+.SH NAME
+slapo-emptyds \- Remove Empty values from Directory String attributes
+Overlay to slapd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+ETCDIR/slapd.conf
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Some non-conformant clients will provide empty values for Directory String
+attributes with certain operations. This overlay makes empty values acceptable
+for the Directory String syntax and will adjust all operations to make sure
+these values are never actually stored in the database.
