SLAPD-LDIF(5)
NAME
  slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd

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

SEE ALSO
  slapd.conf(5), slapd(8), ldif(5).
