.SH NAME
|
|
slapd-null \- Null backend to slapd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Null backend to
|
|
.BR slapd (8)
|
|
is surely the most useful part of
|
|
.BR slapd :
|
|
.br
|
|
- Searches return success but no entries.
|
|
.br
|
|
- Compares return compareFalse.
|
|
.br
|
|
- Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing.
|
|
.br
|
|
- Binds fail unless the database option "bind on" is given.
|
|
.br
|
|
Inspired by the /dev/null device.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
option in this category 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
|
|
.BR slapd.conf (5)
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B bind <on/off>
|
|
Allow binds as DNs in this backend's suffix.
|
|
The default is "off".
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null backend:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
database null
|
|
suffix "cn=Nothing"
|
|
bind on
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
