowed +to examine. +The rationale behind it is that searches for non-properly indexed +attributes may result in large sets of candidates, which must be +examined by +.BR slapd (8) +to determine whether they match the search filter or not. +The +.B unchecked +limit provides a means to drop such operations before they are even +started. +If the selected candidates exceed the +.BR unchecked +limit, the search will abort with +.IR "Unwilling to perform" . +If it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no limit is applied (the default). +If it is set to +.IR disable , +the search is not even performed; this can be used to disallow searches +for a specific set of users. +If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the +.BR soft +limit, and the +.BR hard +limit is set to +.IR soft , +to preserve the original behavior. + +In case of no match, the global limits are used. +The default values are the same as for +.B olcSizeLimit +and +.BR olcTimeLimit ; +no limit is set on +.BR unchecked . + +If +.B pagedResults +control is requested, the +.B hard +size limit is used by default, because the request of a specific page size +is considered an explicit request for a limitation on the number +of entries to be returned. +However, the size limit applies to the total count of entries returned within +the search, and not to a single page. +Additional size limits may be enforced; the syntax is +.BR size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited} , +where +.I integer +is the max page size if no explicit limit is set; the keyword +.I noEstimate +inhibits the server from returning an estimate of the total number +of entries that might be returned +(note: the current implementation does not return any estimate). +The keyword +.I unlimited +indicates that no limit is applied to the pagedResults control page size. +The syntax +.B size.prtotal={<integer>|unlimited|disabled} +allows one to set a limit on the total number of entries that the pagedResults +control will return. +By default it is set to the +.B hard +limit. +When set, +.I integer +is the max number of entries that the whole search with pagedResults control +can return. +Use +.I unlimited +to allow unlimited number of entries to be returned, e.g. to allow +the use of the pagedResults control as a means to circumvent size +limitations on regular searches; the keyword +.I disabled +disables the control, i.e. no paged results can be returned. +Note that the total number of entries returned when the pagedResults control +is requested cannot exceed the +.B hard +size limit of regular searches unless extended by the +.B prtotal +switch. +.RE +.TP +.B olcMaxDerefDepth: <depth> +Specifies the maximum number of aliases to dereference when trying to +resolve an entry, used to avoid infinite alias loops. The default is 15. +.TP +.B olcMirrorMode: TRUE | FALSE +This option puts a consumer database into "mirror" mode. Update +operations will be accepted from any user, not just the updatedn. The +database must already be configured as syncrepl consumer +before this keyword may be set. This mode also requires a +.B olcServerID +(see above) to be configured. +By default, this setting is FALSE. +.TP +.B olcPlugin: <plugin_type> <lib_path> <init_function> [<arguments>] +Configure a SLAPI plugin. See the +.BR slapd.plugin (5) +manpage for more details. +.TP +.B olcRootDN: <dn> +Specify the distinguished name that is not subject to access control +or administrative limit restrictions for operations on this database. +This DN may or may not be associated with an entry. An empty root +DN (the default) specifies no root access is to be granted. It is +recommended that the rootdn only be specified when needed (such as +when initially populating a database). If the rootdn is within +a namingContext (suffix) of the database, a simple bind password +may also be provided using the +.B olcRootPW +directive. Note that the rootdn is always needed when using syncrepl. +The +.B olcRootDN +of the +.B cn=config +database defaults to +.B cn=config +itself. +.TP +.B olcRootPW: <password> +Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn. The +password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext +(suffix) of the database. +This option accepts all RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to +the server (see +.B olcPasswordHash +description) as well as cleartext. +.BR slappasswd (8) +may be used to generate a hash of a password. Cleartext +and \fB{CRYPT}\fP passwords are not recommended. If empty +(the default), authentication of the root DN is by other means +(e.g. SASL). Use of SASL is encouraged. +.TP +.B olcSubordinate: [TRUE | FALSE | advertise] +Specify that the current backend database is a subordinate of another +backend database. A subordinate database may have only one suffix. This +option may be used to glue multiple databases into a single namingContext. +If the suffix of the current database is within the namingContext of a +superior database, searches against the superior database will be +propagated to the subordinate as well. All of the databases +associated with a single namingContext should have identical rootdns. +Behavior of other LDAP operations is unaffected by this setting. In +particular, it is not possible to use moddn to move an entry from +one subordinate to another subordinate within the namingContext. + +If the optional \fBadvertise\fP flag is supplied, the naming context of +this database is advertised in the root DSE. The default is to hide this +database context, so that only the superior context is visible. + +If the slap tools +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +or +.BR slapindex (8) +are used on the superior database, any glued subordinates that support +these tools are opened as well. + +Databases that are glued together should usually be configured with the +same indices (assuming they support indexing), even for attributes that +only exist in some of these databases. In general, all of the glued +databases should be configured as similarly as possible, since the intent +is to provide the appearance of a single directory. + +Note that the subordinate functionality is implemented internally +by the \fIglue\fP overlay and as such its behavior will interact with other +overlays in use. By default, the glue overlay is automatically configured as +the last overlay on the superior database. Its position on the database +can be explicitly configured by setting an \fBoverlay glue\fP directive +at the desired position. This explicit configuration is necessary e.g. +when using the \fIsyncprov\fP overlay, which needs to follow \fIglue\fP +in order to work over all of the glued databases. E.g. +.RS +.nf + dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config + olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com + ... + + dn: olcOverlay={0}glue,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config + ... + + dn: olcOverlay={1}syncprov,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config + ... +.fi +.RE +See the Overlays section below for more details. +.TP +.B olcSuffix: <dn suffix> +Specify the DN suffix of queries that will be passed to this +backend database. Multiple suffix lines can be given and at least one is +required for each database definition. + +If the suffix of one database is "inside" that of another, the database +with the inner suffix must come first in the configuration file. +You may also want to glue such databases together with the +.B olcSubordinate +attribute. +.TP +.B olcSyncUseSubentry: TRUE | FALSE +Store the syncrepl contextCSN in a subentry instead of the context entry +of the database.

Refer to the +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for detailed information on +setting up a replicated +.B slapd +directory service using the +.B syncrepl +replication engine. + +.B rid +identifies the current +.B syncrepl +directive within the replication consumer site. +It is a non-negative integer having no more than three decimal digits. + +.B provider +specifies the replication provider site containing the provider content +as an LDAP URI. If <port> is not given, the standard LDAP port number +(389 or 636) is used. + +The content of the +.B syncrepl +consumer is defined using a search +specification as its result set. The consumer +.B slapd +will send search requests to the provider +.B slapd +according to the search specification. The search specification includes +.B searchbase, scope, filter, attrs, attrsonly, sizelimit, +and +.B timelimit +parameters as in the normal search specification. The +.B exattrs +option may also be used to specify attributes that should be omitted +from incoming entries. +The \fBscope\fP defaults to \fBsub\fP, the \fBfilter\fP defaults to +\fB(objectclass=*)\fP, and there is no default \fBsearchbase\fP. The +\fBattrs\fP list defaults to \fB"*,+"\fP to return all user and operational +attributes, and \fBattrsonly\fP and \fBexattrs\fP are unset by default. +The \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBtimelimit\fP only +accept "unlimited" and positive integers, and both default to "unlimited". +Note, however, that any provider-side limits for the replication identity +will be enforced by the provider regardless of the limits requested +by the LDAP Content Synchronization operation, much like for any other +search operation. + +The LDAP Content Synchronization protocol has two operation types. +In the +.B refreshOnly +operation, the next synchronization search operation +is periodically rescheduled at an interval time (specified by +.B interval +parameter; 1 day by default) +after each synchronization operation finishes. +In the +.B refreshAndPersist +operation, a synchronization search remains persistent in the provider slapd. +Further updates to the provider will generate +.B searchResultEntry +to the consumer slapd as the search responses to the persistent +synchronization search. If the initial search fails due to an error, the +next synchronization search operation is periodically rescheduled at an +interval time (specified by +.B interval +parameter; 1 day by default) + +If an error occurs during replication, the consumer will attempt to +reconnect according to the +.B retry +parameter which is a list of the <retry interval> and <# of retries> pairs. +For example, retry="60 10 300 3" lets the consumer retry every 60 seconds +for the first 10 times and then retry every 300 seconds for the next 3 +times before stop retrying. The `+' in <# of retries> means indefinite +number of retries until success. + +The schema checking can be enforced at the LDAP Sync +consumer site by turning on the +.B schemachecking +parameter. The default is off. + +The +.B network\-timeout +parameter sets how long the consumer will wait to establish a +network connection to the provider. Once a connection is +established, the +.B timeout +parameter determines how long the consumer will wait for the initial +Bind request to complete. The defaults for these parameters come +from +.BR ldap.conf (5). + +A +.B bindmethod +of +.B simple +requires the options +.B binddn +and +.B credentials +and should only be used when adequate security services +(e.g. TLS or IPSEC) are in place. +A +.B bindmethod +of +.B sasl +requires the option +.B saslmech. +Depending on the mechanism, an authentication identity and/or +credentials can be specified using +.B authcid +and +.B credentials. +The +.B authzid +parameter may be used to specify an authorization identity. +Specific security properties (as with the +.B sasl\-secprops +keyword above) for a SASL bind can be set with the +.B secprops +option. A non default SASL realm can be set with the +.B realm +option. +The provider, other than allow authentication of the syncrepl identity, +should grant that identity appropriate access privileges to the data +that is being replicated (\fBaccess\fP directive), and appropriate time +and size limits (\fBlimits\fP directive). + +The +.B keepalive +parameter sets the values of \fIidle\fP, \fIprobes\fP, and \fIinterval\fP +used to check whether a socket is alive; +.I idle +is the number of seconds a connection needs to remain idle before TCP +starts sending keepalive probes; +.I probes +is the maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send before dropping +the connection; +.I interval +is interval in seconds between individual keepalive probes. +Only some systems support the customization of these values; +the +.B keepalive +parameter is ignored otherwise, and system-wide settings are used. + +The +.B starttls +parameter specifies use of the StartTLS extended operation +to establish a TLS session before Binding to the provider. If the +.B critical +argument is supplied, the session will be aborted if the StartTLS request +fails. Otherwise the syncrepl session continues without TLS. The +.B tls_reqcert +setting defaults to "demand", the +.B tls_reqsan +setting defaults to "allow", and the other TLS settings default to the same +as the main slapd TLS settings. + +The +.B suffixmassage +parameter allows the consumer to pull entries from a remote directory +whose DN suffix differs from the local directory. The portion of the +remote entries' DNs that matches the \fIsearchbase\fP will be replaced +with the suffixmassage DN. + +Rather than replicating whole entries, the consumer can query logs of +data modifications. This mode of operation is referred to as \fIdelta +syncrepl\fP. In addition to the above parameters, the +.B logbase +and +.B logfilter +parameters must be set appropriately for the log that will be used. The +.B syncdata +parameter must be set to either "accesslog" if the log conforms to the +.BR slapo\-accesslog (5) +log format, or "changelog" if the log conforms +to the obsolete \fIchangelog\fP format. If the +.B syncdata +parameter is omitted or set to "default" then the log parameters are +ignored. +.RE +.TP +.B olcUpdateDN: <dn> +This option is only applicable in a replica +database. +It specifies the DN permitted to update (subject to access controls) +the replica. It is only needed in certain push-mode +replication scenarios. Generally, this DN +.I should not +be the same as the +.B rootdn +used at the provider. +.TP +.B olcUpdateRef: <url> +Specify the referral to pass back when +.BR slapd (8) +is asked to modify a replicated local database. +If multiple values are specified, each url is provided. + +.SH DATABASE-SPECIFIC OPTIONS +Each database may allow specific configuration options; they are +documented separately in the backends' manual pages.

While processing requests it will also +chase referrals, so that referrals are fully processed instead of being +returned to the slapd client. + +Sessions that explicitly Bind to the back-ldap database always create their +own private connection to the remote LDAP server. Anonymous sessions will +share a single anonymous connection to the remote server. For sessions bound +through other mechanisms, all sessions with the same DN will share the +same connection. This connection pooling strategy can enhance the proxy's +efficiency by reducing the overhead of repeatedly making/breaking multiple +connections. + +The ldap database can also act as an information service, i.e. the identity +of locally authenticated clients is asserted to the remote server, possibly +in some modified form. +For this purpose, the proxy binds to the remote server with some +administrative identity, and, if required, authorizes the asserted identity. +See the +.IR idassert\- * +rules below. +The administrative identity of the proxy, on the remote server, must be +allowed to authorize by means of appropriate +.B authzTo +rules; see +.BR slapd.conf (5) +for details. + +The proxy instance of +.BR slapd (8) +must contain schema information for the attributes and objectClasses +used in filters, request DNs and request-related data in general. +It should also contain schema information for the data returned +by the proxied server. +It is the responsibility of the proxy administrator to keep the schema +of the proxy lined up with that of the proxied server. + +.LP +Note: When looping back to the same instance of +.BR slapd (8), +each connection requires a new thread; as a consequence, +.BR slapd (8) +must be compiled with thread support, and the \fBthreads\fP parameter +may need some tuning; in those cases, one may consider using +.BR slapd\-relay (5) +instead, which performs the relayed operation +internally and thus reuses the same connection. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the LDAP backend database. +That is, they must follow a "database ldap" line and come before any +subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. +Other database options are described in the +.BR slapd.conf (5) +manual page. + +.LP +Note: In early versions of back-ldap it was recommended to always set +.LP +.RS +.nf +lastmod off +.fi +.RE +.LP +for +.B ldap +and +.B meta +databases. +This was required because operational attributes related to entry creation +and modification should not be proxied, as they could be mistakenly written +to the target server(s), generating an error. +The current implementation automatically sets lastmod to \fBoff\fP, +so its use is redundant and should be omitted. + +.TP +.B uri <ldapurl> +LDAP server to use.

When +the \fI<min>\fP argument is non-zero, an internal task will run every +\fI<min>\fP minutes to perform the checkpoint. +Note: currently the \fI<kbyte>\fP setting is unimplemented. +.TP +.B dbnosync +Specify that on-disk database contents should not be immediately +synchronized with in memory changes. +Enabling this option may improve performance at the expense of data +security. In particular, if the operating system crashes before changes are +flushed, some number of transactions may be lost. +By default, a full data flush/sync is performed when each +transaction is committed. +.TP +.BI directory \ <directory> +Specify the directory where the LMDB files containing this database and +associated indexes live. +A separate directory must be specified for each database. +The default is +.BR LOCALSTATEDIR/openldap\-data . +.TP +\fBenvflags \fR{\fBnosync\fR,\fBnometasync\fR,\fBwritemap\fR,\fBmapasync\fR,\fBnordahead\fR} +Specify flags for finer-grained control of the LMDB library's operation. +.RS +.TP +.B nosync +This is exactly the same as the +.I dbnosync +directive. +.RE +.RS +.TP +.B nometasync +Flush the data on a commit, but skip the sync of the meta page. This mode is +slightly faster than doing a full sync, but can potentially lose the last +committed transaction if the operating system crashes. If both +.I nometasync +and +.I nosync +are set, the +.I nosync +flag takes precedence. +.RE +.RS +.TP +.B writemap +Use a writable memory map instead of just read-only. This speeds up write operations +but makes the database vulnerable to corruption in case any bugs in slapd +cause stray writes into the mmap region. +.RE +.RS +.TP +.B mapasync +When using a writable memory map and performing flushes on each commit, use an +asynchronous flush instead of a synchronous flush (the default). This option +has no effect if +.I writemap +has not been set. It also has no effect if +.I nosync +is set. +.RE +.RS +.TP +.B nordahead +Turn off file readahead.

This setting +may be changed upward if the configured limit needs to be increased. + +Note: It is important to set this to as large a value as possible, +(relative to anticipated growth of the actual data over time) since +growing the size later may not be practical when the system is under +heavy load. +.TP +.BI mode \ <integer> +Specify the file protection mode that newly created database +files should have. +The default is 0600. +.TP +.BI rtxnsize \ <entries> +Specify the maximum number of entries to process in a single read +transaction when executing a large search.

This setting causes the read transaction in +large searches to be released and reacquired after the given number +of entries has been read, to give writers the opportunity to +reclaim old database pages. The default is 10000. +.TP +.BI searchstack \ <depth> +Specify the depth of the stack used for search filter evaluation. +Search filters are evaluated on a stack to accommodate nested AND / OR +clauses. An individual stack is assigned to each server thread. +The depth of the stack determines how complex a filter can be +evaluated without requiring any additional memory allocation. Filters that +are nested deeper than the search stack depth will cause a separate +stack to be allocated for that particular search operation.

as a consequence, \fBslapd\fP(8) +must be compiled with thread support, and the \fBthreads\fP parameter +may need some tuning; in those cases, unless the multiple target feature +is required, one may consider using \fBslapd\-relay\fP(5) instead, +which performs the relayed operation internally and thus reuses +the same connection. + +.SH EXAMPLES +There are examples in various places in this document, as well as in the +slapd/back\-meta/data/ directory in the OpenLDAP source tree. +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the META backend database. +That is, they must follow a "database meta" line and come before any +subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. +Other database options are described in the +.BR slapd.conf (5) +manual page. +.LP +Note: In early versions of back-ldap and back-meta it was recommended to always set +.LP +.RS +.nf +lastmod off +.fi +.RE +.LP +for +.B ldap +and +.B meta +databases. +This was required because operational attributes related to entry creation +and modification should not be proxied, as they could be mistakenly written +to the target server(s), generating an error. +The current implementation automatically sets lastmod to \fBoff\fP, +so its use is redundant and should be omitted. + +.SH SPECIAL CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES +Target configuration starts with the "uri" directive. +All the configuration directives that are not specific to targets +should be defined first for clarity, including those that are common +to all backends. +They are: + +.TP +.B conn\-ttl <time> +This directive causes a cached connection to be dropped an recreated +after a given ttl, regardless of being idle or not. + +.TP +.B default\-target none +This directive forces the backend to reject all those operations +that must resolve to a single target in case none or multiple +targets are selected. +They include: add, delete, modify, modrdn; compare is not included, as +well as bind since, as they don't alter entries, in case of multiple +matches an attempt is made to perform the operation on any candidate +target, with the constraint that at most one must succeed. +This directive can also be used when processing targets to mark a +specific target as default. + +.TP +.B dncache\-ttl {DISABLED|forever|<ttl>} +This directive sets the time-to-live of the DN cache. +This caches the target that holds a given DN to speed up target +selection in case multiple targets would result from an uncached +search; forever means cache never expires; disabled means no DN +caching; otherwise a valid ( > 0 ) ttl is required, in the format +illustrated for the +.B idle\-timeout +directive. + +.TP +.B onerr {CONTINUE|report|stop} +This directive allows one to select the behavior in case an error is returned +by one target during a search. +The default, \fBcontinue\fP, consists in continuing the operation, +trying to return as much data as possible. +If the value is set to \fBstop\fP, the search is terminated as soon +as an error is returned by one target, and the error is immediately +propagated to the client. +If the value is set to \fBreport\fP, the search is continuated to the end +but, in case at least one target returned an error code, the first +non-success error code is returned. + +.TP +.B norefs <NO|yes> +If +.BR yes , +do not return search reference responses. +By default, they are returned unless request is LDAPv2. +If set before any target specification, it affects all targets, unless +overridden by any per-target directive. + +.TP +.B noundeffilter <NO|yes> +If +.BR yes , +return success instead of searching if a filter is undefined or contains +undefined portions. +By default, the search is propagated after replacing undefined portions +with +.BR (!(objectClass=*)) , +which corresponds to the empty result set. +If set before any target specification, it affects all targets, unless +overridden by any per-target directive. + +.TP +.B protocol\-version {0,2,3} +This directive indicates what protocol version must be used to contact +the remote server. +If set to 0 (the default), the proxy uses the same protocol version +used by the client, otherwise the requested protocol is used. +The proxy returns \fIunwillingToPerform\fP if an operation that is +incompatible with the requested protocol is attempted. +If set before any target specification, it affects all targets, unless +overridden by any per-target directive. + +.TP +.B pseudoroot\-bind\-defer {YES|no} +This directive, when set to +.BR yes , +causes the authentication to the remote servers with the pseudo-root +identity (the identity defined in each +.B idassert-bind +directive) to be deferred until actually needed by subsequent operations. +Otherwise, all binds as the rootdn are propagated to the targets. + +.TP +.B quarantine <interval>,<num>[;<interval>,<num>[...]] +Turns on quarantine of URIs that returned +.IR LDAP_UNAVAILABLE , +so that an attempt to reconnect only occurs at given intervals instead +of any time a client requests an operation. +The pattern is: retry only after at least +.I interval +seconds elapsed since last attempt, for exactly +.I num +times; then use the next pattern. +If +.I num +for the last pattern is "\fB+\fP", it retries forever; otherwise, +no more retries occur. +This directive must appear before any target specification; +it affects all targets with the same pattern. + +.TP +.B rebind\-as\-user {NO|yes} +If this option is given, the client's bind credentials are remembered +for rebinds, when trying to re-establish a broken connection, +or when chasing a referral, if +.B chase\-referrals +is set to +.IR yes . + +.TP +.B session\-tracking\-request {NO|yes} +Adds session tracking control for all requests. +The client's IP and hostname, and the identity associated to each request, +if known, are sent to the remote server for informational purposes. +This directive is incompatible with setting \fIprotocol\-version\fP to 2. +If set before any target specification, it affects all targets, unless +overridden by any per-target directive. + +.TP +.B single\-conn {NO|yes} +Discards current cached connection when the client rebinds. + +.TP +.B use\-temporary\-conn {NO|yes} +when set to +.BR yes , +create a temporary connection whenever competing with other threads +for a shared one; otherwise, wait until the shared connection is available. + +.SH TARGET SPECIFICATION +Target specification starts with a "uri" directive: + +.TP +.B uri <protocol>://[<host>]/<naming context> [...] +The <protocol> part can be anything +.BR ldap_initialize (3) +accepts ({ldap|ldaps|ldapi} and variants); the <host> may be +omitted, defaulting to whatever is set in +.BR ldap.conf (5). +The <naming context> part is \fImandatory\fP for the first URI, +but it \fImust be omitted\fP for subsequent ones, if any. +The naming context part must be within the naming context defined for the backend, +e.g.: +.LP +.RS +.nf +suffix "\fBdc=foo,dc=com\fP" +uri "ldap://x.foo.com/dc=x,\fBdc=foo,dc=com\fP" +.fi + +.RE +.RS +The <naming context> part doesn't need to be unique across the targets; +it may also match one of the values of the "suffix" directive. +Multiple URIs may be defined in a single URI statement. +The additional URIs must be separate arguments and must not have any +<naming context> part. This causes the underlying library +to contact the first server of the list that responds. +For example, if \fIl1.foo.com\fP and \fIl2.foo.com\fP are shadows +of the same server, the directive +.LP +.nf +suffix "\fBdc=foo,dc=com\fP" +uri "ldap://l1.foo.com/\fBdc=foo,dc=com\fP" "ldap://l2.foo.com/" +.fi + +.RE +.RS +causes \fIl2.foo.com\fP to be contacted whenever \fIl1.foo.com\fP +does not respond. +In that case, the URI list is internally rearranged, by moving unavailable +URIs to the end, so that further connection attempts occur with respect to +the last URI that succeeded. +.RE + +.TP +.B acl\-authcDN "<administrative DN for access control purposes>" +DN which is used to query the target server for acl checking, +as in the LDAP backend; it is supposed to have read access +on the target server to attributes used on the proxy for acl checking. +There is no risk of giving away such values; they are only used to +check permissions. +.B The acl\-authcDN identity is by no means implicitly used by the proxy +.B when the client connects anonymously. + +.TP +.B acl\-passwd <password> +Password used with the +.B +acl\-authcDN +above. + +.TP +.B bind\-timeout <microseconds> +This directive defines the timeout, in microseconds, used when polling +for response after an asynchronous bind connection.

does not alter the max total count +of passes, so it can only enforce a stricter limit for a specific rule. +.SH "Action Flags" +.TP +.B `:' +apply the rule once only (default is recursive) +.TP +.B `@' +stop applying rules in case of match; the current rule is still applied +recursively; combine with `:' to apply the current rule only once +and then stop. +.TP +.B `#' +stop current operation if the rule matches, and issue an `unwilling to +perform' error. +.TP +.B `G{n}' +jump +.B n +rules back and forth (watch for loops!). +Note that `G{1}' is implicit in every rule. +.TP +.B `I' +ignores errors in rule; this means, in case of error, e.g. issued by a +map, the error is treated as a missed match. +The `unwilling to perform' is not overridden. +.TP +.B `U{n}' +uses +.B +n +as return code if the rule matches; the flag does not alter the recursive +behavior of the rule, so, to have it performed only once, it must be used +in combination with `:', e.g. +.B `:U{16}' +returns the value `16' after exactly one execution of the rule, if the +pattern matches. +As a consequence, its behavior is equivalent to `@', with the return +code set to +.BR n ; +or, in other words, `@' is equivalent to `U{0}'. +By convention, the freely available codes are above 16 included; +the others are reserved. +.LP +The ordering of the flags can be significant. +For instance: `IG{2}' means ignore errors and jump two lines ahead +both in case of match and in case of error, while `G{2}I' means ignore +errors, but jump two lines ahead only in case of match. +.LP +More flags (mainly Action Flags) will be added as needed. +.SH "Pattern matching:" +See +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +.SH "Substitution Pattern Syntax:" +Everything starting with `%' requires substitution; +.LP +the only obvious exception is `%%', which is left as is; +.LP +the basic substitution is `%d', where `d' is a digit; +0 means the whole string, while 1-9 is a submatch; +.LP +a `%' followed by a `{' invokes an advanced substitution. +The pattern is: +.LP +.RS +`%' `{' [ <op> ] <name> `(' <substitution> `)' `}' +.RE +.LP +where <name> must be a legal name for the map, i.e. +.LP +.RS +.nf +<name> ::= [a-z][a-z0-9]* (case insensitive) +<op> ::= `>' `|' `&' `&&' `*' `**' `$' +.fi +.RE +.LP +and <substitution> must be a legal substitution +pattern, with no limits on the nesting level. +.LP +The operators are: +.TP +.B > +sub context invocation;

+no parameter is currently set by either +.B back\-ldap +or +.BR back\-meta , +but constant parameters can be defined in the configuration file +by using the +.B rewriteParam +directive. +.LP +Substitution escaping has been delegated to the `%' symbol, +which is used instead of `\e' in string substitution patterns +because `\e' is already escaped by slapd's low level parsing routines; +as a consequence, regex escaping requires two `\e' symbols, +e.g. `\fB.*\e.foo\e.bar\fP' must be written as `\fB.*\e\e.foo\e\e.bar\fP'. +.\" +.\" The symbol can be altered at will by redefining the related macro in +.\" "rewrite-int.h". +.\" +.SH "Rewrite context:" +A rewrite context is a set of rules which are applied in sequence. +The basic idea is to have an application initialize a rewrite +engine (think of Apache's mod_rewrite ...) with a set of rewrite +contexts;

See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapd\-relay \- relay backend to slapd +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The primary purpose of this +.BR slapd (8) +backend is to map a naming context defined in a database +running in the same +.BR slapd (8) +instance into a virtual naming context, with attributeType +and objectClass manipulation, if required. +It requires the +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +overlay. +.LP +This backend and the above mentioned overlay are experimental. +.SH CONFIGURATION +The following +.B slapd.conf +directives apply to the relay backend database. +That is, they must follow a "database relay" line and come before any +subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. +Other database options are described in the +.BR slapd.conf (5) +manual page; only the +.B suffix +directive is allowed by the +.I relay +backend. +.TP +.B relay <real naming context> +The naming context of the database that is presented +under a virtual naming context. +The presence of this directive implies that one specific database, +i.e. the one serving the +.BR "real naming context" , +will be presented under a virtual naming context. + +.SH MASSAGING +The +.B relay +database does not automatically rewrite the naming context +of requests and responses. +For this purpose, the +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +overlay must be explicitly instantiated, and configured +as appropriate. +Usually, the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive suffices if only naming context rewriting is required. + +.SH ACCESS RULES +One important issue is that access rules are based on the identity +that issued the operation. +After massaging from the virtual to the real naming context, the +frontend sees the operation as performed by the identity in the +real naming context. +Moreover, since +.B back\-relay +bypasses the real database frontend operations by short-circuiting +operations through the internal backend API, the original database +access rules do not apply but in selected cases, i.e. when the +backend itself applies access control. +As a consequence, the instances of the relay database must provide +own access rules that are consistent with those of the original +database, possibly adding further specific restrictions. +So, access rules in the +.B relay +database must refer to identities in the real naming context. +Examples are reported in the EXAMPLES section. + +.SH SCENARIOS +.LP +If no +.B relay +directive is given, the +.I relay +database does not refer to any specific database, but the most +appropriate one is looked-up after rewriting the request DN +for the operation that is being handled. +.LP +This allows one to write carefully crafted rewrite rules that +cause some of the requests to be directed to one database, and +some to another; e.g., authentication can be mapped to one +database, and searches to another, or different target databases +can be selected based on the DN of the request, and so. +.LP +Another possibility is to map the same operation to different +databases based on details of the virtual naming context, +e.g. groups on one database and persons on another. +.LP +.SH EXAMPLES +To implement a plain virtual naming context mapping +that refers to a single database, use +.LP +.nf + database relay + suffix "dc=virtual,dc=naming,dc=context" + relay "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" + overlay rwm + rwm\-suffixmassage "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" +.fi +.LP +To implement a plain virtual naming context mapping +that looks up the real naming context for each operation, use +.LP +.nf + database relay + suffix "dc=virtual,dc=naming,dc=context" + overlay rwm + rwm\-suffixmassage "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" +.fi +.LP +This is useful, for instance, to relay different databases that +share the terminal portion of the naming context (the one that +is rewritten). +.LP +To implement the old-fashioned suffixalias, e.g. mapping +the virtual to the real naming context, but not the results +back from the real to the virtual naming context, use +.LP +.nf + database relay + suffix "dc=virtual,dc=naming,dc=context" + relay "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" + overlay rwm + rwm\-rewriteEngine on + rwm\-rewriteContext default + rwm\-rewriteRule "dc=virtual,dc=naming,dc=context" + "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" ":@" + rwm\-rewriteContext searchFilter + rwm\-rewriteContext searchEntryDN + rwm\-rewriteContext searchAttrDN + rwm\-rewriteContext matchedDN +.fi +.LP +Note that the +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +overlay is instantiated, but the rewrite rules are written explicitly, +rather than automatically as with the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +statement, to map all the virtual to real naming context data flow, +but none of the real to virtual. +.LP +Access rules: +.LP +.nf + database bdb + suffix "dc=example,dc=com" + # skip... + access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com" + by dn.exact="cn=Supervisor,dc=example,dc=com" write + by * read + + database relay + suffix "o=Example,c=US" + relay "dc=example,dc=com" + overlay rwm + rwm\-suffixmassage "dc=example,dc=com" + # skip ... + access to dn.subtree="o=Example,c=US" + by dn.exact="cn=Supervisor,dc=example,dc=com" write + by dn.exact="cn=Relay Supervisor,dc=example,dc=com" write + by * read +.fi +.LP +Note that, in both databases, the identities (the +.B <who> +clause) are in the +.BR "real naming context" , +i.e. +.BR "`dc=example,dc=com'" , +while the targets (the +.B <what> +clause) are in the +.B real +and in the +.BR "virtual naming context" , +respectively. +.SH ACCESS CONTROL +The +.B relay +backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in +.BR slapd.access (5);

FROM persons,phones + WHERE persons.id=phones.pers_id + AND persons.id=? + AND phones.phone like '%1%2%3%' +.fi +.LP +(note how the telephoneNumber match is expanded in multiple wildcards +to account for interspersed ininfluential chars like spaces, dashes +and so; this occurs by design because telephoneNumber is defined after +a specially recognized syntax). +So, if we had information about what tables contain values for each +attribute, how to join these tables and arrange these values, we could +try to automatically generate such statements, and translate search +filters to SQL WHERE clauses. +.LP +To store such information, we add three more tables to our schema +and fill it with data (see samples): +.LP +.nf + ldap_oc_mappings (some columns are not listed for clarity) + --------------- + id=1 + name="person" + keytbl="persons" + keycol="id" +.fi +.LP +This table defines a mapping between objectclass (its name held in the +"name" column), and a table that holds the primary key for corresponding +entities. +For instance, in our example, the person entity, which we are trying +to present as "person" objectclass, resides in two tables (persons and +phones), and is identified by the persons.id column (that we will call +the primary key for this entity). +Keytbl and keycol thus contain "persons" (name of the table), and "id" +(name of the column). +.LP +.nf + ldap_attr_mappings (some columns are not listed for clarity) + ----------- + id=1 + oc_map_id=1 + name="cn" + sel_expr="CONCAT(persons.first_name,' ',persons.last_name)" + from_tbls="persons" + join_where=NULL + ************ + id=<n> + oc_map_id=1 + name="telephoneNumber" + sel_expr="phones.phone" + from_tbls="persons,phones" + join_where="phones.pers_id=persons.id" +.fi +.LP +This table defines mappings between LDAP attributes and SQL queries +that load their values. +Note that, unlike LDAP schema, these are not +.B attribute types +- the attribute "cn" for "person" objectclass can +have its values in different tables than "cn" for some other objectclass, +so attribute mappings depend on objectclass mappings (unlike attribute +types in LDAP schema, which are indifferent to objectclasses). +Thus, we have oc_map_id column with link to oc_mappings table. +.LP +Now we cut the SQL query that loads values for a given attribute into 3 parts. +First goes into sel_expr column - this is the expression we had +between SELECT and FROM keywords, which defines WHAT to load. +Next is table list - text between FROM and WHERE keywords. +It may contain aliases for convenience (see examples). +The last is part of the where clause, which (if it exists at all) expresses the +condition for joining the table containing values with the table +containing the primary key (foreign key equality and such). +If values are in the same table as the primary key, then this column is +left NULL (as for cn attribute above). +.LP +Having this information in parts, we are able to not only construct +queries that load attribute values by id of entry (for this we could +store SQL query as a whole), but to construct queries that load id's +of objects that correspond to a given search filter (or at least part of +it). +See below for examples. +.LP +.nf + ldap_entries + ------------ + id=1 + dn=<dn you choose> + oc_map_id=... + parent=<parent record id> + keyval=<value of primary key> +.fi +.LP +This table defines mappings between DNs of entries in your LDAP tree, +and values of primary keys for corresponding relational data. +It has recursive structure (parent column references id column of the +same table), which allows you to add any tree structure(s) to your +flat relational data. +Having id of objectclass mapping, we can determine table and column +for primary key, and keyval stores value of it, thus defining the exact +tuple corresponding to the LDAP entry with this DN. +.LP +Note that such design (see exact SQL table creation query) implies one +important constraint - the key must be an integer. +But all that I know about well-designed schemas makes me think that it's +not very narrow ;) If anyone needs support for different types for +keys - he may want to write a patch, and submit it to OpenLDAP ITS, +then I'll include it. +.LP +Also, several users complained that they don't really need very +structured trees, and they don't want to update one more table every +time they add or delete an instance in the relational schema. +Those people can use a view instead of a real table for ldap_entries, something +like this (by Robin Elfrink): +.LP +.nf + CREATE VIEW ldap_entries (id, dn, oc_map_id, parent, keyval) + AS + SELECT 0, UPPER('o=MyCompany,c=NL'), + 3, 0, 'baseObject' FROM unixusers WHERE userid='root' + UNION + SELECT (1000000000+userid), + UPPER(CONCAT(CONCAT('cn=',gecos),',o=MyCompany,c=NL')), + 1, 0, userid FROM unixusers + UNION + SELECT (2000000000+groupnummer), + UPPER(CONCAT(CONCAT('cn=',groupnaam),',o=MyCompany,c=NL')), + 2, 0, groupnummer FROM groups; +.fi + +.LP +If your RDBMS does not support +.B unions +in views, only one objectClass can be mapped in +.BR ldap_entries , +and the baseObject cannot be created; in this case, see the +.B baseObject +directive for a possible workaround. + +.LP +.SH TYPICAL SQL BACKEND OPERATION +Having meta-information loaded, the SQL backend uses these tables to +determine a set of primary keys of candidates (depending on search +scope and filter). +It tries to do it for each objectclass registered in ldap_objclasses. +.LP +Example: +for our query with filter (telephoneNumber=123*) we would get the following +query generated (which loads candidate IDs) +.LP +.nf + SELECT ldap_entries.id,persons.id, 'person' AS objectClass, + ldap_entries.dn AS dn + FROM ldap_entries,persons,phones + WHERE persons.id=ldap_entries.keyval + AND ldap_entries.objclass=? + AND ldap_entries.parent=? + AND phones.pers_id=persons.id + AND (phones.phone LIKE '%1%2%3%') +.fi +.LP +(for ONELEVEL search) +or "... AND dn=?" (for BASE search) +or "... AND dn LIKE '%?'" (for SUBTREE) +.LP +Then, for each candidate, we load the requested attributes using +per-attribute queries like +.LP +.nf + SELECT phones.phone AS telephoneNumber + FROM persons,phones + WHERE persons.id=? AND phones.pers_id=persons.id +.fi +.LP +Then, we use test_filter() from the frontend API to test the entry for a full +LDAP search filter match (since we cannot effectively make sense of +SYNTAX of corresponding LDAP schema attribute, we translate the filter +into the most relaxed SQL condition to filter candidates), and send it to +the user. +.LP +ADD, DELETE, MODIFY and MODRDN operations are also performed on per-attribute +meta-information (add_proc etc.). +In those fields one can specify an SQL statement or stored procedure +call which can add, or delete given values of a given attribute, using +the given entry keyval (see examples -- mostly PostgreSQL, ORACLE and MSSQL +- since as of this writing there are no stored procs in MySQL). +.LP +We just add more columns to ldap_oc_mappings and ldap_attr_mappings, holding +statements to execute (like create_proc, add_proc, del_proc etc.), and +flags governing the order of parameters passed to those statements. +Please see samples to find out what are the parameters passed, and other +information on this matter - they are self-explanatory for those familiar +with the concepts expressed above. +.LP +.SH COMMON TECHNIQUES +First of all, let's recall that among other major differences to the +complete LDAP data model, the above illustrated concept does not directly +support such features as multiple objectclasses per entry, and referrals. +Fortunately, they are easy to adopt in this scheme. +The SQL backend requires that one more table is added to the schema: +ldap_entry_objectclasses(entry_id,oc_name). +.LP +That table contains any number of objectclass names that corresponding +entries will possess, in addition to that mentioned in mapping. +The SQL backend automatically adds attribute mapping for the "objectclass" +attribute to each objectclass mapping that loads values from this table. +So, you may, for instance, have a mapping for inetOrgPerson, and use it +for queries for "person" objectclass... +.LP +Referrals used to be implemented in a loose manner by adding an extra +table that allowed any entry to host a "ref" attribute, along with +a "referral" extra objectClass in table ldap_entry_objclasses. +In the current implementation, referrals are treated like any other +user-defined schema, since "referral" is a structural objectclass. +The suggested practice is to define a "referral" entry in ldap_oc_mappings, +holding a naming attribute, e.g. "ou" or "cn", a "ref" attribute, +containing the url; in case multiple referrals per entry are needed, +a separate table for urls can be created, where urls are mapped +to the respective entries. +The use of the naming attribute usually requires to add +an "extensibleObject" value to ldap_entry_objclasses. + +.LP +.SH CAVEATS +As previously stated, this backend should not be considered +a replacement of other data storage backends, but rather a gateway +to existing RDBMS storages that need to be published in LDAP form. +.LP +The \fBhasSubordintes\fP operational attribute is honored by back-sql +in search results and in compare operations; it is partially honored +also in filtering. Owing to design limitations, a (brain-dead?) filter +of the form +\fB(!(hasSubordinates=TRUE))\fP +will give no results instead of returning all the leaf entries, because +it actually expands into \fB... AND NOT (1=1)\fP. +If you need to find all the leaf entries, please use +\fB(hasSubordinates=FALSE)\fP +instead. +.LP +A directoryString value of the form "__First___Last_" +(where underscores mean spaces, ASCII 0x20 char) corresponds +to its prettified counterpart "First_Last"; this is not currently +honored by back-sql if non-prettified data is written via RDBMS; +when non-prettified data is written through back-sql, the prettified +values are actually used instead. + +.LP +.SH BUGS +When the +.B ldap_entry_objclasses +table is empty, filters on the +.B objectClass +attribute erroneously result in no candidates. +A workaround consists in adding at least one row to that table, +no matter if valid or not. + +.LP +.SH PROXY CACHE OVERLAY +The proxy cache overlay +allows caching of LDAP search requests (queries) in a local database. +See +.BR slapo\-pcache (5) +for details. +.SH EXAMPLES +There are example SQL modules in the slapd/back\-sql/rdbms_depend/ +directory in the OpenLDAP source tree. +.SH ACCESS CONTROL +The +.B sql +backend honors access control semantics as indicated in +.BR slapd.access (5) +(including the +.B disclose +access privilege when enabled at compile time). +.SH FILES + +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd (8). diff --git a/doc/man/man5/slapd.access.5 b/doc/man/man5/slapd.access.5 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..72e7140 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/man/man5/slapd.access.5 @@ -0,0 +1,1183 @@ +.TH SLAPD.ACCESS 5 "RELEASEDATE" "OpenLDAP LDVERSION" +.\" Copyright 1998-2021 The OpenLDAP Foundation All Rights Reserved. +.\" Copying restrictions apply.

In addition, the +.B regex +style can exploit substring substitution of submatches in the +.B <what> +dn.regex clause by using the form +.BR $<digit> , +with +.B digit +ranging from 0 to 9 (where 0 matches the entire string), +or the form +.BR ${<digit>+} , +for submatches higher than 9. +Substring substitution from attribute value can +be done in +using the form +.BR ${v<digit>+} . +Since the dollar character is used to indicate a substring replacement, +the dollar character that is used to indicate match up to the end of +the string must be escaped by a second dollar character, e.g. +.LP +.nf + access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=[^,]+,dc=com$" + by dn.regex="^uid=$2,dc=[^,]+,dc=com$$" write +.fi +.LP +The style qualifier +allows an optional +.BR modifier . +At present, the only type allowed is +.BR expand , +which causes substring substitution of submatches to take place +even if +.B dnstyle +is not +.BR regex . +Note that the +.B regex +dnstyle in the above example may be of use only if the +.B <by> +clause needs to be a regex; otherwise, if the +value of the second (from the right) +.B dc= +portion of the DN in the above example were fixed, the form +.LP +.nf + access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=example,dc=com$" + by dn.exact,expand="uid=$2,dc=example,dc=com" write +.fi +.LP +could be used; if it had to match the value in the +.B <what> +clause, the form +.LP +.nf + access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=([^,]+),dc=com$" + by dn.exact,expand="uid=$2,dc=$3,dc=com" write +.fi +.LP +could be used. +.LP +Forms of the +.B <what> +clause other than regex may provide submatches as well. +The +.BR base(object) , +the +.BR sub(tree) , +the +.BR one(level) , +and the +.BR children +forms provide +.B $0 +as the match of the entire string. +The +.BR sub(tree) , +the +.BR one(level) , +and the +.BR children +forms also provide +.B $1 +as the match of the rightmost part of the DN as defined in the +.B <what> +clause. +This may be useful, for instance, to provide access to all the +ancestors of a user by defining +.LP +.nf + access to dn.subtree="dc=com" + by dn.subtree,expand="$1" read +.fi +.LP +which means that only access to entries that appear in the DN of the +.B <by> +clause is allowed. +.LP +The +.BR level{<n>} +form is an extension and a generalization of the +.BR onelevel +form, which matches all DNs whose <n>-th ancestor is the pattern. +So, \fIlevel{1}\fP is equivalent to \fIonelevel\fP, +and \fIlevel{0}\fP is equivalent to \fIbase\fP. +.LP +It is perfectly useless to give any access privileges to a DN +that exactly matches the +.B rootdn +of the database the ACLs apply to, because it implicitly +possesses write privileges for the entire tree of that database. +Actually, access control is bypassed for the +.BR rootdn , +to solve the intrinsic chicken-and-egg problem. +.LP +The statement +.B dnattr=<attrname> +means that access is granted to requests whose DN is listed in the +entry being accessed under the +.B <attrname> +attribute. +.LP +The statement +.B group=<group> +means that access is granted to requests whose DN is listed +in the group entry whose DN is given by +.BR <group> . +The optional parameters +.B <objectclass> +and +.B <attrname> +define the objectClass and the member attributeType of the group entry. +The defaults are +.B groupOfNames +and +.BR member , +respectively. +The optional style qualifier +.B <style> +can be +.BR expand , +which means that +.B <group> +will be expanded as a replacement string (but not as a regular expression) +according to +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7), +and +.BR exact , +which means that exact match will be used. +If the style of the DN portion of the +.B <what> +clause is regex, the submatches are made available according to +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7); +other styles provide limited submatches as discussed above about +the DN form of the +.B <by> +clause. +.LP +For static groups, the specified attributeType must have +.B DistinguishedName +or +.B NameAndOptionalUID +syntax. For dynamic groups the attributeType must +be a subtype of the +.B labeledURI +attributeType. Only LDAP URIs of the form +.B ldap:///<base>??<scope>?<filter> +will be evaluated in a dynamic group, by searching the local server only. +.LP +The statements +.BR peername=<peername> , +.BR sockname=<sockname> , +.BR domain=<domain> , +and +.BR sockurl=<sockurl> +mean that the contacting host IP (in the form +.BR "IP=<ip>:<port>" +for IPv4, or +.BR "IP=[<ipv6>]:<port>" +for IPv6) +or the contacting host named pipe file name (in the form +.B "PATH=<path>" +if connecting through a named pipe) for +.BR peername , +the named pipe file name for +.BR sockname , +the contacting host name for +.BR domain , +and the contacting URL for +.BR sockurl +are compared against +.B pattern +to determine access. +The same +.B style +rules for pattern match described for the +.B group +case apply, plus the +.B regex +style, which implies submatch +.B expand +and regex match of the corresponding connection parameters. +The +.B exact +style of the +.BR <peername> +clause (the default) implies a case-exact match on the client's +.BR IP , +including the +.B "IP=" +prefix and the trailing +.BR ":<port>" , +or the client's +.BR path , +including the +.B "PATH=" +prefix if connecting through a named pipe. +The special +.B ip +style interprets the pattern as +.BR <peername>=<ip>[%<mask>][{<n>}] , +where +.B <ip> +and +.B <mask> +are dotted digit representations of the IP and the mask, while +.BR <n> , +delimited by curly brackets, is an optional port. +The same applies to IPv6 addresses when the special +.B ipv6 +style is used. +When checking access privileges, the IP portion of the +.BR peername +is extracted, eliminating the +.B "IP=" +prefix and the +.B ":<port>" +part, and it is compared against the +.B <ip> +portion of the pattern after masking with +.BR <mask> : +\fI((peername & <mask>) == <ip>)\fP. +As an example, +.B peername.ip=127.0.0.1 +and +.B peername.ipv6=::1 +allow connections only from localhost, +.B peername.ip=192.168.1.0%255.255.255.0 +allows connections from any IP in the 192.168.1 class C domain, and +.B peername.ip=192.168.1.16%255.255.255.240{9009} +allows connections from any IP in the 192.168.1.[16-31] range +of the same domain, only if port 9009 is used. +The special +.B path +style eliminates the +.B "PATH=" +prefix from the +.B peername +when connecting through a named pipe, and performs an exact match +on the given pattern. +The +.BR <domain> +clause also allows the +.B subtree +style, which succeeds when a fully qualified name exactly matches the +.BR domain +pattern, or its trailing part, after a +.BR dot , +exactly matches the +.BR domain +pattern. +The +.B expand +style is allowed, implying an +.B exact +match with submatch expansion; the use of +.B expand +as a style modifier is considered more appropriate. +As an example, +.B domain.subtree=example.com +will match www.example.com, but will not match www.anotherexample.com. +The +.B domain +of the contacting host is determined by performing a DNS reverse lookup. +As this lookup can easily be spoofed, use of the +.B domain +statement is strongly discouraged. By default, reverse lookups are disabled. +The optional +.B domainstyle +qualifier of the +.B <domain> +clause allows a +.B modifier +option; the only value currently supported is +.BR expand , +which causes substring substitution of submatches to take place even if +the +.B domainstyle +is not +.BR regex , +much like the analogous usage in +.B <dn> +clause. +.LP +The statement +.B set=<pattern> +is undocumented yet. +.LP +The statement +.B dynacl/<name>[/<options>][.<dynstyle>][=<pattern>] +means that access checking is delegated to the admin-defined method +indicated by +.BR <name> , +which can be registered at run-time by means of the +.B moduleload +statement. +The fields +.BR <options> , +.B <dynstyle> +and +.B <pattern> +are optional, and are directly passed to the registered parsing routine. +Dynacl is experimental; it must be enabled at compile time. +.LP +The statement +.B dynacl/aci[=<attrname>] +means that the access control is determined by the values in the +.B attrname +of the entry itself. +The optional +.B <attrname> +indicates what attributeType holds the ACI information in the entry. +By default, the +.B OpenLDAPaci +operational attribute is used. +ACIs are experimental; they must be enabled at compile time. +.LP +The statements +.BR ssf=<n> , +.BR transport_ssf=<n> , +.BR tls_ssf=<n> , +and +.BR sasl_ssf=<n> +set the minimum required Security Strength Factor (ssf) needed +to grant access. The value should be positive integer. +.SH THE <ACCESS> FIELD +The optional field +.B <access> ::= [[real]self]{<level>|<priv>} +determines the access level or the specific access privileges the +.B who +field will have. +Its component are defined as +.LP +.nf + <level> ::= none|disclose|auth|compare|search|read|{write|add|delete}|manage + <priv> ::= {=|+|\-}{0|d|x|c|s|r|{w|a|z}|m}+ +.fi +.LP +The modifier +.B self +allows special operations like having a certain access level or privilege +only in case the operation involves the name of the user that's requesting +the access. +It implies the user that requests access is authorized. +The modifier +.B realself +refers to the authenticated DN as opposed to the authorized DN of the +.B self +modifier. +An example is the +.B selfwrite +access to the member attribute of a group, which allows one to add/delete +its own DN from the member list of a group, while being not allowed +to affect other members. +.LP +The +.B level +access model relies on an incremental interpretation of the access +privileges. +The possible levels are +.BR none , +.BR disclose , +.BR auth , +.BR compare , +.BR search , +.BR read , +.BR write , +and +.BR manage . +Each access level implies all the preceding ones, thus +.B manage +grants all access including administrative access. +The +.BR write +access is actually the combination of +.BR add +and +.BR delete , +which respectively restrict the write privilege to add or delete +the specified +.BR <what> . + +.LP +The +.B none +access level disallows all access including disclosure on error. +.LP +The +.B disclose +access level allows disclosure of information on error. +.LP +The +.B auth +access level means that one is allowed access to an attribute to perform +authentication/authorization operations (e.g. +.BR bind ) +with no other access. +This is useful to grant unauthenticated clients the least possible +access level to critical resources, like passwords. +.LP +The +.B priv +access model relies on the explicit setting of access privileges +for each clause. +The +.B = +sign resets previously defined accesses; as a consequence, the final +access privileges will be only those defined by the clause. +The +.B + +and +.B \- +signs add/remove access privileges to the existing ones. +The privileges are +.B m +for manage, +.B w +for write, +.B a +for add, +.B z +for delete, +.B r +for read, +.B s +for search, +.B c +for compare, +.B x +for authentication, and +.B d +for disclose. +More than one of the above privileges can be added in one statement. +.B 0 +indicates no privileges and is used only by itself (e.g., +0). +Note that +.B +az +is equivalent to +.BR +w . +.LP +If no access is given, it defaults to +.BR +0 . +.SH THE <CONTROL> FIELD +The optional field +.B <control> +controls the flow of access rule application. +It can have the forms +.LP +.nf + stop + continue + break +.fi +.LP +where +.BR stop , +the default, means access checking stops in case of match. +The other two forms are used to keep on processing access clauses. +In detail, the +.B continue +form allows for other +.B <who> +clauses in the same +.B <access> +clause to be considered, so that they may result in incrementally altering +the privileges, while the +.B break +form allows for other +.B <access> +clauses that match the same target to be processed. +Consider the (silly) example +.LP +.nf + access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com" attrs=cn + by * =cs break + + access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" + by * +r +.fi +.LP +which allows search and compare privileges to everybody under +the "dc=example,dc=com" tree, with the second rule allowing +also read in the "ou=People" subtree, +or the (even more silly) example +.LP +.nf + access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com" attrs=cn + by * =cs continue + by users +r +.fi +.LP +which grants everybody search and compare privileges, and adds read +privileges to authenticated clients. +.LP +One useful application is to easily grant write privileges to an +.B updatedn +that is different from the +.BR rootdn . +In this case, since the +.B updatedn +needs write access to (almost) all data, one can use +.LP +.nf + access to * + by dn.exact="cn=The Update DN,dc=example,dc=com" write + by * break +.fi +.LP +as the first access rule. +As a consequence, unless the operation is performed with the +.B updatedn +identity, control is passed straight to the subsequent rules. + +.SH OPERATION REQUIREMENTS +Operations require different privileges on different portions of entries. +The following summary applies to primary MDB database backend and the +deprecated BDB and HDB backends.

It takes care to configure it properly. +It uses the transactional database interface of the Oracle Berkeley +DB (BDB) package to store data. +.TP +.B config +This backend is used to manage the configuration of slapd at run-time. +Unlike other backends, only a single instance of the +.B config +backend may be defined. It also instantiates itself automatically, +so it is always present even if not explicitly defined in the +.BR slapd.conf (5) +file. +.TP +.B dnssrv +This backend is experimental. +It serves up referrals based upon SRV resource records held in the +Domain Name System. +.TP +.B hdb +This was the recommended primary backend through OpenLDAP 2.4.40 but it has +since been superseded by the +.BR mdb +backend. It takes care to configure it properly. +.B hdb +is a variant of the +.B bdb +backend that uses a hierarchical database +layout. +This layout stores entry DNs more efficiently than the +.B bdb +backend, +using less space and requiring less work to create, delete, and rename +entries. It is also one of the few backends to support subtree renames. +.TP +.B ldap +This backend acts as a proxy to forward incoming requests to another +LDAP server. +.TP +.B ldif +This database uses the filesystem to build the tree structure +of the database, using plain ascii files to store data. +Its usage should be limited to very simple databases, where performance +is not a requirement. This backend also supports subtree renames. +.TP +.B mdb +This is the recommended primary backend, superseding +.BR hdb . +This backend uses OpenLDAP's own MDB transactional database +library. It is extremely compact and extremely efficient, delivering +much higher performance than the Berkeley DB backends while using +significantly less memory. Also, unlike Berkeley DB, MDB is crash proof, +and requires no special tuning or maintenance. +This backend also supports subtree renames. +.TP +.B meta +This backend performs basic LDAP proxying with respect to a set of +remote LDAP servers. It is an enhancement of the +.B ldap +backend. +.TP +.B monitor +This backend provides information about the running status of the slapd +daemon. Only a single instance of the +.B monitor +backend may be defined. +.TP +.B ndb +This backend is experimental. +It uses the transactional database interface of the MySQL Cluster Engine +(NDB) to store data. Note that Oracle, which now owns MySQL, has withdrawn +support for NDB and this backend is unlikely to be developed any further. +.TP +.B null +Operations in this backend succeed but do nothing. +.TP +.B passwd +This backend is provided for demonstration purposes only. +It serves up user account information from the system +.BR passwd (5) +file. +.TP +.B perl +This backend embeds a +.BR perl (1) +interpreter into slapd. +It runs Perl subroutines to implement LDAP operations. +.TP +.B relay +This backend is experimental. +It redirects LDAP operations to another database +in the same server, based on the naming context of the request. +Its use requires the +.B rwm +overlay (see +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +for details) to rewrite the naming context of the request. +It is primarily intended to implement virtual views on databases +that actually store data. +.TP +.B shell +This backend executes external programs to implement LDAP operations. +It is primarily intended to be used in prototypes. +.TP +.B sql +This backend is experimental. +It services LDAP requests from an SQL database. +.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 slapd\-bdb (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.BR slapd\-dnssrv (5), +.BR slapd\-hdb (5), +.BR slapd\-ldap (5), +.BR slapd\-ldif (5), +.BR slapd\-mdb (5), +.BR slapd\-meta (5), +.BR slapd\-monitor (5), +.BR slapd\-ndb (5), +.BR slapd\-null (5), +.BR slapd\-passwd (5), +.BR slapd\-perl (5), +.BR slapd\-relay (5), +.BR slapd\-shell (5), +.BR slapd\-sql (5), +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd.overlays (5), +.BR slapd (8). +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project diff --git a/doc/man/man5/slapd.conf.5 b/doc/man/man5/slapd.conf.5 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1631995 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/man/man5/slapd.conf.5 @@ -0,0 +1,2085 @@ +.TH SLAPD.CONF 5 "RELEASEDATE" "OpenLDAP LDVERSION" +.\" Copyright 1998-2021 The OpenLDAP Foundation All Rights Reserved. +.\" Copying restrictions apply.

This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools +.BR slapacl (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapauth (8), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapdn (8), +.BR slapindex (8), +and +.BR slaptest (8). +.LP +The +.B slapd.conf +file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to +.B slapd +as a whole (including all backends), followed by zero or more database +backend definitions that contain information specific to a backend +instance. +The configuration options are case-insensitive; +their value, on a case by case basis, may be case-sensitive. +.LP +The general format of +.B slapd.conf +is as follows: +.LP +.nf + # comment - these options apply to every database + <global configuration options> + # first database definition & configuration options + database <backend 1 type> + <configuration options specific to backend 1> + # subsequent database definitions & configuration options + ... +.fi +.LP +As many backend-specific sections as desired may be included. Global +options can be overridden in a backend (for options that appear more +than once, the last appearance in the +.B slapd.conf +file is used). +.LP +If a line begins with white space, it is considered a continuation +of the previous line. No physical line should be over 2000 bytes +long. +.LP +Blank lines and comment lines beginning with +a `#' character are ignored. Note: continuation lines are unwrapped +before comment processing is applied. +.LP +Arguments on configuration lines are separated by white space. If an +argument contains white space, the argument should be enclosed in +double quotes. If an argument contains a double quote (`"') or a +backslash character (`\\'), the character should be preceded by a +backslash character. +.LP +The specific configuration options available are discussed below in the +Global Configuration Options, General Backend Options, and General Database +Options. Backend-specific options are discussed in the +.B slapd\-<backend>(5) +manual pages. Refer to the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more +details on the slapd configuration file. +.SH GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS +Options described in this section apply to all backends, unless specifically +overridden in a backend definition. Arguments that should be replaced by +actual text are shown in brackets <>. +.TP +.B access to <what> "[ by <who> <access> <control> ]+" +Grant access (specified by <access>) to a set of entries and/or +attributes (specified by <what>) by one or more requestors (specified +by <who>). +If no access controls are present, the default policy +allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts +updates to rootdn. (e.g., "access to * by * read"). +The rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING! +See +.BR slapd.access (5) +and the "OpenLDAP's Administrator's Guide" for details. +.TP +.B allow <features> +Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to +allow (default none). +.B bind_v2 +allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests. Note that +.BR slapd (8) +does not truly implement LDAPv2 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494). +.B bind_anon_cred +allows anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g. +when DN is empty). +.B bind_anon_dn +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty. +.B update_anon +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) update operations to be processed +(subject to access controls and other administrative limits). +.B proxy_authz_anon +allows unauthenticated (anonymous) proxy authorization control to be processed +(subject to access controls, authorization and other administrative limits). +.TP +.B argsfile <filename> +The (absolute) name of a file that will hold the +.B slapd +server's command line (program name and options). +.TP +.B attributeoptions [option-name]... +Define tagging attribute options or option tag/range prefixes. +Options must not end with `\-', prefixes must end with `\-'. +The `lang\-' prefix is predefined. +If you use the +.B attributeoptions +directive, `lang\-' will no longer be defined and you must specify it +explicitly if you want it defined. + +An attribute description with a tagging option is a subtype of that +attribute description without the option. +Except for that, options defined this way have no special semantics. +Prefixes defined this way work like the `lang\-' options: +They define a prefix for tagging options starting with the prefix. +That is, if you define the prefix `x\-foo\-', you can use the option +`x\-foo\-bar'. +Furthermore, in a search or compare, a prefix or range name (with +a trailing `\-') matches all options starting with that name, as well +as the option with the range name sans the trailing `\-'. +That is, `x\-foo\-bar\-' matches `x\-foo\-bar' and `x\-foo\-bar\-baz'. + +RFC 4520 reserves options beginning with `x\-' for private experiments. +Other options should be registered with IANA, see RFC 4520 section 3.5. +OpenLDAP also has the `binary' option built in, but this is a transfer +option, not a tagging option. +.HP +.hy 0 +.B attributetype "(\ <oid>\ + [NAME\ <name>]\ + [DESC\ <description>]\ + [OBSOLETE]\ + [SUP\ <oid>]\ + [EQUALITY\ <oid>]\ + [ORDERING\ <oid>]\ + [SUBSTR\ <oid>]\ + [SYNTAX\ <oidlen>]\ + [SINGLE\-VALUE]\ + [COLLECTIVE]\ + [NO\-USER\-MODIFICATION]\ + [USAGE\ <attributeUsage>]\ )" +.RS +Specify an attribute type using the LDAPv3 syntax defined in RFC 4512. +The slapd parser extends the RFC 4512 definition by allowing string +forms as well as numeric OIDs to be used for the attribute OID and +attribute syntax OID. +(See the +.B objectidentifier +description.) +.RE +.TP +.B authid\-rewrite<cmd> <args> +Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names +to an LDAP DN used for authorization purposes. +Its purpose is analogous to that of +.BR authz-regexp +(see below). +The prefix \fIauthid\-\fP is followed by a set of rules analogous +to those described in +.BR slapo\-rwm (5) +for data rewriting (replace the \fIrwm\-\fP prefix with \fIauthid\-\fP). +.B authid\-rewrite<cmd> +and +.B authz\-regexp +rules should not be intermixed. +.TP +.B authz\-policy <policy> +Used to specify which rules to use for Proxy Authorization. Proxy +authorization allows a client to authenticate to the server using one +user's credentials, but specify a different identity to use for authorization +and access control purposes. It essentially allows user A to login as user +B, using user A's password. +The +.B none +flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting. +The +.B from +flag will use rules in the +.I authzFrom +attribute of the authorization DN. +The +.B to +flag will use rules in the +.I authzTo +attribute of the authentication DN. +The +.B any +flag, an alias for the deprecated value of +.BR both , +will allow any of the above, whatever succeeds first (checked in +.BR to , +.B from +sequence. +The +.B all +flag requires both authorizations to succeed. +.LP +.RS +The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed +to perform proxy authorization. +The +.I authzFrom +attribute in an entry specifies which other users +are allowed to proxy login to this entry. The +.I authzTo +attribute in +an entry specifies which other users this user can authorize as. Use of +.I authzTo +rules can be easily +abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute. +In general the +.I authzTo +attribute must be protected with ACLs such that +only privileged users can modify it. +The value of +.I authzFrom +and +.I authzTo +describes an +.B identity +or a set of identities; it can take five forms: +.RS +.TP +.B ldap:///<base>??[<scope>]?<filter> +.RE +.RS +.B dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B u[.<mech>[/<realm>]]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B group[/objectClass[/attributeType]]:<pattern> +.RE +.RS +.B <pattern> +.RE +.RS + +.B <dnstyle>:={exact|onelevel|children|subtree|regex} + +.RE +The first form is a valid LDAP +.B URI +where the +.IR <host>:<port> , +the +.I <attrs> +and the +.I <extensions> +portions must be absent, so that the search occurs locally on either +.I authzFrom +or +.IR authzTo . +The second form is a +.BR DN , +with the optional style modifiers +.IR exact , +.IR onelevel , +.IR children , +and +.I subtree +for exact, onelevel, children and subtree matches, which cause +.I <pattern> +to be normalized according to the DN normalization rules, or the special +.I regex +style, which causes the +.I <pattern> +to be treated as a POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, as +discussed in +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +A pattern of +.I * +means any non-anonymous DN. +The third form is a SASL +.BR id , +with the optional fields +.I <mech> +and +.I <realm> +that allow to specify a SASL +.BR mechanism , +and eventually a SASL +.BR realm , +for those mechanisms that support one. +The need to allow the specification of a mechanism is still debated, +and users are strongly discouraged to rely on this possibility. +The fourth form is a group specification, consisting of the keyword +.BR group , +optionally followed by the specification of the group +.B objectClass +and member +.BR attributeType . +The group with DN +.B <pattern> +is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the values of the +member +.B attributeType +are searched for the asserted DN. +For backwards compatibility, if no identity type is provided, i.e. only +.B <pattern> +is present, an +.I exact DN +is assumed; as a consequence, +.B <pattern> +is subjected to DN normalization. +Since the interpretation of +.I authzFrom +and +.I authzTo +can impact security, users are strongly encouraged +to explicitly set the type of identity specification that is being used. +A subset of these rules can be used as third arg in the +.B authz\-regexp +statement (see below); significantly, the +.IR URI , +provided it results in exactly one entry, +and the +.I dn.exact:<dn> +forms. +.RE +.TP +.B authz\-regexp <match> <replace> +Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names, +such as provided by SASL subsystem, or extracted from certificates +in case of cert-based SASL EXTERNAL, or provided within the RFC 4370 +"proxied authorization" control, to an LDAP DN used for +authorization purposes. Note that the resulting DN need not refer +to an existing entry to be considered valid. When an authorization +request is received from the SASL subsystem, the SASL +.BR USERNAME , +.BR REALM , +and +.B MECHANISM +are taken, when available, and combined into a name of the form +.RS +.RS +.TP +.B UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth + +.RE +This name is then compared against the +.B match +POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, and if the match is successful, +the name is replaced with the +.B replace +string. If there are wildcard strings in the +.B match +regular expression that are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B UID=([^,]*),CN=.* + +.RE +then the portion of the name that matched the wildcard will be stored +in the numbered placeholder variable $1. If there are other wildcard strings +in parenthesis, the matching strings will be in $2, $3, etc. up to $9. The +placeholders can then be used in the +.B replace +string, e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com + +.RE +The replaced name can be either a DN, i.e. a string prefixed by "dn:", +or an LDAP URI. +If the latter, the server will use the URI to search its own database(s) +and, if the search returns exactly one entry, the name is +replaced by the DN of that entry. The LDAP URI must have no +hostport, attrs, or extensions components, but the filter is mandatory, +e.g. +.RS +.TP +.B ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1) + +.RE +The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly +.BR ldap . +Note that this search is subject to access controls. Specifically, +the authentication identity must have "auth" access in the subject. + +Multiple +.B authz\-regexp +options can be given in the configuration file to allow for multiple matching +and replacement patterns. The matching patterns are checked in the order they +appear in the file, stopping at the first successful match. + +.\".B Caution: +.\"Because the plus sign + is a character recognized by the regular expression engine, +.\"and it will appear in names that include a REALM, be careful to escape the +.\"plus sign with a backslash \\+ to remove the character's special meaning. +.RE +.TP +.B concurrency <integer> +Specify a desired level of concurrency.

Attribute values +longer than this length will be processed in segments of this length. The +default is 4. The subany index will also be used in subinitial and +subfinal index lookups when the filter string is longer than the +.I index_substr_if_maxlen +value. +.TP +.B index_substr_any_step <integer> +Specify the steps used in subany index lookups. This value sets the offset +for the segments of a filter string that are processed for a subany index +lookup. The default is 2. For example, with the default values, a search +using this filter "cn=*abcdefgh*" would generate index lookups for +"abcd", "cdef", and "efgh". + +.LP +Note: Indexing support depends on the particular backend in use.

The default is 0. +The +.B maxssf=<factor> +property specifies the maximum acceptable +.I security strength factor +as an integer (see minssf description). The default is INT_MAX. +The +.B maxbufsize=<size> +property specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer +size allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536. +.TP +.B schemadn <dn> +Specify the distinguished name for the subschema subentry that +controls the entries on this server. The default is "cn=Subschema". +.TP +.B security <factors> +Specify a set of security strength factors (separated by white space) +to require (see +.BR sasl\-secprops 's +.B minssf +option for a description of security strength factors). +The directive may be specified globally and/or per-database. +.B ssf=<n> +specifies the overall security strength factor. +.B transport=<n> +specifies the transport security strength factor. +.B tls=<n> +specifies the TLS security strength factor. +.B sasl=<n> +specifies the SASL security strength factor. +.B update_ssf=<n> +specifies the overall security strength factor to require for +directory updates. +.B update_transport=<n> +specifies the transport security strength factor to require for +directory updates. +.B update_tls=<n> +specifies the TLS security strength factor to require for +directory updates. +.B update_sasl=<n> +specifies the SASL security strength factor to require for +directory updates. +.B simple_bind=<n> +specifies the security strength factor required for +.I simple +username/password authentication. +Note that the +.B transport +factor is measure of security provided by the underlying transport, +e.g. ldapi:// (and eventually IPSEC). It is not normally used. +.TP +.B serverID <integer> [<URL>] +Specify an integer ID from 0 to 4095 for this server (limited +to 3 hexadecimal digits). The ID may also be specified as a +hexadecimal ID by prefixing the value with "0x". +Non-zero IDs are +required when using multi-provider replication and each provider must have a +unique non-zero ID. Note that this requirement also applies to separate providers +contributing to a glued set of databases. +If the URL is provided, this directive may be specified +multiple times, providing a complete list of participating servers +and their IDs. The fully qualified hostname of each server should be +used in the supplied URLs. The IDs are used in the "replica id" field +of all CSNs generated by the specified server.

Using this option will allow Modify, +Compare, and filter evaluations on these attributes to be performed +more efficiently. The resulting sort order depends on the +attributes' syntax and matching rules and may not correspond to +lexical order or any other recognizable order. +.TP +.B tcp-buffer [listener=<URL>] [{read|write}=]<size> +Specify the size of the TCP buffer. +A global value for both read and write TCP buffers related to any listener +is defined, unless the listener is explicitly specified, +or either the read or write qualifiers are used. +See +.BR tcp (7) +for details. +Note that some OS-es implement automatic TCP buffer tuning. +.TP +.B threads <integer> +Specify the maximum size of the primary thread pool. +The default is 16; the minimum value is 2. +.TP +.B timelimit {<integer>|unlimited} +.TP +.B timelimit time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer> [...] +Specify the maximum number of seconds (in real time) +.B slapd +will spend answering a search request.

The authoritative list +is in the source code for Mozilla NSS in the file sslinfo.c in the structure +.nf + static const SSLCipherSuiteInfo suiteInfo[] +.fi +.RE +.TP +.B TLSCACertificateFile <filename> +Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the Certificate +Authorities that +.B slapd +will recognize. The certificate for +the CA that signed the server certificate must be included among +these certificates. If the signing CA was not a top-level (root) CA, +certificates for the entire sequence of CA's from the signing CA to +the top-level CA should be present. Multiple certificates are simply +appended to the file; the order is not significant. +.TP +.B TLSCACertificatePath <path> +Specifies the path of a directory that contains Certificate Authority +certificates in separate individual files. Usually only one of this +or the TLSCACertificateFile is used. This directive is not supported +when using GnuTLS. + +When using Mozilla NSS, <path> may contain a Mozilla NSS cert/key +database. If <path> contains a Mozilla NSS cert/key database and +CA cert files, OpenLDAP will use the cert/key database and will +ignore the CA cert files. +.TP +.B TLSCertificateFile <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the +.B slapd +server certificate. + +When using Mozilla NSS, if using a cert/key database (specified with +TLSCACertificatePath), TLSCertificateFile specifies +the name of the certificate to use: +.nf + TLSCertificateFile Server-Cert +.fi +If using a token other than the internal built in token, specify the +token name first, followed by a colon: +.nf + TLSCertificateFile my hardware device:Server-Cert +.fi +Use certutil \-L to list the certificates by name: +.nf + certutil \-d /path/to/certdbdir \-L +.fi +.TP +.B TLSCertificateKeyFile <filename> +Specifies the file that contains the +.B slapd +server private key that matches the certificate stored in the +.B TLSCertificateFile +file. Currently, the private key must not be protected with a password, so +it is of critical importance that it is protected carefully. + +When using Mozilla NSS, TLSCertificateKeyFile specifies the name of +a file that contains the password for the key for the certificate specified with +TLSCertificateFile. The modutil command can be used to turn off password +protection for the cert/key database. For example, if TLSCACertificatePath +specifes /etc/openldap/certdb as the location of the cert/key database, use +modutil to change the password to the empty string: +.nf + modutil \-dbdir /etc/openldap/certdb \-changepw 'NSS Certificate DB' +.fi +You must have the old password, if any. Ignore the WARNING about the running +browser. Press 'Enter' for the new password. +.TP +.B TLSDHParamFile <filename> +This directive specifies the file that contains parameters for Diffie-Hellman +ephemeral key exchange. This is required in order to use a DSA certificate on +the server, or an RSA certificate missing the "key encipherment" key usage. +Note that setting this option may also enable +Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchanges in certain non-default cipher suites. +Anonymous key exchanges should generally be avoided since they provide no +actual client or server authentication and provide no protection against +man-in-the-middle attacks. +You should append "!ADH" to your cipher suites to ensure that these suites +are not used. +When using Mozilla NSS these parameters are always generated randomly +so this directive is ignored. +.TP +.B TLSECName <name> +Specify the name of the curve(s) to use for Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman +ephemeral key exchange. This option is only used for OpenSSL. +This option is not used with GnuTLS; the curves may be +chosen in the GnuTLS ciphersuite specification. This option is also +ignored for Mozilla NSS. +.TP +.B TLSProtocolMin <major>[.<minor>] +Specifies minimum SSL/TLS protocol version that will be negotiated. +If the server doesn't support at least that version, +the SSL handshake will fail. +To require TLS 1.x or higher, set this option to 3.(x+1), +e.g., + +.nf + TLSProtocolMin 3.2 +.fi + +would require TLS 1.1. +Specifying a minimum that is higher than that supported by the +OpenLDAP implementation will result in it requiring the +highest level that it does support. +This directive is ignored with GnuTLS. +.TP +.B TLSRandFile <filename> +Specifies the file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random +is not available. Generally set to the name of the EGD/PRNGD socket. +The environment variable RANDFILE can also be used to specify the filename. +This directive is ignored with GnuTLS and Mozilla NSS. +.TP +.B TLSVerifyClient <level> +Specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an +incoming TLS session, if any. +The +.B <level> +can be specified as one of the following keywords: +.RS +.TP +.B never +This is the default. +.B slapd +will not ask the client for a certificate. +.TP +.B allow +The client certificate is requested.

They are supported by every +type of backend. Note that the +.B database +and at least one +.B suffix +option are mandatory for each database. +.TP +.B database <databasetype> +Mark the beginning of a new database instance definition. <databasetype> +should be one of +.BR bdb , +.BR config , +.BR dnssrv , +.BR hdb , +.BR ldap , +.BR ldif , +.BR mdb , +.BR meta , +.BR monitor , +.BR null , +.BR passwd , +.BR perl , +.BR relay , +.BR shell , +or +.BR sql , +depending on which backend will serve the database. + +LDAP operations, even subtree searches, normally access only one +database. +That can be changed by gluing databases together with the +.B subordinate +keyword. +Access controls and some overlays can also involve multiple databases. +.TP +.B add_content_acl on | off +Controls whether Add operations will perform ACL checks on +the content of the entry being added. This check is off +by default. See the +.BR slapd.access (5) +manual page for more details on ACL requirements for +Add operations. +.TP +.B extra_attrs <attrlist> +Lists what attributes need to be added to search requests. +Local storage backends return the entire entry to the frontend. +The frontend takes care of only returning the requested attributes +that are allowed by ACLs. +However, features like access checking and so may need specific +attributes that are not automatically returned by remote storage +backends, like proxy backends and so on. +.B <attrlist> +is a list of attributes that are needed for internal purposes +and thus always need to be collected, even when not explicitly +requested by clients. +.TP +.B hidden on | off +Controls whether the database will be used to answer +queries. A database that is hidden will never be +selected to answer any queries, and any suffix configured +on the database will be ignored in checks for conflicts +with other databases. By default, hidden is off. +.TP +.B lastmod on | off +Controls whether +.B slapd +will automatically maintain the +modifiersName, modifyTimestamp, creatorsName, and +createTimestamp attributes for entries. It also controls +the entryCSN and entryUUID attributes, which are needed +by the syncrepl provider. By default, lastmod is on. +.TP +.B limits <selector> <limit> [<limit> [...]] +Specify time and size limits based on the operation's initiator or +base DN. +The argument +.B <selector> +can be any of +.RS +.RS +.TP +anonymous | users | [<dnspec>=]<pattern> | group[/oc[/at]]=<pattern> + +.RE +with +.RS +.TP +<dnspec> ::= dn[.<type>][.<style>] +.TP +<type> ::= self | this +.TP +<style> ::= exact | base | onelevel | subtree | children | regex | anonymous + +.RE +DN type +.B self +is the default and means the bound user, while +.B this +means the base DN of the operation. +The term +.B anonymous +matches all unauthenticated clients. +The term +.B users +matches all authenticated clients; +otherwise an +.B exact +dn pattern is assumed unless otherwise specified by qualifying +the (optional) key string +.B dn +with +.B exact +or +.B base +(which are synonyms), to require an exact match; with +.BR onelevel , +to require exactly one level of depth match; with +.BR subtree , +to allow any level of depth match, including the exact match; with +.BR children , +to allow any level of depth match, not including the exact match; +.BR regex +explicitly requires the (default) match based on POSIX (''extended'') +regular expression pattern. +Finally, +.B anonymous +matches unbound operations; the +.B pattern +field is ignored. +The same behavior is obtained by using the +.B anonymous +form of the +.B <selector> +clause. +The term +.BR group , +with the optional objectClass +.B oc +and attributeType +.B at +fields, followed by +.BR pattern , +sets the limits for any DN listed in the values of the +.B at +attribute (default +.BR member ) +of the +.B oc +group objectClass (default +.BR groupOfNames ) +whose DN exactly matches +.BR pattern . + +The currently supported limits are +.B size +and +.BR time . + +The syntax for time limits is +.BR time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer> , +where +.I integer +is the number of seconds slapd will spend answering a search request. +If no time limit is explicitly requested by the client, the +.BR soft +limit is used; if the requested time limit exceeds the +.BR hard +.\"limit, an +.\".I "Administrative limit exceeded" +.\"error is returned. +limit, the value of the limit is used instead. +If the +.BR hard +limit is set to the keyword +.IR soft , +the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no hard limit is enforced. +Explicit requests for time limits smaller or equal to the +.BR hard +limit are honored. +If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the +.BR soft +limit, and the +.BR hard +limit is set to +.IR soft , +to preserve the original behavior. + +The syntax for size limits is +.BR size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer> , +where +.I integer +is the maximum number of entries slapd will return answering a search +request. +If no size limit is explicitly requested by the client, the +.BR soft +limit is used; if the requested size limit exceeds the +.BR hard +.\"limit, an +.\".I "Administrative limit exceeded" +.\"error is returned. +limit, the value of the limit is used instead. +If the +.BR hard +limit is set to the keyword +.IR soft , +the soft limit is used in either case; if it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no hard limit is enforced. +Explicit requests for size limits smaller or equal to the +.BR hard +limit are honored. +The +.BR unchecked +specifier sets a limit on the number of candidates a search request is allowed +to examine. +The rationale behind it is that searches for non-properly indexed +attributes may result in large sets of candidates, which must be +examined by +.BR slapd (8) +to determine whether they match the search filter or not. +The +.B unchecked +limit provides a means to drop such operations before they are even +started. +If the selected candidates exceed the +.BR unchecked +limit, the search will abort with +.IR "Unwilling to perform" . +If it is set to the keyword +.IR unlimited , +no limit is applied (the default). +If it is set to +.IR disabled , +the search is not even performed; this can be used to disallow searches +for a specific set of users. +If no limit specifier is set, the value is assigned to the +.BR soft +limit, and the +.BR hard +limit is set to +.IR soft , +to preserve the original behavior. + +In case of no match, the global limits are used. +The default values are the same as for +.B sizelimit +and +.BR timelimit ; +no limit is set on +.BR unchecked . + +If +.B pagedResults +control is requested, the +.B hard +size limit is used by default, because the request of a specific page size +is considered an explicit request for a limitation on the number +of entries to be returned. +However, the size limit applies to the total count of entries returned within +the search, and not to a single page. +Additional size limits may be enforced; the syntax is +.BR size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited} , +where +.I integer +is the max page size if no explicit limit is set; the keyword +.I noEstimate +inhibits the server from returning an estimate of the total number +of entries that might be returned +(note: the current implementation does not return any estimate). +The keyword +.I unlimited +indicates that no limit is applied to the pagedResults control page size. +The syntax +.B size.prtotal={<integer>|unlimited|disabled} +allows one to set a limit on the total number of entries that the pagedResults +control will return. +By default it is set to the +.B hard +limit. +When set, +.I integer +is the max number of entries that the whole search with pagedResults control +can return. +Use +.I unlimited +to allow unlimited number of entries to be returned, e.g. to allow +the use of the pagedResults control as a means to circumvent size +limitations on regular searches; the keyword +.I disabled +disables the control, i.e. no paged results can be returned. +Note that the total number of entries returned when the pagedResults control +is requested cannot exceed the +.B hard +size limit of regular searches unless extended by the +.B prtotal +switch. + +The \fBlimits\fP statement is typically used to let an unlimited +number of entries be returned by searches performed +with the identity used by the consumer for synchronization purposes +by means of the RFC 4533 LDAP Content Synchronization protocol +(see \fBsyncrepl\fP for details). +.RE +.TP +.B maxderefdepth <depth> +Specifies the maximum number of aliases to dereference when trying to +resolve an entry, used to avoid infinite alias loops. The default is 15. +.TP +.B mirrormode on | off +This option puts a consumer database into "mirror" mode. Update +operations will be accepted from any user, not just the updatedn. The +database must already be configured as a syncrepl consumer +before this keyword may be set. This mode also requires a +.B serverID +(see above) to be configured. +By default, mirrormode is off. +.TP +.B monitoring on | off +This option enables database-specific monitoring in the entry related +to the current database in the "cn=Databases,cn=Monitor" subtree +of the monitor database, if the monitor database is enabled. +Currently, only the BDB and the HDB databases provide database-specific +monitoring. +The default depends on the backend type. +.TP +.B overlay <overlay-name> +Add the specified overlay to this database. An overlay is a piece of +code that intercepts database operations in order to extend or change +them. Overlays are pushed onto +a stack over the database, and so they will execute in the reverse +of the order in which they were configured and the database itself +will receive control last of all. See the +.BR slapd.overlays (5) +manual page for an overview of the available overlays. +Note that all of the database's +regular settings should be configured before any overlay settings. +.TP +.B readonly on | off +This option puts the database into "read-only" mode. Any attempts to +modify the database will return an "unwilling to perform" error. By +default, readonly is off. +.TP +.B restrict <oplist> +Specify a whitespace separated list of operations that are restricted. +If defined inside a database specification, restrictions apply only +to that database, otherwise they are global. +Operations can be any of +.BR add , +.BR bind , +.BR compare , +.BR delete , +.BR extended[=<OID>] , +.BR modify , +.BR rename , +.BR search , +or the special pseudo-operations +.B read +and +.BR write , +which respectively summarize read and write operations. +The use of +.I restrict write +is equivalent to +.I readonly on +(see above). +The +.B extended +keyword allows one to indicate the OID of the specific operation +to be restricted. +.TP +.B rootdn <dn> +Specify the distinguished name that is not subject to access control +or administrative limit restrictions for operations on this database. +This DN may or may not be associated with an entry. An empty root +DN (the default) specifies no root access is to be granted. It is +recommended that the rootdn only be specified when needed (such as +when initially populating a database). If the rootdn is within +a namingContext (suffix) of the database, a simple bind password +may also be provided using the +.B rootpw +directive. Many optional features, including syncrepl, require the +rootdn to be defined for the database. +.TP +.B rootpw <password> +Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn. The +password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext +(suffix) of the database. +This option accepts all RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to +the server (see +.B password\-hash +description) as well as cleartext. +.BR slappasswd (8) +may be used to generate a hash of a password. Cleartext +and \fB{CRYPT}\fP passwords are not recommended. If empty +(the default), authentication of the root DN is by other means +(e.g. SASL). Use of SASL is encouraged. +.TP +.B suffix <dn suffix> +Specify the DN suffix of queries that will be passed to this +backend database. Multiple suffix lines can be given and at least one is +required for each database definition. + +If the suffix of one database is "inside" that of another, the database +with the inner suffix must come first in the configuration file. +You may also want to glue such databases together with the +.B subordinate +keyword. +.TP +.B subordinate [advertise] +Specify that the current backend database is a subordinate of another +backend database. A subordinate database may have only one suffix. This +option may be used to glue multiple databases into a single namingContext. +If the suffix of the current database is within the namingContext of a +superior database, searches against the superior database will be +propagated to the subordinate as well. All of the databases +associated with a single namingContext should have identical rootdns. +Behavior of other LDAP operations is unaffected by this setting. In +particular, it is not possible to use moddn to move an entry from +one subordinate to another subordinate within the namingContext. + +If the optional \fBadvertise\fP flag is supplied, the naming context of +this database is advertised in the root DSE. The default is to hide this +database context, so that only the superior context is visible. + +If the slap tools +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapadd (8), +or +.BR slapindex (8) +are used on the superior database, any glued subordinates that support +these tools are opened as well. + +Databases that are glued together should usually be configured with the +same indices (assuming they support indexing), even for attributes that +only exist in some of these databases. In general, all of the glued +databases should be configured as similarly as possible, since the intent +is to provide the appearance of a single directory. + +Note that the \fIsubordinate\fP functionality is implemented internally +by the \fIglue\fP overlay and as such its behavior will interact with other +overlays in use. By default, the glue overlay is automatically configured as +the last overlay on the superior backend. Its position on the backend +can be explicitly configured by setting an \fBoverlay glue\fP directive +at the desired position. This explicit configuration is necessary e.g. +when using the \fIsyncprov\fP overlay, which needs to follow \fIglue\fP +in order to work over all of the glued databases. E.g. +.RS +.nf + database bdb + suffix dc=example,dc=com + ... + overlay glue + overlay syncprov +.fi +.RE +.TP +.B sync_use_subentry +Store the syncrepl contextCSN in a subentry instead of the context entry +of the database.

The consumer +.B slapd +will send search requests to the provider +.B slapd +according to the search specification. The search specification includes +.BR searchbase ", " scope ", " filter ", " attrs ", " attrsonly ", " sizelimit ", " +and +.B timelimit +parameters as in the normal search specification. +The \fBscope\fP defaults to \fBsub\fP, the \fBfilter\fP defaults to +\fB(objectclass=*)\fP, while there is no default \fBsearchbase\fP. The +\fBattrs\fP list defaults to \fB"*,+"\fP to return all user and operational +attributes, and \fBattrsonly\fP is unset by default. +The \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBtimelimit\fP only +accept "unlimited" and positive integers, and both default to "unlimited". +The \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBtimelimit\fP parameters define +a consumer requested limitation on the number of entries that can be returned +by the LDAP Content Synchronization operation; as such, it is intended +to implement partial replication based on the size of the replicated database +and on the time required by the synchronization. +Note, however, that any provider-side limits for the replication identity +will be enforced by the provider regardless of the limits requested +by the LDAP Content Synchronization operation, much like for any other +search operation. +.B exattrs +option may also be used to specify attributes that should be omitted +from incoming entries. +The \fBscope\fP defaults to \fBsub\fP, the \fBfilter\fP defaults to +\fB(objectclass=*)\fP, and there is no default \fBsearchbase\fP. The +\fBattrs\fP list defaults to \fB"*,+"\fP to return all user and operational +attributes, and \fBattrsonly\fP and \fBexattrs\fP are unset by default. +The \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBtimelimit\fP only +accept "unlimited" and positive integers, and both default to "unlimited". +Note, however, that any provider-side limits for the replication identity +will be enforced by the provider regardless of the limits requested +by the LDAP Content Synchronization operation, much like for any other +search operation. + +The LDAP Content Synchronization protocol has two operation types. +In the +.B refreshOnly +operation, the next synchronization search operation +is periodically rescheduled at an interval time (specified by +.B interval +parameter; 1 day by default) +after each synchronization operation finishes. +In the +.B refreshAndPersist +operation, a synchronization search remains persistent in the provider slapd. +Further updates to the provider will generate +.B searchResultEntry +to the consumer slapd as the search responses to the persistent +synchronization search. If the initial search fails due to an error, the +next synchronization search operation is periodically rescheduled at an +interval time (specified by +.B interval +parameter; 1 day by default) + +If an error occurs during replication, the consumer will attempt to +reconnect according to the +.B retry +parameter which is a list of the <retry interval> and <# of retries> pairs. +For example, retry="60 10 300 3" lets the consumer retry every 60 seconds +for the first 10 times and then retry every 300 seconds for the next 3 +times before stop retrying. The `+' in <# of retries> means indefinite +number of retries until success. +If no +.B retry +was specified, by default syncrepl retries every hour forever. + +The schema checking can be enforced at the LDAP Sync +consumer site by turning on the +.B schemachecking +parameter. The default is \fBoff\fP. +Schema checking \fBon\fP means that replicated entries must have +a structural objectClass, must obey to objectClass requirements +in terms of required/allowed attributes, and that naming attributes +and distinguished values must be present. +As a consequence, schema checking should be \fBoff\fP when partial +replication is used. + +The +.B network\-timeout +parameter sets how long the consumer will wait to establish a +network connection to the provider. Once a connection is +established, the +.B timeout +parameter determines how long the consumer will wait for the initial +Bind request to complete. The defaults for these parameters come +from +.BR ldap.conf (5). + +A +.B bindmethod +of +.B simple +requires the options +.B binddn +and +.B credentials +and should only be used when adequate security services +(e.g. TLS or IPSEC) are in place. +.B REMEMBER: simple bind credentials must be in cleartext! +A +.B bindmethod +of +.B sasl +requires the option +.B saslmech. +Depending on the mechanism, an authentication identity and/or +credentials can be specified using +.B authcid +and +.B credentials. +The +.B authzid +parameter may be used to specify an authorization identity. +Specific security properties (as with the +.B sasl\-secprops +keyword above) for a SASL bind can be set with the +.B secprops +option. A non default SASL realm can be set with the +.B realm +option. +The identity used for synchronization by the consumer should be allowed +to receive an unlimited number of entries in response to a search request. +The provider, other than allow authentication of the syncrepl identity, +should grant that identity appropriate access privileges to the data +that is being replicated (\fBaccess\fP directive), and appropriate time +and size limits. +This can be accomplished by either allowing unlimited \fBsizelimit\fP +and \fBtimelimit\fP, or by setting an appropriate \fBlimits\fP statement +in the consumer's configuration (see \fBsizelimit\fP and \fBlimits\fP +for details). + +The +.B keepalive +parameter sets the values of \fIidle\fP, \fIprobes\fP, and \fIinterval\fP +used to check whether a socket is alive; +.I idle +is the number of seconds a connection needs to remain idle before TCP +starts sending keepalive probes; +.I probes +is the maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send before dropping +the connection; +.I interval +is interval in seconds between individual keepalive probes. +Only some systems support the customization of these values; +the +.B keepalive +parameter is ignored otherwise, and system-wide settings are used. + +The +.B starttls +parameter specifies use of the StartTLS extended operation +to establish a TLS session before Binding to the provider. If the +.B critical +argument is supplied, the session will be aborted if the StartTLS request +fails. Otherwise the syncrepl session continues without TLS. The +.B tls_reqcert +setting defaults to "demand", the +.B tls_reqsan +seting defaults to "allow", and the other TLS settings +default to the same as the main slapd TLS settings. + +The +.B suffixmassage +parameter allows the consumer to pull entries from a remote directory +whose DN suffix differs from the local directory. The portion of the +remote entries' DNs that matches the \fIsearchbase\fP will be replaced +with the suffixmassage DN. + +Rather than replicating whole entries, the consumer can query logs of +data modifications. This mode of operation is referred to as \fIdelta +syncrepl\fP. In addition to the above parameters, the +.B logbase +and +.B logfilter +parameters must be set appropriately for the log that will be used. The +.B syncdata +parameter must be set to either "accesslog" if the log conforms to the +.BR slapo\-accesslog (5) +log format, or "changelog" if the log conforms +to the obsolete \fIchangelog\fP format. If the +.B syncdata +parameter is omitted or set to "default" then the log parameters are +ignored. +.RE +.TP +.B updatedn <dn> +This option is only applicable in a replica +database. +It specifies the DN permitted to update (subject to access controls) +the replica.

The +proxy cache overlay may be used with any backend but is intended for use +with the +.BR ldap , +.BR meta , +and +.BR sql +backends. Please note that the underlying backend must have a configured +.BR rootdn. +.TP +.B pcache <database> <max_entries> <numattrsets> <entry_limit> <cc_period> +The directive enables proxy caching in the current backend and sets general +cache parameters. A <database> backend will be used internally to maintain +the cached entries. The chosen database will need to be configured as well, +as shown below. Cache replacement is invoked when the cache size grows to +<max_entries> entries and continues till the cache size drops below this size. +<numattrsets> should be equal to the number of following \fBpcacheAttrset\fP +directives. Queries are cached only if they correspond to a cacheable template +(specified by the \fBpcacheTemplate\fP directive) and the number of entries +returned is less than <entry_limit>. Consistency check is performed every +<cc_period> duration (specified in secs). In each cycle queries with expired +"time to live(\fBTTL\fP)" are removed. A sample cache configuration is: +.LP +.RS +pcache \fBmdb 10000 1 50 100\fP +.RE + +.TP +.B pcacheAttrset <index> <attrs...> +Used to associate a set of attributes <attrs..> with an <index>. Each attribute +set is associated with an integer from 0 to <numattrsets>\-1.

A set of attributes can contain the +special attributes "*" (all user attributes), "+" (all operational attributes) +or both; in the latter case, any other attribute is redundant and should +be avoided for clarity. A set of attributes can contain "1.1" as the only +attribute; in this case, only the presence of the entries is cached. +Attributes prefixed by "undef:" need not be present in the schema. + +.TP +.B pcacheMaxQueries <queries> +Specify the maximum number of queries to cache. The default is 10000. + +.TP +.B pcacheValidate { TRUE | FALSE } +Check whether the results of a query being cached can actually be returned +from the cache by the proxy DSA. When enabled, the entries being returned +while caching the results of a query are checked to ensure consistency +with the schema known to the proxy DSA. In case of failure, the query +is not cached. By default, the check is off. + +.TP +.B pcacheOffline { TRUE | FALSE } +Set the cache to offline mode. While offline, the consistency checker +will be stopped and no expirations will occur. This allows the cache +contents to be used indefinitely while the proxy is cut off from network +access to the remote DSA. The default is FALSE, i.e. consistency +checks and expirations will be performed. + +.TP +.B pcachePersist { TRUE | FALSE } +Specify whether the cached queries should be saved across restarts +of the caching proxy, to provide hot startup of the cache. Only non-expired +queries are reloaded. The default is FALSE. + +.BR CAVEAT : +of course, the configuration of the proxy cache must not change +across restarts; the pcache overlay does not perform any consistency +checks in this sense. +In detail, this option should be disabled unless the existing +.B pcacheAttrset +and +.B pcacheTemplate +directives are not changed neither in order nor in contents. +If new sets and templates are added, or if other details of the pcache +overlay configuration changed, this feature should not be affected. + +.TP +.B pcacheTemplate <template_string> <attrset_index> <ttl> [<negttl> [<limitttl> [<ttr>]]] +Specifies a cacheable template and "time to live" <ttl> of queries +belonging to the template. An optional <negttl> can be used to specify +that negative results (i.e., queries that returned zero entries) +should also be cached for the specified amount of time. Negative +results are not cached by default (<negttl> set to 0). +An optional <limitttl> can be used to specify that results +hitting a sizelimit should also be cached for the specified amount of time. +Results hitting a sizelimit are not cached by default (<limitttl> set to 0). +An optional <ttr> "time to refresh" can be used to specify that cached +entries should be automatically refreshed after a certain time. Entries +will only be refreshed while they have not expired, so the <ttl> should +be larger than the <ttr> for this option to be useful. Entries are not +refreshed by default (<ttr> set to 0). + +.TP +.B pcacheBind <filter_template> <attrset_index> <ttr> <scope> <base> +Specifies a template for caching Simple Bind credentials based on an +already defined \fBpcacheTemplate\fP. The <filter_template> is similar +to a <template_string> except that it may have some values present. Its +purpose is to allow the overlay to generate filters similar to what other +applications do when they do a Search immediately before a Bind. E.g., +if a client like nss_ldap is configured to search for a user with the +filter "(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=<username>))" then the corresponding +template "(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=))" should be used here. When +converted to a regular template e.g. "(&(objectClass=)(uid=))" this +template and the <attrset_index> must match an already defined +\fBpcacheTemplate\fP clause. The "time to refresh" <ttr> determines the +time interval after which the cached credentials may be refreshed. The +first Bind request that occurs after that time will trigger the refresh +attempt. Refreshes are not performed when the overlay is Offline. There +is no "time to live" parameter for the Bind credentials; the credentials +will expire according to the \fBpcacheTemplate\fP ttl. The <scope> and +<base> should match the search scope and base used by the authentication +clients. The cached credentials are not stored in cleartext, they are +hashed using the default password hash. +By default Bind caching is not enabled. + +.TP +.B pcachePosition { head | tail } +Specifies whether the response callback should be placed at the +.B tail +(the default) or at the +.B head +(actually, wherever the stacking sequence would make it appear) +of the callback list. This affects how the overlay interacts with other +overlays, since the proxycache overlay should be executed as early +as possible (and thus configured as late as possible), to get +a chance to return the cached results; however, if executed early +at response, it would cache entries that may be later "massaged" +by other databases and thus returned \fIafter\fP massaging the first +time, and \fIbefore\fP massaging when cached. + +.TP +There are some constraints: + +all values must be positive; + +.B <entry_limit> +must be less than or equal to +.BR <max_entries> ; + +.B <numattrsets> +attribute sets SHOULD be defined by using the directive +.BR pcacheAttrset ; + +all attribute sets SHOULD be referenced by (at least) one +.B pcacheTemplate +directive; + +.LP +The following adds a template with filter string \fB(&(sn=)(givenName=))\fP +and attributes mail, postaladdress, telephonenumber and a TTL of 1 hour. +.LP +.RS +.nf +pcacheAttrset \fB0 mail postaladdress telephonenumber\fP +pcacheTemplate \fB(&(sn=)(givenName=)) 0 3600\fP +.fi +.RE + +.LP +Directives for configuring the underlying database must also be given, as +shown here: +.LP +.RS +.nf +directory /var/tmp/cache +cachesize 100 +.fi +.RE +.LP +Any valid directives for the chosen database type may be used.

When instantiated, it intercepts, +decodes and applies specific password policy controls to overall +use of a backend database, changes to user password fields, etc. +.P +The overlay provides a variety of password control mechanisms. They +include password aging -- both minimum and maximum ages, password +reuse and duplication control, account time-outs, mandatory password +resets, acceptable password content, and even grace logins. +Different groups of users may be associated with different password +policies, and there is no limit to the number of password policies +that may be created. +.P +Note that some of the policies do not take effect when the operation +is performed with the +.B rootdn +identity; all the operations, when performed with any other identity, +may be subjected to constraints, like access control. This overlay +requires a rootdn to be configured on the database. +.P +Note that the IETF Password Policy proposal for LDAP makes sense +when considering a single-valued password attribute, while +the userPassword attribute allows multiple values. This implementation +enforces a single value for the userPassword attribute, despite +its specification. +.P +In addition to supporting the IETF Password Policy, this module can +send the Netscape Password validity controls when configured to do so. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +configuration options apply to the ppolicy overlay. They should appear +after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B ppolicy_default <policyDN> +Specify the DN of the pwdPolicy object to use when no specific policy is +set on a given user's entry. If there is no specific policy for an entry +and no default is given, then no policies will be enforced. +.TP +.B ppolicy_forward_updates +Specify that policy state changes that result from Bind operations (such +as recording failures, lockout, etc.) on a consumer should be forwarded +to a provider instead of being written directly into the consumer's local +database. This setting is only useful on a replication consumer, and +also requires the +.B updateref +setting and +.B chain +overlay to be appropriately configured. +.TP +.B ppolicy_hash_cleartext +Specify that cleartext passwords present in Add and Modify requests should +be hashed before being stored in the database. This violates the X.500/LDAP +information model, but may be needed to compensate for LDAP clients that +don't use the Password Modify extended operation to manage passwords. It +is recommended that when this option is used that compare, search, and +read access be denied to all directory users. +.TP +.B ppolicy_use_lockout +A client will always receive an LDAP +.B InvalidCredentials +response when +Binding to a locked account. By default, when a Password Policy control +was provided on the Bind request, a Password Policy response will be +included with no special error code set. This option changes the +Password Policy response to include the +.B AccountLocked +error code. Note +that sending the +.B AccountLocked +error code provides useful information +to an attacker; sites that are sensitive to security issues should not +enable this option. +.TP +.B ppolicy_send_netscape_controls +If set, ppolicy will send the password policy expired (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.4) +and password policy expiring (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.5) controls when +appropriate.

The following specific directives +can be used to configure the retcode overlay: +.TP +.B retcode\-parent <DN> +This directive defines the parent DN where dynamically generated +entries reside. +If not defined, the suffix of the database is used. +.HP +.hy 0 +.B retcode\-item <RDN> <errCode> [op=<oplist>] [text=<message>] +.B [ref=<referral>] [sleeptime=<sec>] [matched=<DN>] +.B [unsolicited=<OID>[:<data>]] [flags=[\{pre|post\}\-]disconnect[,...]] +.RS +A dynamically generated entry, located below \fBretcode\-parent\fP. +The \fBerrCode\fP is the number of the response code;

All in all, when remapping +a remote server via back-ldap (\fBslapd\-ldap\fP(5)) +or back-meta (\fBslapd\-meta\fP(5)) +their definition can be easily obtained by querying the \fIsubschemaSubentry\fP +of the remote server; the problem should not exist when remapping a local +database. +Note, however, that the decision whether to rewrite or not attributeTypes +with +.IR "distinguishedName syntax" , +requires the knowledge of the attributeType syntax. +See the REWRITING section for details. +.LP +Note that when mapping DN-valued attributes from local to remote, +first the DN is rewritten, and then the attributeType is mapped; +while mapping from remote to local, first the attributeType is mapped, +and then the DN is rewritten. +As such, it is important that the local attributeType is appropriately +defined as using the distinguishedName syntax. +Also, note that there are DN-related syntaxes (i.e. compound types with +a portion that is DN-valued), like nameAndOptionalUID, +whose values are currently not rewritten. +.LP +If the foreign type of an attribute mapping is not defined on the local +server, it might be desirable to have the attribute values normalized after +the mapping process. Not normalizing the values can lead to wrong results, +when the +.B rwm +overlay is used together with e.g. the +.B pcache +overlay. This normalization can be enabled by means of the +.B rwm\-normalize\-mapped\-attrs +directive. +.TP +.B rwm\-normalize\-mapped\-attrs {yes|no} +Set this to "yes", if the +.B rwm +overlay should try to normalize the values of attributes that are mapped from +an attribute type that is unknown to the local server. The default value of +this setting is "no". +.TP +.B rwm-drop-unrequested-attrs {yes|no} +Set this to "yes", if the +.B rwm +overlay should drop attributes that are not explicitly requested +by a search operation. +When this is set to "no", the +.B rwm +overlay will leave all attributes in place, so that subsequent modules +can further manipulate them. +In any case, unrequested attributes will be omitted from search results +by the frontend, when the search entry response package is encoded. +The default value of this setting is "yes". +.SH SUFFIX MASSAGING +A basic feature of the +.B rwm +overlay is the capability to perform suffix massaging between a virtual +and a real naming context by means of the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive. +This, in conjunction with proxy backends, +.BR slapd\-ldap (5) +and +.BR slapd\-meta (5), +or with the relay backend, +.BR slapd\-relay (5), +allows one to create virtual views of databases. +A distinguishing feature of this overlay is that, when instantiated +before any database, it can modify the DN of requests +.I before +database selection. +For this reason, rules that rewrite the empty DN ("") +or the subschemaSubentry DN (usually "cn=subschema"), +would prevent clients from reading the root DSE or the DSA's schema. +.TP +.B rwm\-suffixmassage "[<virtual naming context>]" "<real naming context>" +Shortcut to implement naming context rewriting; the trailing part +of the DN is rewritten from the virtual to the real naming context +in the bindDN, searchDN, searchFilterAttrDN, compareDN, compareAttrDN, +addDN, addAttrDN, modifyDN, modifyAttrDN, modrDN, newSuperiorDN, +deleteDN, exopPasswdDN, and from the real to the virtual naming context +in the searchEntryDN, searchAttrDN and matchedDN rewrite contexts. +By default no rewriting occurs for the searchFilter +and for the referralAttrDN and referralDN rewrite contexts. +If no \fI<virtual naming context>\fP is given, the first suffix of the +database is used; this requires the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive be defined \fIafter\fP the database +.B suffix +directive. +The +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive automatically sets the +.B rwm\-rewriteEngine +to +.BR ON . +.LP +See the REWRITING section for details. +.SH REWRITING +A string is rewritten according to a set of rules, called a `rewrite +context'. +The rules are based on POSIX (''extended'') regular expressions with +substring matching; basic variable substitution and map resolution +of substrings is allowed by specific mechanisms detailed in the following. +The behavior of pattern matching/substitution can be altered by a set +of flags. +.LP +.RS +.nf +<rewrite context> ::= <rewrite rule> [...] +<rewrite rule> ::= <pattern> <action> [<flags>] +.fi +.RE +.LP +The underlying concept is to build a lightweight rewrite module +for the slapd server (initially dedicated to the LDAP backend): +.LP +.SH Passes +An incoming string is matched against a set of +.IR rewriteRules . +Rules are made of a +.IR "regex match pattern" , +a +.I "substitution pattern" +and a set of actions, described by a set of +.IR "optional flags" . +In case of match, string rewriting is performed according to the +substitution pattern that allows one to refer to substrings matched in the +incoming string. +The actions, if any, are finally performed. +Each rule is executed recursively, unless altered by specific action +flags; see "Action Flags" for details. +A default limit on the recursion level is set, and can be altered +by the +.B rwm\-rewriteMaxPasses +directive, as detailed in the "Additional Configuration Syntax" section. +The substitution pattern allows map resolution of substrings. +A map is a generic object that maps a substitution pattern to a value. +The flags are divided in "Pattern Matching Flags" and "Action Flags";

this means, in case of error, e.g. issued by a +map, the error is treated as a missed match. +The `unwilling to perform' is not overridden. +.TP +.B `U{n}' +uses +.B +n +as return code if the rule matches; the flag does not alter the recursive +behavior of the rule, so, to have it performed only once, it must be used +in combination with `:', e.g. +.B `:U{32}' +returns the value `32' (indicating noSuchObject) after exactly +one execution of the rule, if the pattern matches. +As a consequence, its behavior is equivalent to `@', with the return +code set to +.BR n ; +or, in other words, `@' is equivalent to `U{0}'. +Positive errors are allowed, indicating the related LDAP error codes +as specified in \fIdraft-ietf-ldapbis-protocol\fP. +.LP +The ordering of the flags can be significant. +For instance: `IG{2}' means ignore errors and jump two lines ahead +both in case of match and in case of error, while `G{2}I' means ignore +errors, but jump two lines ahead only in case of match. +.LP +More flags (mainly Action Flags) will be added as needed. +.SH "Pattern Matching" +See +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +.SH "Substitution Pattern Syntax" +Everything starting with `$' requires substitution;

+no parameter is currently set by either +.B back\-ldap +or +.BR back\-meta , +but constant parameters can be defined in the configuration file +by using the +.B rewriteParam +directive. +.LP +Substitution escaping has been delegated to the `$' symbol, +which is used instead of `\e' in string substitution patterns +because `\e' is already escaped by slapd's low level parsing routines; +as a consequence, regex escaping requires +two `\e' symbols, e.g. `\fB.*\e.foo\e.bar\fP' must +be written as `\fB.*\e\e.foo\e\e.bar\fP'. +.\" +.\" The symbol can be altered at will by redefining the related macro in +.\" "rewrite-int.h". +.\" +.SH "Rewrite Context" +A rewrite context is a set of rules which are applied in sequence. +The basic idea is to have an application initialize a rewrite +engine (think of Apache's mod_rewrite ...) with a set of rewrite +contexts;

The overlay +can be used with any backend that maintains entryCSN and entryUUID +attributes for its entries.

To reduce database contention, the contextCSN is only updated in +memory. The value is written to the database on server shutdown and read into +memory on startup, and maintained in memory thereafter. Checkpoints may be +configured to write the contextCSN into the underlying database to minimize +recovery time after an unclean shutdown. + +On databases that support inequality indexing, it is mandatory to set an +eq index on the entryCSN attribute when using this overlay. +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the Sync Provider overlay. +They should appear after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B syncprov\-checkpoint <ops> <minutes> +After a write operation has succeeded, write the contextCSN to the underlying +database if +.B <ops> +write operations or more than +.B <minutes> +time have passed +since the last checkpoint.

Glue records are always created for a +.B modify +operation. +.TP +.B translucent_local <attr[,attr...]> +Specify a list of attributes that should be searched for in the local database +when used in a search filter.

This directive complements the +.B translucent_local +directive. Attributes may be specified as both local and remote if desired. +.LP +If neither +.B translucent_local +nor +.B translucent_remote +are specified, the default behavior is to search the remote database with the +complete search filter.

If any are found, the request is +rejected. +.LP +The search is performed using the rootdn of the database, to avoid issues +with ACLs preventing the overlay from seeing all of the relevant data.

Scopes of +.B sub +(for subtree) and +.B one +for one-level are valid. + +The +.B filter +component causes the domain to apply uniqueness constraints only to +matching objects. e.g. +.B ldap:///?cn?sub?(sn=e*) +would require unique +.B cn +attributes for all objects in the subtree of the back-end database whose +.B sn +starts with an e. + +It is possible to assert uniqueness upon all non-operational +attributes except those listed by prepending the keyword +.B ignore +If not configured, all non-operational (e.g., system) attributes must be +unique. Note that the +.B attributes +list of an +.B ignore +URI should generally contain the +.BR objectClass , +.BR dc , +.B ou +and +.B o +attributes, as these will generally not be unique, nor are they operational +attributes. + +It is possible to set strict checking for the uniqueness domain by +prepending the keyword +.B strict. +By default, uniqueness is not enforced +for null values. Enabling +.B strict +mode extends the concept of uniqueness to include null values, such +that only one attribute within a subtree will be allowed to have a +null value. Strictness applies to all URIs within a uniqueness +domain, but some domains may be strict while others are not. +.LP +It is not possible to set both URIs and legacy slapo\-unique configuration +parameters simultaneously.
