ldaptab -- managed slapd daemon table

Synopsis

/etc/ldap/ldaptab

Description

The file /etc/ldap/ldaptab contains information about the managed slapd(1Mldap) daemons on the host. This information is used by the SCOAdmin LDAP manager (see Configuring and administering LDAP), and by the ldapstart(1Mldap) and ldapstop(1Mldap) start/stop daemons listed in the ldaptab file.

The information on each daemon is on one line in the structure described in the following table:

daemon identifier string unique identifier for a particular daemon configuration. Note that there should be no whitespace in this field.

port number number port number to which the daemon listens to requests; if this field is empty, the default port number, 389, is used

master configuration file filename the slapd.conf(4ldap) file

system log level number the level at which messages and errors are sent to the system log (see ``Error levels'')

start at boot yes | no indicates whether the daemon should start at init state 2

|                   |          |  should start at init state 2  | 
|-------------------|----------|--------------------------------|

The fields in the table are colon-separated. Lines beginning with the number symbol (#) are treated as comments.

Error levels

Each error level corresponds to a particular type of message that is logged, as follows:

1: trace function calls
2: debug packet handling
4: heavy trace debugging
8: connection management
16: print out packets sent and received
32: search filter processing
64: configuration file processing
128: access control list processing
256: stats log connections/operations/results
512: stats log entries sent
1024: print communication with shell backends
2048: print entry parsing debugging

Examples

The following is an example of a typical entry in the ldaptab file:

   #Main daemon 
   daemon1:389:/etc/ldap/adm/daemon1/slapd.conf:0:yes 
   #test configuration 
   test1:400:/etc/ldap/adm/test1/slapd.conf:65535:no
