Customizing the LDAP server configuration
The LDAP server configuration file, ds.conf, contains configuration options that are read once, when the LDAP server is started. Changes to this file are not put into effect until the LDAP server is restarted. The ds.conf file is also used by the ds2ldif and ldif2ds utilities. The following topics contain more information about the LDAP server configuration file and options that can be specified in it.
- Creating the ds.conf file
- Configuration file options
- Configuration considerations
- Configuring the operational mode
- Establishing the root administrator DN and basic replication replica server DN and passwords
- Example configuration scenarios
The CDBM backend contains configuration entries whose attributes represent configuration options. These configuration entries are read when the LDAP server is started. The attribute values can be changed dynamically by an LDAP modify command while the LDAP server is running. All changes take effect immediately, without restarting the LDAP server. The CDBM backend itself is configured in the LDAP server configuration file.
