NAME

       slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The LDIF backend to slapd(8) is a basic storage backend that stores entries in text files in LDIF format,
       and exploits the filesystem to create the tree structure of the database.  It is intended as a cheap, low
       performance  easy  to  use  backend, and it is exploited by higher-level internal structures to provide a
       permanent storage.

CONFIGURATION

       These slapd.conf options apply to the LDIF backend database.  That is, they must follow a "database ldif"
       line and come before any subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.  Other database options are  described
       in the slapd.conf(5) manual page.

       directory <dir>
              Specify  the  directory  where  the  database  tree  starts.   The  directory must exist and grant
              appropriate permissions (rwx) to the identity slapd is running with.

ACCESS CONTROL

       The LDIF backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in  slapd.access(5).   Only
       read  (=r) access to the entry pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries returned
       by the search operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.

FILES

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
              default slapd configuration file
