SLAPD-LDIF(5) File Formats Manual SLAPD-LDIF(5) NAME slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd SYNOPSIS /usr/local/etc/openldap/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 struc- tures 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 de- scribed in slapd.access(5). Only read (=r) access to the entry pseudo-at- tribute and to the other attribute values of the entries returned by the search operation is honored, which is performed by the frontend.
