cn=Schemas

DN

cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry serves as a container for the schemas. This entry is not really necessary because the schemas can be distinguished by the object class ibm-slapdSchema. It is included to improve the readability of the DIT.

Only one schema entry is currently allowed: cn=IBM Directory.

Number

1 (required)

Object Class

Container

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• objectClass

Optional Attributes

• None

 

cn=IBM Directory

DN

cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry contains all the schema configuration data from the first section (global stanza) of ibmslapd.conf. It also serves as a container for all the backends which use the schema. Multiple schemas are not currently supported, but if they were, then there would be one ibm-slapdSchema entry per schema. Note that multiple schemas are assumed to be incompatible. Therefore, a backend can be associated with a single schema only.

Number

1 (required)

Object Class

ibm-slapdSchema

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• ibm-slapdSchemaCheck

• ibm-slapdIncludeSchema

Object Class

Container

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• objectClass

• ibm-slapdPlugin

Optional Attributes

• ibm-slapdReadOnly

 

cn=RDBM Backends

DN

cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry serves as a container for the RDBM backends. It effectively replaces the database rdbm line from ibmslapd.conf by identifying all sub-entries as DB2 backends. This entry is not really necessary because the RDBM backends can be distinguished by object class ibm-slapdRdbmBackend. It is included to improve the readability of the DIT.

Number

0 or 1 (optional)

Object Class

Container

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• objectClass

• None

 

cn=Directory

DN

cn=Directory, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry contains all the database configuration settings for the default RDBM database backend.

Although multiple backends with arbitrary names can be created, the Server Administration assumes that "cn=Directory" is the main directory backend, and that "cn=ChangeLog" is the optional change log backend. Only the suffixes displayed in "cn=Directory" are configurable through the Server Administration (except for the change log suffix, which is set transparently by enabling change log).

Number

0 - n (optional)

Object Class

ibm-slapdRdbmBackend

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• ibm-slapdDbInstance

• ibm-slapdDbName

• ibm-slapdDbUserID

• ibm-slapdReplDbConns

• ibm-slapdSortKeyLimit

• ibm-slapdSortSrchAllowNonAdmin

• ibm-slapdSuffix

• ibm-slapdUseProcessIdPw

  If you are using ibm-slapdUseProcessIdPw, change the schema to make ibm-slapdDbUserPW optional.

 

cn=Change Log

DN

cn=Change Log, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry contains all the database configuration settings for the change log backend.

• ibm-slapdSortSrchAllowNonAdmin

• ibm-slapdSuffix

• ibm-slapdUseProcessIdPw

  If you are using ibm-slapdUseProcessIdPw, change the schema to make ibm-slapdDbUserPW optional.

 

cn=LDCF Backends

DN

cn=LDCF Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry serves as a container for the LDCF backends. It effectively replaces the database ldcf line from ibmslapd.conf by identifying all sub-entries as LDCF backends. This entry is not really necessary because the LDCF backends can be distinguished by the object class ibm-slapdLdcfBackend. It is included to improve the readability of the DIT.

Number

1 (required)

Object Class

Container

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• objectClass

• ibm-slapdSslAuth

• objectClass

Optional Attributes

• ibm-slapdSslCertificate

  ibm-slapdSslCipherSpecs is now deprecated. Use ibm-slapdSslCipherSpec instead. If you use ibm-slapdSslCipherSpecs, the server will convert to the supported attribute.

• ibm-slapdSslKeyDatabase

• ibm-slapdSslKeyDatabasePW

 

cn=CRL

DN

cn=CRL, cn=SSL, cn=Configuration

Description

This entry contains certificate revocation list data from the first section (global stanza) of ibmslapd.conf. It is only needed if "ibm-slapdSslAuth = serverclientauth" in the cn=SSL entry and the client certificates have been issued for CRL validation.

Number

0 or 1 (optional)

Object Class

ibm-slapdCRL

Mandatory Attributes

• cn

• ibm-slapdLdapCrlHost

• ibm-slapdLdapCrlPort

Specifies Global transaction support settings. Transaction support is provided using the plugin:

extendedop /QSYS.LIB/QGLDTRANEX.SRVPGM tranExtOpInit 1.3.18.0.2.12.5
1.3.18.0.2.12.6 

The server (slapd) loads this plugin automatically at startup if ibm-slapdTransactionEnable = TRUE. The plugin does not need to be explicitly added to ibmslapd.conf.
