DESCRIPTION

SSllaappdd is the stand-alone LDAP daemon. It listens for LDAP connections

on any number of ports (default 389), responding to the LDAP operations it receives over these connections. ssllaappdd is typically invoked at boot time, usually out of //eettcc//rrcc..llooccaall. Upon startup, ssllaappdd normally forks and disassociates itself from the invoking tty. If configured in //eettcc//ooppeennllddaapp//ssllaappdd..ccoonnff, the ssllaappdd process will print its process ID (see ggeettppiidd(2)) to a ..ppiidd file, as well as the command line options

during invocation to an ..aarrggss file (see ssllaappdd..ccoonnff(5)). If the -dd flag

is given, even with a zero argument, ssllaappdd will not fork and disassoci-

ate from the invoking tty. SSllaappdd can be configured to provide replicated service for a database with the help of sslluurrppdd, the standalone LDAP update replication daemon. See sslluurrppdd(8) for details. See the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" for more details on ssllaappdd. OOPPTTIIOONNSS

-44 Listen on IPv4 addresses only.

-66 Listen on IPv6 addresses only.

-TT ((aa||cc||ii||pp))

Run in Tool mode. The additional argument selects whether to run as slapadd, slapcat, slapindex, or slappasswd. This option should be the first option specified when it is used. Any remaining options will be interpreted by the corresponding slap

tool program. Note that these tool programs will usually be sym-

bolic links to slapd. This option is provided for situations

where symbolic links are not provided or not usable.

-dd debug-level

Turn on debugging as defined by debug-level. If this option is

specified, even with a zero argument, ssllaappdd will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general operation

and status messages are printed for any value of debug-level.

debug-level is taken as a bit string, with each bit correspond-

ing to a different kind of debugging information. See

for details. Remember that if you turn on packet logging, pack-

ets containing bind passwords will be output, so if you redirect

the log to a logfile, that file should be read-protected.

-ss syslog-level

This option tells ssllaappdd at what level debugging statements should be logged to the ssyysslloogg(8) facility.

-nn service-name

Specifies the service name for logging and other purposes.

Defaults to basename of argv[0], i.e.: "slapd".

-ll syslog-local-user

Selects the local user of the ssyysslloogg(8) facility. Values can be LLOOCCAALL00, LLOOCCAALL11, and so on, up to LLOOCCAALL77. The default is LLOOCCAALL44. However, this option is only permitted on systems that support local users with the ssyysslloogg(8) facility.

-ff slapd-config-file

Specifies the slapd configuration file. The default is

//eettcc//ooppeennllddaapp//ssllaappdd..ccoonnff.

-hh URLlist

ssllaappdd will by default serve llddaapp::////// (LDAP over TCP on all interfaces on default LDAP port). That is, it will bind using

INADDRANY and port 389. The -hh option may be used to specify

LDAP (and other scheme) URLs to serve. For example, if slapd is

given -hh ""llddaapp::////112277..00..00..11::99000099// llddaappss::////// llddaappii:://////"" ,, It will

bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP, 0.0.0.0:636 for LDAP over TLS, and LDAP over IPC (Unix domain sockets). Host 0.0.0.0 represents INADDRANY. A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLs should be of LDAP (ldap://) or LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) or LDAP over IPC (ldapi://) scheme without a DN or other optional parameters, except an experimental extension to indicate the permissions of the underlying listeners. Support for the latter two schemes depends on selected configuration options. Hosts may be specified by name or IPv4 and IPv6 address formats. Ports, if specified, must be numeric. The default ldap:// port

is 389 and the default ldaps:// port is 636. The socket permis-

sions for LDAP over IPC are indicated by "x-mod=-rwxrwxrwx", "x-

mod=0777" or "x-mod=777", where any of the "rwx" can be "-" to

suppress the related permission (note, however, that sockets only honor the "w" permission), while any of the "7" can be any legal octal digit, according to chmod(1). While LDAP over IPC requires write permissions on the socket to allow any operation,

the other listeners can take advantage of the "x-mod" extension

to apply rough limitations to users, e.g. allow read operations ("r", which applies to search and compare), write operations

("w", which applies to add, delete, modify and modrdn), and exe-

cute operations ("x", which means bind is required). "User"

permissions apply to bound users, while "other" apply to anony-

mous users.

-rr directory

Specifies a chroot "jail" directory. slapd will cchhddiirr(2) then

cchhrroooott(2) to this directory after opening listeners but before reading any configuration file or initializing any backend.

-uu user

ssllaappdd will run slapd with the specified user name or id, and

that user's supplementary group access list as set with init-

groups(3). The group ID is also changed to this user's gid,

unless the -g option is used to override.

-gg group

ssllaappdd will run with the specified group name or id.

Note that on some systems, running as a non-privileged user will pre-

vent passwd back-ends from accessing the encrypted passwords. Note

also that any shell back-ends will run as the specified non-privileged

user.

-tt ssllaappdd will read the configuration file (the default if none is

given with the -f switch) and check its syntax, without opening

any listener or database.

-cc cookie

This option provides a cookie for the syncrepl replication con-

sumer. The cookie is a comma separated list of name=value pairs. Currently supported syncrepl cookie fields are ccssnn,, ssiidd,,

and rriidd.. ccssnn is the commit sequence number received by a previ-

ous synchronization and represents the state of the consumer replica content which the syncrepl engine will synchronize to

the current provider content. ssiidd is the identity of the per-

scope session log with which the provider server can process this syncrepl request to reduce synchronization traffic. rriidd identifies a replication thread within the consumer server and

is used to find the syncrepl specification in ssllaappdd..ccoonnff(5) hav-

ing the matching replication identifier in its definition. EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS

To start slapd and have it fork and detach from the terminal and start

serving the LDAP databases defined in the default config file, just type:

/usr/libexec/slapd

To start ssllaappdd with an alternate configuration file, and turn on volu-

minous debugging which will be printed on standard error, type:

/usr/libexec/slapd -f /var/tmp/slapd.conf -d 255

To test whether the configuration file is correct or not, type:

/usr/libexec/slapd -t
