NAME
slapd.conf - configuration file for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/ldap/slapd.conf contains configuration information for the slapd(8) daemon.
This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD tools slapacl(8), slapadd(8),
slapauth(8), slapcat(8), slapdn(8), slapindex(8), and slaptest(8).
The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration options that apply to
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.
The general format of slapd.conf is as follows:
# 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
...
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 slapd.conf file is used).
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.
Blank lines and comment lines beginning with a `#' character are ignored. Note:
continuation lines are unwrapped before comment processing is applied.
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.
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 slapd-<backend>(5) manual pages. Refer to the
"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more details on the slapd configuration file.
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 <>.
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 slapd.access(5) and the
"OpenLDAP's Administrator's Guide" for details.
allow <features>
Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to allow (default none).
bind_v2 allows acceptance of LDAPv2 bind requests. Note that slapd(8) does not
truly implement LDAPv2 (RFC 1777), now Historic (RFC 3494). bind_anon_cred allows
anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g. when DN is empty).
bind_anon_dn allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty.
update_anon allows unauthenticated (anonymous) update operations to be processed
(subject to access controls and other administrative limits). proxy_authz_anon
allows unauthenticated (anonymous) proxy authorization control to be processed
(subject to access controls, authorization and other administrative limits).
argsfile <filename>
The (absolute) name of a file that will hold the slapd server's command line
(program name and options).
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 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.
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>] )
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
objectidentifier description.)
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 authz-regexp
(see below). The prefix authid- is followed by a set of rules analogous to those
described in slapo-rwm(5) for data rewriting (replace the rwm- prefix with
authid-). authid-rewrite<cmd> and authz-regexp rules should not be intermixed.
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 none
flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting. The from flag will
use rules in the authzFrom attribute of the authorization DN. The to flag will use
rules in the authzTo attribute of the authentication DN. The any flag, an alias
for the deprecated value of both, will allow any of the above, whatever succeeds
first (checked in to, from sequence. The all flag requires both authorizations to
succeed.
The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed to perform proxy
authorization. The authzFrom attribute in an entry specifies which other users are
allowed to proxy login to this entry. The authzTo attribute in an entry specifies
which other users this user can authorize as. Use of authzTo rules can be easily
abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute. In
general the authzTo attribute must be protected with ACLs such that only privileged
users can modify it. The value of authzFrom and authzTo describes an identity or a
set of identities; it can take five forms:
ldap:///<base>??[<scope>]?<filter>
dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern>
u[.<mech>[/<realm>]]:<pattern>
group[/objectClass[/attributeType]]:<pattern>
<pattern>
<dnstyle>:={exact|onelevel|children|subtree|regex}
The first form is a valid LDAP URI where the <host>:<port>, the <attrs> and the
<extensions> portions must be absent, so that the search occurs locally on either
authzFrom or authzTo. The second form is a DN, with the optional style modifiers
exact, onelevel, children, and subtree for exact, onelevel, children and subtree
matches, which cause <pattern> to be normalized according to the DN normalization
rules, or the special regex style, which causes the <pattern> to be treated as a
POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, as discussed in regex(7) and/or
re_format(7). A pattern of * means any non-anonymous DN. The third form is a SASL
id, with the optional fields <mech> and <realm> that allow to specify a SASL
mechanism, and eventually a SASL 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 group, optionally followed by the
specification of the group objectClass and member attributeType. The group with DN
<pattern> is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the values of the
member attributeType are searched for the asserted DN. For backwards
compatibility, if no identity type is provided, i.e. only <pattern> is present, an
exact DN is assumed; as a consequence, <pattern> is subjected to DN normalization.
Since the interpretation of authzFrom and 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 authz-regexp
statement (see below); significantly, the URI, provided it results in exactly one
entry, and the dn.exact:<dn> forms.
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 USERNAME, REALM, and MECHANISM are
taken, when available, and combined into a name of the form
UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth
This name is then compared against the match POSIX (''extended'') regular
expression, and if the match is successful, the name is replaced with the replace
string. If there are wildcard strings in the match regular expression that are
enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.
UID=([^,]*),CN=.*
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 replace string, e.g.
UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com
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.
ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1)
The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly ldap. Note that this search is
subject to access controls. Specifically, the authentication identity must have
"auth" access in the subject.
Multiple 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.
concurrency <integer>
Specify a desired level of concurrency. Provided to the underlying thread system
as a hint. The default is not to provide any hint.
conn_max_pending <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.
conn_max_pending_auth <integer>
Specify the maximum number of pending requests for an authenticated session. The
default is 1000.
defaultsearchbase <dn>
Specify a default search base to use when client submits a non-base search request
with an empty base DN. Base scoped search requests with an empty base DN are not
affected.
disallow <features>
Specify a set of features (separated by white space) to disallow (default none).
bind_anon disables acceptance of anonymous bind requests. Note that this setting
does not prohibit anonymous directory access (See "require authc"). bind_simple
disables simple (bind) authentication. tls_2_anon disables forcing session to
anonymous status (see also tls_authc) upon StartTLS operation receipt. tls_authc
disallows the StartTLS operation if authenticated (see also tls_2_anon).
proxy_authz_non_critical disables acceptance of the proxied authorization control
(RFC4370) when criticality is FALSE. dontusecopy_non_critical disables acceptance
of the dontUseCopy control (a work in progress) when criticality is FALSE.
ditcontentrule ( <oid> [NAME <name>] [DESC <description>] [OBSOLETE] [AUX <oids>]
[MUST <oids>] [MAY <oids>] [NOT <oids>] )
Specify an DIT Content Rule 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
objectidentifier description.)
gentlehup { on | off }
A SIGHUP signal will only cause a 'gentle' shutdown-attempt: 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 slapd server with another database, without
disrupting the currently active clients. The default is off. You may wish to use
idletimeout along with this option.
idletimeout <integer>
Specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly closing an idle client
connection. A idletimeout of 0 disables this feature. The default is 0. You may
also want to set the writetimeout option.
include <filename>
Read additional configuration information from the given file before continuing
with the next line of the current file.
index_intlen <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.
index_substr_if_minlen <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.
index_substr_if_maxlen <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.
index_substr_any_len <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 index_substr_if_maxlen value.
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".
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 slapindex(8).
ldapsyntax ( <oid> [DESC <description>] [X-SUBST <substitute-syntax>] )
Specify an LDAP syntax 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 syntax OID. (See the objectidentifier description.) The
slapd parser also honors the X-SUBST extension (an OpenLDAP-specific extension),
which allows to use the ldapsyntax statement to define a non-implemented syntax
along with another syntax, the extension value substitute-syntax, as its temporary
replacement. The substitute-syntax must be defined. This allows to define
attribute types that make use of non-implemented syntaxes using the correct syntax
OID. Unless X-SUBST is used, this configuration statement would result in an
error, since no handlers would be associated to the resulting syntax structure.
listener-threads <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.
localSSF <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 sasl-
secprops's minssf option description. The default is 71.
logfile <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.
loglevel <integer> [...]
Specify the level at which debugging statements and operation statistics should be
syslogged (currently logged to the 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:
1 (0x1 trace) trace function calls
2 (0x2 packets) debug packet handling
4 (0x4 args) heavy trace debugging (function args)
8 (0x8 conns) connection management
16 (0x10 BER) print out packets sent and received
32 (0x20 filter) search filter processing
64 (0x40 config) configuration file processing
128 (0x80 ACL) access control list processing
256 (0x100 stats) connections, LDAP operations, results (recommended)
512 (0x200 stats2) stats log entries sent
1024 (0x400 shell) print communication with shell backends
2048 (0x800 parse) entry parsing
16384 (0x4000 sync) LDAPSync replication
32768 (0x8000 none) only messages that get logged whatever log level is set
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
brackets, such that
loglevel 129
loglevel 0x81
loglevel 128 1
loglevel 0x80 0x1
loglevel acl trace
are equivalent. The keyword any can be used as a shortcut to enable logging at all
levels (equivalent to -1). The keyword none, or the equivalent integer
representation, causes those messages that are logged regardless of the configured
loglevel to be logged. In fact, if loglevel is set to 0, no logging occurs, so at
least the none level is required to have high priority messages logged.
The loglevel defaults to stats. This level should usually also be included when
using other loglevels, to help analyze the logs.
moduleload <filename>
Specify the name of a dynamically loadable module to load. The filename may be an
absolute path name or a simple filename. Non-absolute names are searched for in the
directories specified by the modulepath option. This option and the modulepath
option are only usable if slapd was compiled with --enable-modules.
modulepath <pathspec>
Specify a list of directories to search for loadable modules. Typically the path is
colon-separated but this depends on the operating system. The default is
/usr/lib/ldap, which is where the standard OpenLDAP install will place its modules.
objectclass ( <oid> [NAME <name>] [DESC <description>] [OBSOLETE] [SUP <oids>] [{ ABSTRACT
| STRUCTURAL | AUXILIARY }] [MUST <oids>] [MAY <oids>] )
Specify an objectclass 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 object class OID. (See the objectidentifier description.)
Object classes are "STRUCTURAL" by default.
objectidentifier <name> { <oid> | <name>[:<suffix>] }
Define a string name that equates to the given OID. The string can be used in place
of the numeric OID in objectclass and attribute definitions. The name can also be
used with a suffix of the form ":xx" in which case the value "oid.xx" will be used.
password-hash <hash> [<hash>...]
This option configures one or more hashes to be used in generation of user
passwords stored in the userPassword attribute during processing of LDAP Password
Modify Extended Operations (RFC 3062). The <hash> must be one of {SSHA}, {SHA},
{SMD5}, {MD5}, {CRYPT}, and {CLEARTEXT}. The default is {SSHA}.
{SHA} and {SSHA} use the SHA-1 algorithm (FIPS 160-1), the latter with a seed.
{MD5} and {SMD5} use the MD5 algorithm (RFC 1321), the latter with a seed.
{CRYPT} uses the crypt(3).
{CLEARTEXT} indicates that the new password should be added to userPassword as
clear text.
Note that this option does not alter the normal user applications handling of
userPassword during LDAP Add, Modify, or other LDAP operations.
password-crypt-salt-format <format>
Specify the format of the salt passed to crypt(3) when generating {CRYPT} passwords
(see password-hash) during processing of LDAP Password Modify Extended Operations
(RFC 3062).
This string needs to be in 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.
pidfile <filename>
The (absolute) name of a file that will hold the slapd server's process ID (see
getpid(2)).
referral <url>
Specify the referral to pass back when slapd(8) cannot find a local database to
handle a request. If specified multiple times, each url is provided.
require <conditions>
Specify a set of conditions (separated by white space) to require (default none).
The directive may be specified globally and/or per-database; databases inherit
global conditions, so per-database specifications are additive. bind requires bind
operation prior to directory operations. LDAPv3 requires session to be using LDAP
version 3. authc requires authentication prior to directory operations. SASL
requires SASL authentication prior to directory operations. strong requires strong
authentication prior to directory operations. The strong keyword allows protected
"simple" authentication as well as SASL authentication. none may be used to
require no conditions (useful to clear out globally set conditions within a
particular database); it must occur first in the list of conditions.
reverse-lookup on | off
Enable/disable client name unverified reverse lookup (default is off if compiled
with --enable-rlookups).
rootDSE <file>
Specify the name of an LDIF(5) file containing user defined attributes for the root
DSE. These attributes are returned in addition to the attributes normally produced
by slapd.
The root DSE is an entry with information about the server and its capabilities, in
operational attributes. It has the empty DN, and can be read with e.g.:
ldapsearch -x -b "" -s base "+"
See RFC 4512 section 5.1 for details.
sasl-auxprops <plugin> [...]
Specify which auxprop plugins to use for authentication lookups. The default is
empty, which just uses slapd's internal support. Usually no other auxprop plugins
are needed.
sasl-host <fqdn>
Used to specify the fully qualified domain name used for SASL processing.
sasl-realm <realm>
Specify SASL realm. Default is empty.
sasl-secprops <properties>
Used to specify Cyrus SASL security properties. The none flag (without any other
properties) causes the flag properties default, "noanonymous,noplain", to be
cleared. The noplain flag disables mechanisms susceptible to simple passive
attacks. The noactive flag disables mechanisms susceptible to active attacks. The
nodict flag disables mechanisms susceptible to passive dictionary attacks. The
noanonymous flag disables mechanisms which support anonymous login. The forwardsec
flag require forward secrecy between sessions. The passcred require mechanisms
which pass client credentials (and allow mechanisms which can pass credentials to
do so). The minssf=<factor> property specifies the minimum acceptable 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 maxssf=<factor> property specifies the maximum acceptable security strength
factor as an integer (see minssf description). The default is INT_MAX. The
maxbufsize=<size> property specifies the maximum security layer receive buffer size
allowed. 0 disables security layers. The default is 65536.
schemadn <dn>
Specify the distinguished name for the subschema subentry that controls the entries
on this server. The default is "cn=Subschema".
security <factors>
Specify a set of security strength factors (separated by white space) to require
(see sasl-secprops's minssf option for a description of security strength factors).
The directive may be specified globally and/or per-database. ssf=<n> specifies the
overall security strength factor. transport=<n> specifies the transport security
strength factor. tls=<n> specifies the TLS security strength factor. sasl=<n>
specifies the SASL security strength factor. update_ssf=<n> specifies the overall
security strength factor to require for directory updates. update_transport=<n>
specifies the transport security strength factor to require for directory updates.
update_tls=<n> specifies the TLS security strength factor to require for directory
updates. update_sasl=<n> specifies the SASL security strength factor to require
for directory updates. simple_bind=<n> specifies the security strength factor
required for simple username/password authentication. Note that the transport
factor is measure of security provided by the underlying transport, e.g. ldapi://
(and eventually IPSEC). It is not normally used.
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". These IDs are required when using multimaster replication and each
master must have a unique ID. Note that this requirement also applies to separate
masters 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 default value is zero. Example:
serverID 1
sizelimit {<integer>|unlimited}
sizelimit size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer> [...]
Specify the maximum number of entries to return from a search operation. The
default size limit is 500. Use unlimited to specify no limits. The second format
allows a fine grain setting of the size limits. Extra args can be added on the
same line. See limits for an explanation of the different flags.
sockbuf_max_incoming <integer>
Specify the maximum incoming LDAP PDU size for anonymous sessions. The default is
262143.
sockbuf_max_incoming_auth <integer>
Specify the maximum incoming LDAP PDU size for authenticated sessions. The default
is 4194303.
sortvals <attr> [...]
Specify a list of multi-valued attributes whose values will always be maintained in
sorted order. 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.
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 tcp(7) for
details. Note that some OS-es implement automatic TCP buffer tuning.
threads <integer>
Specify the maximum size of the primary thread pool. The default is 16; the
minimum value is 2.
timelimit {<integer>|unlimited}
timelimit time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer> [...]
Specify the maximum number of seconds (in real time) slapd will spend answering a
search request. The default time limit is 3600. Use unlimited to specify no
limits. The second format allows a fine grain setting of the time limits. Extra
args can be added on the same line. See limits for an explanation of the different
flags.
tool-threads <integer>
Specify the maximum number of threads to use in tool mode. This should not be
greater than the number of CPUs in the system. The default is 1.
writetimeout <integer>
Specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly closing a connection with an
outstanding write. This allows recovery from various network hang conditions. A
writetimeout of 0 disables this feature. The default is 0.
TLS OPTIONS
If slapd is built with support for Transport Layer Security, there are more options you
can specify.
TLSCipherSuite <cipher-suite-spec>
Permits configuring what ciphers will be accepted and the preference order.
<cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher specification for the TLS library in use
(OpenSSL, GnuTLS, or Mozilla NSS). Example:
OpenSSL:
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2
GnuTLS:
TLSCiphersuite SECURE256:!AES-128-CBC
To check what ciphers a given spec selects in OpenSSL, use:
openssl ciphers -v <cipher-suite-spec>
With GnuTLS the available specs can be found in the manual page of gnutls-cli(1)
(see the description of the option --priority).
In older versions of GnuTLS, where gnutls-cli does not support the option
--priority, you can obtain the — more limited — list of ciphers by calling:
gnutls-cli -l
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
static const SSLCipherSuiteInfo suiteInfo[]
TLSCACertificateFile <filename>
Specifies the file that contains certificates for all of the Certificate
Authorities that 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.
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.
TLSCertificateFile <filename>
Specifies the file that contains the 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:
TLSCertificateFile Server-Cert
If using a token other than the internal built in token, specify the token name
first, followed by a colon:
TLSCertificateFile my hardware device:Server-Cert
Use certutil -L to list the certificates by name:
certutil -d /path/to/certdbdir -L
TLSCertificateKeyFile <filename>
Specifies the file that contains the slapd server private key that matches the
certificate stored in the 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:
modutil -dbdir /etc/openldap/certdb -changepw 'NSS Certificate DB'
You must have the old password, if any. Ignore the WARNING about the running
browser. Press 'Enter' for the new password.
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. If multiple sets of parameters are present in the file, all of them will be
processed. Note that setting this option may also enable Anonymous Diffie-Hellman
key exchanges in certain non-default cipher suites. You should append "!ADH" to
your cipher suites if you have changed them from the default, otherwise no
certificate exchanges or verification will be done. When using GnuTLS these
parameters are always generated randomly so this directive is ignored. This
directive is ignored when using Mozilla NSS.
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.
TLSVerifyClient <level>
Specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an incoming TLS session,
if any. The <level> can be specified as one of the following keywords:
never This is the default. slapd will not ask the client for a certificate.
allow The client 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.
try The client certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided, the
session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided, the session is
immediately terminated.
demand | hard | true
These keywords are all equivalent, for compatibility reasons. The client
certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided, or a bad
certificate is provided, the session is immediately terminated.
Note that a valid client certificate is required in order to use the SASL
EXTERNAL authentication mechanism with a TLS session. As such, a non-
default TLSVerifyClient setting must be chosen to enable SASL EXTERNAL
authentication.
TLSCRLCheck <level>
Specifies if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) of the CA should be used to
verify if the client certificates have not been revoked. This requires
TLSCACertificatePath parameter to be set. This directive is ignored with GnuTLS and
Mozilla NSS. <level> can be specified as one of the following keywords:
none No CRL checks are performed
peer Check the CRL of the peer certificate
all Check the CRL for a whole certificate chain
TLSCRLFile <filename>
Specifies a file containing a Certificate Revocation List to be used for verifying
that certificates have not been revoked. This directive is only valid when using
GnuTLS and Mozilla NSS.
GENERAL BACKEND OPTIONS
Options in this section only apply to the configuration file section for the specified
backend. They are supported by every type of backend.
backend <databasetype>
Mark the beginning of a backend definition. <databasetype> should be one of bdb,
config, dnssrv, hdb, ldap, ldif, meta, monitor, null, passwd, perl, relay, shell,
or sql, depending on which backend will serve the database.
GENERAL DATABASE OPTIONS
Options in this section only apply to the configuration file section for the database in
which they are defined. They are supported by every type of backend. Note that the
database and at least one suffix option are mandatory for each database.
database <databasetype>
Mark the beginning of a new database instance definition. <databasetype> should be
one of bdb, config, dnssrv, hdb, ldap, ldif, meta, monitor, null, passwd, perl,
relay, shell, or 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 subordinate keyword. Access
controls and some overlays can also involve multiple databases.
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 slapd.access(5) manual page for
more details on ACL requirements for Add operations.
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. <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.
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.
lastmod on | off
Controls whether 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.
limits <selector> <limit> [<limit> [...]]
Specify time and size limits based on the operation's initiator or base DN. The
argument <selector> can be any of
anonymous | users | [<dnspec>=]<pattern> | group[/oc[/at]]=<pattern>
with
<dnspec> ::= dn[.<type>][.<style>]
<type> ::= self | this
<style> ::= exact | base | onelevel | subtree | children | regex | anonymous
DN type self is the default and means the bound user, while this means the base DN
of the operation. The term anonymous matches all unauthenticated clients. The
term users matches all authenticated clients; otherwise an exact dn pattern is
assumed unless otherwise specified by qualifying the (optional) key string dn with
exact or base (which are synonyms), to require an exact match; with onelevel, to
require exactly one level of depth match; with subtree, to allow any level of depth
match, including the exact match; with children, to allow any level of depth match,
not including the exact match; regex explicitly requires the (default) match based
on POSIX (''extended'') regular expression pattern. Finally, anonymous matches
unbound operations; the pattern field is ignored. The same behavior is obtained by
using the anonymous form of the <selector> clause. The term group, with the
optional objectClass oc and attributeType at fields, followed by pattern, sets the
limits for any DN listed in the values of the at attribute (default member) of the
oc group objectClass (default groupOfNames) whose DN exactly matches pattern.
The currently supported limits are size and time.
The syntax for time limits is time[.{soft|hard}]=<integer>, where integer is the
number of seconds slapd will spend answering a search request. If no time limit is
explicitly requested by the client, the soft limit is used; if the requested time
limit exceeds the hard limit, the value of the limit is used instead. If the hard
limit is set to the keyword soft, the soft limit is used in either case; if it is
set to the keyword unlimited, no hard limit is enforced. Explicit requests for
time limits smaller or equal to the hard limit are honored. If no limit specifier
is set, the value is assigned to the soft limit, and the hard limit is set to soft,
to preserve the original behavior.
The syntax for size limits is size[.{soft|hard|unchecked}]=<integer>, where 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 soft limit is used; if the
requested size limit exceeds the hard limit, the value of the limit is used
instead. If the hard limit is set to the keyword soft, the soft limit is used in
either case; if it is set to the keyword unlimited, no hard limit is enforced.
Explicit requests for size limits smaller or equal to the hard limit are honored.
The 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 slapd(8) to determine whether they match the search filter or not. The
unchecked limit provides a means to drop such operations before they are even
started. If the selected candidates exceed the unchecked limit, the search will
abort with Unwilling to perform. If it is set to the keyword unlimited, no limit
is applied (the default). If it is set to 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 soft limit, and the hard
limit is set to soft, to preserve the original behavior.
In case of no match, the global limits are used. The default values are the same
as for sizelimit and timelimit; no limit is set on unchecked.
If pagedResults control is requested, the 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
size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited}, where integer is the max page size if no
explicit limit is set; the keyword 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 unlimited indicates that
no limit is applied to the pagedResults control page size. The syntax
size.prtotal={<integer>|unlimited|disabled} allows to set a limit on the total
number of entries that a pagedResults control allows to return. By default it is
set to the hard limit. When set, integer is the max number of entries that the
whole search with pagedResults control can return. Use 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 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 hard size limit of regular searches unless extended by
the prtotal switch.
The limits 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 syncrepl for details).
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.
mirrormode on | off
This option puts a replica 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 serverID (see above) to be configured. By default, mirrormode is off.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 add, bind, compare, delete,
extended[=<OID>], modify, rename, search, or the special pseudo-operations read and
write, which respectively summarize read and write operations. The use of restrict
write is equivalent to readonly on (see above). The extended keyword allows to
indicate the OID of the specific operation to be restricted.
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 rootpw directive. Many optional features, including syncrepl,
require the rootdn to be defined for the database.
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
password-hash description) as well as cleartext. slappasswd(8) may be used to
generate a hash of a password. Cleartext and {CRYPT} 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.
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 subordinate keyword.
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 advertise 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 slapcat(8), slapadd(8), or 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 glue
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 overlay glue directive at the desired position. This explicit
configuration is necessary e.g. when using the syncprov overlay, which needs to
follow glue in order to work over all of the glued databases. E.g.
database bdb
suffix dc=example,dc=com
...
overlay glue
overlay syncprov
sync_use_subentry
Store the syncrepl contextCSN in a subentry instead of the context entry of the
database. The subentry's RDN will be "cn=ldapsync". By default the contextCSN is
stored in the context entry.
syncrepl rid=<replica ID> provider=ldap[s]://<hostname>[:port] searchbase=<base DN>

[tls_crlcheck=none|peer|all] [suffixmassage=<real DN>] [logbase=<base DN>]
[logfilter=<filter str>] [syncdata=default|accesslog|changelog]
Specify the current database as a replica which is kept up-to-date with the master
content by establishing the current slapd(8) as a replication consumer site running
a syncrepl replication engine. The replica content is kept synchronized to the
master content using the LDAP Content Synchronization protocol. Refer to the
"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for detailed information on setting up a
replicated slapd directory service using the syncrepl replication engine.
rid identifies the current syncrepl directive within the replication consumer site.
It is a non-negative integer not greater than 999 (limited to three decimal
digits).
provider specifies the replication provider site containing the master content as
an LDAP URI. If <port> is not given, the standard LDAP port number (389 or 636) is
used.
The content of the syncrepl replica is defined using a search specification as its
result set. The consumer slapd will send search requests to the provider slapd
according to the search specification. The search specification includes
searchbase, scope, filter, attrs, attrsonly, sizelimit, and timelimit parameters as
in the normal search specification. The scope defaults to sub, the filter defaults
to (objectclass=*), while there is no default searchbase. The attrs list defaults
to "*,+" to return all user and operational attributes, and attrsonly is unset by
default. The sizelimit and timelimit only accept "unlimited" and positive
integers, and both default to "unlimited". The sizelimit and timelimit 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.
The LDAP Content Synchronization protocol has two operation types. In the
refreshOnly operation, the next synchronization search operation is periodically
rescheduled at an interval time (specified by interval parameter; 1 day by default)
after each synchronization operation finishes. In the refreshAndPersist operation,
a synchronization search remains persistent in the provider slapd. Further updates
to the master replica will generate searchResultEntry to the consumer slapd as the
search responses to the persistent synchronization search.
If an error occurs during replication, the consumer will attempt to reconnect
according to the 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 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 schemachecking parameter. The default is off. Schema checking on 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 off when partial replication is used.
The network-timeout parameter sets how long the consumer will wait to establish a
network connection to the provider. Once a connection is established, the timeout
parameter determines how long the consumer will wait for the initial Bind request
to complete. The defaults for these parameters come from ldap.conf(5).
A bindmethod of simple requires the options binddn and credentials and should only
be used when adequate security services (e.g. TLS or IPSEC) are in place.
REMEMBER: simple bind credentials must be in cleartext! A bindmethod of sasl
requires the option saslmech. Depending on the mechanism, an authentication
identity and/or credentials can be specified using authcid and credentials. The
authzid parameter may be used to specify an authorization identity. Specific
security properties (as with the sasl-secprops keyword above) for a SASL bind can
be set with the secprops option. A non default SASL realm can be set with the 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
(access directive), and appropriate time and size limits. This can be accomplished
by either allowing unlimited sizelimit and timelimit, or by setting an appropriate
limits statement in the consumer's configuration (see sizelimit and limits for
details).
The keepalive parameter sets the values of idle, probes, and interval used to check
whether a socket is alive; idle is the number of seconds a connection needs to
remain idle before TCP starts sending keepalive probes; probes is the maximum
number of keepalive probes TCP should send before dropping the connection; interval
is interval in seconds between individual keepalive probes. Only some systems
support the customization of these values; the keepalive parameter is ignored
otherwise, and system-wide settings are used.
The starttls parameter specifies use of the StartTLS extended operation to
establish a TLS session before Binding to the provider. If the critical argument is
supplied, the session will be aborted if the StartTLS request fails. Otherwise the
syncrepl session continues without TLS. The tls_reqcert setting defaults to
"demand" and the other TLS settings default to the same as the main slapd TLS
settings.
The 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 searchbase 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 delta syncrepl. In addition
to the above parameters, the logbase and logfilter parameters must be set
appropriately for the log that will be used. The syncdata parameter must be set to
either "accesslog" if the log conforms to the slapo-accesslog(5) log format, or
"changelog" if the log conforms to the obsolete changelog format. If the syncdata
parameter is omitted or set to "default" then the log parameters are ignored.
updatedn <dn>
This option is only applicable in a slave 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 should not be the same as the
rootdn used at the master.
updateref <url>
Specify the referral to pass back when slapd(8) is asked to modify a replicated
local database. If specified multiple times, each url is provided.
DATABASE-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
Each database may allow specific configuration options; they are documented separately in
the backends' manual pages. See the slapd.backends(5) manual page for an overview of
available backends.
