SLAPD-NULL(5)SLAPD-NULL(5)NAMEslapd-null - Null backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The Null backend to slapd(8) is surely the most useful
part of 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.
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 back-
end:
database null
suffix "cn=Nothing"
bind on
