SLAPO-REFINT(5)
NAME
  slapo-refint - Referential Integrity overlay

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

DESCRIPTION
  The Referential Integrity overlay can be used with a backend database such
  as slapd-bdb(5) to maintain the cohesiveness of a schema which utilizes
  reference attributes.

  Integrity is maintained by updating database records which contain the
  named attributes to match the results of a modrdn or delete operation. For
  example, if the integrity attribute were configured as manager, deletion of
  the record "uid=robert,ou=people,o=openldap.org" would trigger a search for
  all other records which have a manager attribute containing that DN.
  Entries matching that search would have their manager attribute removed.

CONFIGURATION
  These slapd.conf options apply to the Referential Integrity overlay.	They
  should appear after the overlay directive.

  refint_attributes <attribute...>
       Specify one or more attributes for which integrity will be maintained
       as described above.

  refint_nothing <string>
       Specify an arbitrary value to be used as a placeholder when the last
       value would otherwise be deleted from an attribute. This can be useful
       in cases where the schema requires the existence of an attribute for
       which referential integrity is enforced. The attempted deletion of a
       required attribute will otherwise result in an Object Class Violation,
       causing the request to fail.

FILES
  /usr/internet/openldap/etc/slapd.conf
       default slapd configuration file
