slapd.overlays(5)
NAME
slapd.overlays - overlays for slapd, the stand-alone LDAP daemon
DESCRIPTION
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.

Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
