SLAPD-NULL(5)


NAME

  slapd-null - Null backend to slapd


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/internet/openldap/etc/slapd.conf


DESCRIPTION

  The Null backend to slapd(8) is surely the most useful part of slapd:
  - Searches return success but no entries.
  - Compares return compareFalse.
  - Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing.
  - Binds fail unless the database option "bind on" is given.
  Inspired by the /dev/null device.


CONFIGURATION

  This slapd.conf option applies to the NULL backend database.	That is, it
  must follow a "database null" line and come before any subsequent
  "database" lines.  Other database options are described in the
  slapd.conf(5) manual page.

  bind <on/off>
       Allow binds as DNs in this backend's suffix.  The default is "off".


EXAMPLE

  Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null backend:

       database null
       suffix	"cn=Nothing"
       bind	on


FILES

  /usr/internet/openldap/etc/slapd.conf
