SLAPD-NULL(5)							 SLAPD-NULL(5)

NAME
       slapd-null - Null backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/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 other than as the rootdn fail unless the database option "bind
       on" is given.
       - The slapadd(8) and slapcat(8) tools are equally exciting.
       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 any DN in this backend's suffix, with any pass‐
	      word.  The default is "off".

EXAMPLE
       Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null backend:

	      database null
	      suffix   "cn=Nothing"
	      bind     on

ACCESS CONTROL
       The null backend does not honor any of  the  access  control  semantics
       described in slapd.access(5).

FILES
       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
