See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo\-refint \- Referential Integrity overlay to slapd +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The Referential Integrity overlay can be used with a backend database such as +.BR slapd\-bdb (5) +to maintain the cohesiveness of a schema which utilizes reference attributes. +.LP +Integrity is maintained by updating database records which contain the named +attributes to match the results of a +.B modrdn +or +.B delete +operation. For example, if the integrity attribute were configured as +.BR manager , +deletion of the record "uid=robert,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" would trigger a +search for all other records which have a +.B manager +attribute containing that DN. Entries matching that search would have their +.B manager +attribute removed. +Or, renaming the same record into "uid=george,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" +would trigger a search for all other records which have a +.B manager +attribute containing that DN. +Entries matching that search would have their +.B manager +attribute deleted and replaced by the new DN. +.LP +.B rootdn +must be set for the database. refint runs as the rootdn +to gain access to make its updates. +.B rootpw +is not needed. +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the Referential Integrity overlay. +They should appear after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B refint_attributes <attribute> [...] +Specify one or more attributes for which integrity will be maintained +as described above. +.TP +.B refint_nothing <string> +Specify an arbitrary value to be used as a placeholder when the last value +would otherwise be deleted from an attribute. This can be useful in cases +where the schema requires the existence of an attribute for which referential +integrity is enforced. The attempted deletion of a required attribute will +otherwise result in an Object Class Violation, causing the request to fail. +The string must be a valid DN. +.TP +.B refint_modifiersname <DN> +Specify the DN to be used as the modifiersName of the internal modifications +performed by the overlay. +It defaults to "\fIcn=Referential Integrity Overlay\fP". +.LP +Modifications performed by this overlay are not propagated during +replication. This overlay must be configured identically on +replication consumers in order to maintain full synchronization +with the provider. + +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5). +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
