This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools +.BR slapadd (8), +.BR slapcat (8), +.BR slapmodify (8), +and +.BR slapindex (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. +.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 +If slapd is compiled with \fI\-\-enable\-slapi\fP, support for plugins +according to \fINetscape's Directory Server Plug-Ins\fP. +Version 4 of the API is currently implemented, with some extensions +from version 5. +.LP +Both global and database specific data may contain plugin information. +Plugins associated with a specific database are called before global +plugins. +This manpage details the +.BR slapd (8) +configuration statements that affect the loading of SLAPI \fIplugins\fP. +.LP +Arguments that should be replaced by actual text are shown in brackets <>. +.LP +The structure of the plugin directives is +.TP +.B plugin "<type> <lib_path> <init_function> [<arguments>]" +Load a plugin of the specified type for the current database. +.LP +The +.BR <type> +can be one of +.BR preoperation , +that is executed before processing the operation for the specified +database, +.BR postoperation , +that is executed after the operation for the specified database +has been processed, +.BR extendedop , +that is used when executing an extended operation, or +.BR object . +The latter is used for miscellaneous types such as ACL, computed +attribute and search filter rewriter plugins. +.LP +The +.BR <libpath> +argument specifies the path to the plugin loadable object; if a relative +path is given, the object is looked for according to the underlying +dynamic loading package (libtool's ltdl is used). +.LP +The +.BR <init_function> +argument specifies what symbol must be called when the plugin is first +loaded. +This function should register the functions provided by the plugin +for the desired operations. It should be noted that it is this +init function, not the plugin type specified as the first argument, +that determines when and for what operations the plugin will be invoked. +The optional +.BR <arguments> +list is passed to the init function. +.TP +.B pluginlog <file> +Specify an alternative path for the plugin log file (default is +LOCALSTATEDIR/errors). +.TP +.B modulepath <pathspec> +This statement sets the module load path for dynamically loadable +backends, as described in +.BR slapd.conf (5); +however, since both the dynamically loadable backends +and the SLAPI plugins use the same underlying library (libtool's ltdl) +its value also affects the plugin search path. +In general the search path is made of colon-separated paths; usually +the user-defined path is searched first; then the value of the +\fILTDL_LIBRARY_PATH\fP environment variable, if defined, is used; +finally, the system-specific dynamic load path is attempted (e.g. on +Linux the value of the environment variable \fILD_LIBRARY_PATH\fP). +Please carefully read the documentation of ltdl because its behavior +is very platform dependent. +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.TP +LOCALSTATEDIR/errors +default plugin log file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd (8), +.LP +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
