SLAPO-MEMBEROF(5) File Formats Manual SLAPO-MEMBEROF(5)
slapo-memberof - Reverse Group Membership overlay to slapd
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
The memberof overlay to slapd(8) allows automatic reverse group
membership maintenance. Any time a group entry is modified, its
members are modified as appropriate in order to keep a DN-valued "is
member of" attribute updated with the DN of the group.
The config directives that are specific to the memberof overlay must
be prefixed by memberof-, to avoid potential conflicts with
directives specific to the underlying database or to other stacked
overlays.
overlay memberof
This directive adds the memberof overlay to the current
database; see slapd.conf(5) for details.
The following slapd.conf configuration options are defined for the
memberof overlay.
memberof-group-oc <group-oc>
The value <group-oc> is the name of the objectClass that
triggers the reverse group membership update. It defaults to
groupOfNames.
memberof-member-ad <member-ad>
The value <member-ad> is the name of the attribute that
contains the names of the members in the group objects; it
must be DN-valued. It defaults to member.
memberof-memberof-ad <memberof-ad>
The value <memberof-ad> is the name of the attribute that
contains the names of the groups an entry is member of; it
must be DN-valued. Its contents are automatically updated by
the overlay. It defaults to memberOf.
memberof-dn <dn>
The value <dn> contains the DN that is used as modifiersName
for internal modifications performed to update the reverse
group membership. It defaults to the rootdn of the underlying
database.
memberof-dangling {ignore, drop, error}
This option determines the behavior of the overlay when,
during a modification, it encounters dangling references. The
default is ignore, which may leave dangling references. Other
options are drop, which discards those modifications that
would result in dangling references, and error, which causes
modifications that would result in dangling references to
fail.
memberof-dangling-error <error-code>
If memberof-dangling is set to error, this configuration
parameter can be used to modify the response code returned in
case of violation. It defaults to "constraint violation", but
other implementations are known to return "no such object"
instead.
memberof-refint {true|FALSE}
This option determines whether the overlay will try to
preserve referential integrity or not. If set to TRUE, when
an entry containing values of the "is member of" attribute is
modified, the corresponding groups are modified as well.
The memberof overlay may be used with any backend that provides full
read-write functionality, but it is mainly intended for use with
local storage backends. The maintenance operations it performs are
internal to the server on which the overlay is configured and are
never replicated. Replica servers should be configured with their own
instances of the memberOf overlay if it is desired to maintain these
memberOf attributes on the replicas. Note that slapo-memberOf is not
compatible with syncrepl based replication, and should not be used in
a replicated environment. An alternative is to use slapo-dynlist to
emulate slapo-memberOf behavior.
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
default slapd configuration file
slapd.conf(5), slapd-config(5), slapd(8). The slapo-memberof(5)
overlay supports dynamic configuration via back-config.
