NAME
slapd-null - Null backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The Null backend to
slapd(8)
is surely the most useful part of
R slapd :
- Searches return success but no entries.
- Compares return compareFalse.
- Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing.
- Binds fail unless the database option "bind on" is given.
- The
slapadd(8)
and
slapcat(8)
tools are equally exciting.
Inspired by the /dev/null device.
CONFIGURATION
This
slapd.conf
option applies to the NULL backend database.
That is, it must follow a "database null" line and come before
any subsequent "database" lines.
Other database options are described in the
slapd.conf(5)
manual page.
bind <on/off>
Allow binds as DNs in this backend's suffix.
The default is "off".
EXAMPLE
Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null backend:
database null
suffix "cn=Nothing"
bind on
ACCESS CONTROL
The
null
backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in
slapd.access(5).
