NAME         top

       slapd.overlays - overlays for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon

DESCRIPTION         top

       The slapd(8) daemon can use a variety of different overlays to alter
       or extend the normal behavior of a database backend.  Overlays may be
       compiled statically into slapd, or when module support is enabled,
       they may be dynamically loaded. Most of the overlays are only allowed
       to be configured on individual databases, but some may also be
       configured globally.
       Configuration options for each overlay are documented separately in
       the corresponding slapo-<overlay>(5) manual pages.
       accesslog
              Access Logging.  This overlay can record accesses to a given
              backend database on another database.
       auditlog
              Audit Logging.  This overlay records changes on a given
              backend database to an LDIF log file.  By default it is not
              built.
       chain  Chaining.  This overlay allows automatic referral chasing when
              a referral would have been returned, either when configured by
              the server or when requested by the client.
       collect
              Collective Attributes.  This overlay implements RFC 3671
              collective attributes; these attributes share common values
              over all the members of the collection as inherited from an
              ancestor entry.
       constraint
              Constraint.  This overlay enforces a regular expression
              constraint on all values of specified attributes. It is used
              to enforce a more rigorous syntax when the underlying
              attribute syntax is too general.
       dds    Dynamic Directory Services.  This overlay supports dynamic
              objects, which have a limited life after which they expire and
              are automatically deleted.
       dyngroup
              Dynamic Group.  This is a demo overlay which extends the
              Compare operation to detect members of a dynamic group.  It
              has no effect on any other operations.
       dynlist
              Dynamic List.  This overlay allows expansion of dynamic groups
              and more.
       memberof
              MemberOf.  This overlay maintains automatic reverse group
              membership values, typically stored in an attribute called
              memberOf.
       pbind  Proxybind.  This overlay forwards simple bind requests on a
              local database to a remote LDAP server.
       pcache Proxycache.  This overlay allows caching of LDAP search
              requests in a local database.  It is most often used with the
              slapd-ldap(5) or slapd-meta(5) backends.
       ppolicy
              Password Policy.  This overlay provides a variety of password
              control mechanisms, e.g. password aging, password reuse and
              duplication control, mandatory password resets, etc.
       refint Referential Integrity.  This overlay can be used with a
              backend database such as slapd-bdb(5) to maintain the
              cohesiveness of a schema which utilizes reference attributes.
       retcode
              Return Code.  This overlay is useful to test the behavior of
              clients when server-generated erroneous and/or unusual
              responses occur.
       rwm    Rewrite/remap.  This overlay is experimental.  It performs
              basic DN/data rewrite and objectClass/attributeType mapping.
       sssvlv Server Side Sorting and Virtual List Views.  This overlay
              implements the RFC2891 server-side sorting control and virtual
              list view controls, and replaces the RFC2696 paged-results
              implementation to ensure it works with the sorting technique.
       syncprov
              Syncrepl Provider.  This overlay implements the provider-side
              support for syncrepl replication, including persistent search
              functionality.
       translucent
              Translucent Proxy.  This overlay can be used with a backend
              database such as slapd-bdb(5) to create a "translucent proxy".
              Content of entries retrieved from a remote LDAP server can be
              partially overridden by the database.
       unique Attribute Uniqueness.  This overlay can be used with a backend
              database such as slapd-bdb(5) to enforce the uniqueness of
              some or all attributes within a subtree.
       valsort
              Value Sorting.  This overlay can be used to enforce a specific
              order for the values of an attribute when it is returned in a
              search.
