SLAPD.PLUGIN(5) File Formats Manual SLAPD.PLUGIN(5)
slapd.plugin - plugin configuration for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP
daemon
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
The slapd.conf(5) file contains configuration information for the
slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD
tools slapadd(8), slapcat(8), and slapindex(8).
The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration
options that apply to slapd as a whole (including all backends),
followed by zero or more database backend definitions that contain
information specific to a backend instance.
The general format of slapd.conf is as follows:
# comment - these options apply to every database
<global configuration options>
# first database definition & configuration options
database <backend 1 type>
<configuration options specific to backend 1>
# subsequent database definitions & configuration options
...
If slapd is compiled with --enable-slapi, support for plugins
according to Netscape's Directory Server Plug-Ins. Version 4 of the
API is currently implemented, with some extensions from version 5.
Both global and database specific data may contain plugin
information. Plugins associated with a specific database are called
before global plugins. This manpage details the slapd(8)
configuration statements that affect the loading of SLAPI plugins.
Arguments that should be replaced by actual text are shown in
brackets <>.
The structure of the plugin directives is
plugin <type> <lib_path> <init_function> [<arguments>]
Load a plugin of the specified type for the current database.
The <type> can be one of preoperation, that is executed before
processing the operation for the specified database, postoperation,
that is executed after the operation for the specified database has
been processed, extendedop, that is used when executing an extended
operation, or object. The latter is used for miscellaneous types
such as ACL, computed attribute and search filter rewriter plugins.
The <libpath> argument specifies the path to the plugin loadable
object; if a relative path is given, the object is looked for
according to the underlying dynamic loading package (libtool's ltdl
is used).
The <init_function> argument specifies what symbol must be called
when the plugin is first loaded. This function should register the
functions provided by the plugin for the desired operations. It
should be noted that it is this init function, not the plugin type
specified as the first argument, that determines when and for what
operations the plugin will be invoked. The optional <arguments> list
is passed to the init function.
pluginlog <file>
Specify an alternative path for the plugin log file (default
is LOCALSTATEDIR/errors).
modulepath <pathspec>
This statement sets the module load path for dynamically
loadable backends, as described in slapd.conf(5); however,
since both the dynamically loadable backends and the SLAPI
plugins use the same underlying library (libtool's ltdl) its
value also affects the plugin search path. In general the
search path is made of colon-separated paths; usually the
user-defined path is searched first; then the value of the
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, if defined, is used;
finally, the system-specific dynamic load path is attempted
(e.g. on Linux the value of the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Please carefully read the documentation of
ltdl because its behavior is very platform dependent.
