.SH NAME
slapo\-retcode \- return code overlay to slapd
.SH SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B retcode
overlay to
.BR slapd (8)
is useful to test the behavior of clients when server-generated erroneous
and/or unusual responses occur, e.g. error codes, referrals,
excessive response times and so on.
The error responses are generated according to different strategies.
.LP
In the first case, all operations targeted at a specific configurable
subtree cause the object related to the request DN to be looked up
and checked for return code data: a response code, plus an optional
textual message, an optional configurable delay, an optional matched DN
field, and, when the response code is "referral", a (list of) referral(s).
.LP
Well-known response codes from standard track documents are provided
in \fBretcode.conf\fP, which can be included after instantiating
the overlay.
.LP
In the second case, objects of classes inherited from
the \fBerrAbsObject\fP, like \fBerrObject\fP or \fBerrAuxObject\fP,
when returned as intermediate responses of a search request, are changed
into the response dictated by their content.
.LP
A third mode causes objects to be looked up from the underlying database
to discover if their class inherits from \fBerrABsObject\fP;
in that case, their content is used to compute the corresponding response.
.LP
The behavior is disabled by using the \fBmanageDSAit\fP control (RFC 3296);
in that case, the resulting object, either present in the directory
or dynamically generated by the overlay, or contained in the request,
is handled as usual.
.LP
The config directives that are specific to the
.B retcode
overlay must be prefixed by
.BR retcode\- ,
to avoid conflicts with directives specific to the underlying database
or to other stacked overlays. 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;
it can be in any format supported by
.BR strtol (3).
The optional \fBoplist\fP is a list of operations that cause
response code generation; if absent, all operations are affected.
The \fBmatched\fP field is the matched DN that is returned
along with the error, while the \fBtext\fP field is an optional
diagnostics message.
The \fBref\fP field is only allowed for the \fBreferral\fP
response code.
The \fBsleeptime\fP field causes
.BR slapd (8)
to sleep the specified number of seconds before proceeding
with the operation.
The \fBunsolicited\fP field can be used to cause the return
of an RFC 4511 unsolicited response message; if \fBOID\fP
is not "0", an extended response is generated, with the optional
\fBdata\fP appended.
If \fBflags\fP contains \fBdisconnect\fP, or \fBpre\-disconnect\fP,
.BR slapd (8)
disconnects abruptly, without notice; \fBpost\-disconnect\fP
causes disconnection right after sending response as appropriate.
.RE
.TP
.B retcode\-indir
Enables exploitation of in-directory stored errAbsObject.
May result in a lot of unnecessary overhead.
.TP
.B retcode\-sleep [\-]<n>
Defines a sleep time in seconds that is spent before actually handling
any operation.
If negative, a random time between 0 and the absolute value of the argument
is used.
.SH SCHEMA
The
.B retcode
overlay utilizes the "return code" schema described herein.
This schema is specifically designed for use with this
overlay and is not intended to be used otherwise.
It is also noted that the schema described here is
.I a work in
.IR progress ,
and hence subject to change without notice.
The schema is loaded automatically by the overlay.
The schema includes a number of object classes and associated
attribute types as described below.
