SLAPD-SHELL(5)							SLAPD-SHELL(5)

NAME
       slapd-shell - Shell backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The  Shell  backend to slapd(8) executes external programs to implement
       operations, and is designed to make it easy to tie an existing database
       to the slapd front-end.

       This backend is is primarily intended to be used in prototypes.

WARNING
       This  backend's	calling	 conventions  have changed since OpenLDAP 2.0.
       The abandon operation now gets a new "pid:" line.  The  "msgid:"	 lines
       will be removed in a future version.

CONFIGURATION
       These slapd.conf options apply to the SHELL backend database.  That is,
       they must follow a "database shell" line and come before any subsequent
       "backend" or "database" lines.  Other database options are described in
       the slapd.conf(5) manual page.

       These options specify the pathname and arguments of the program to exe‐
       cute  in response to the given LDAP operation.  Each option is followed
       by the input lines that the program receives:

       abandon <pathname> <argument>...
	      ABANDON
	      msgid: <message ID of operation to abandon>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      pid: <process ID of operation to abandon>

       add <pathname> <argument>...
	      ADD
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      <entry in LDIF format>

       bind <pathname> <argument>...
	      BIND
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <DN>
	      method: <method number>
	      credlen: <length of <credentials>>
	      cred: <credentials>

       compare <pathname> <argument>...
	      COMPARE
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <DN>
	      <attribute>: <value>

       delete <pathname> <argument>...
	      DELETE
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <DN>

       modify <pathname> <argument>...
	      MODIFY
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <DN>
	      <repeat {
		  <"add"/"delete"/"replace">: <attribute>
		  <repeat { <attribute>: <value> }>
		  -
	      }>

       modrdn <pathname> <argument>...
	      MODRDN
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <DN>
	      newrdn: <new RDN>
	      deleteoldrdn: <0 or 1>
	      <if new superior is specified: "newSuperior: <DN>">

       search <pathname> <argument>...
	      SEARCH
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      base: <base DN>
	      scope: <0-2, see ldap.h>
	      deref: <0-3, see ldap.h>
	      sizelimit: <size limit>
	      timelimit: <time limit>
	      filter: <filter>
	      attrsonly: <0 or 1>
	      attrs: <"all" or space-separated attribute list>

       unbind <pathname> <argument>...
	      UNBIND
	      msgid: <message id>
	      <repeat { "suffix:" <database suffix DN> }>
	      dn: <bound DN>

       Note that you need only supply configuration lines for  those  commands
       you  want the backend to handle.	 Operations for which a command is not
       supplied will be refused with an "unwilling to perform" error.

       The commands - except abandon and unbind - should output:
	      RESULT
	      code: <integer>
	      matched: <matched DN>
	      info: <text>
       where only RESULT is mandatory.	The search RESULT should  be  preceded
       by  the	entries	 in  LDIF format, each entry followed by a blank line.
       Lines starting with `#' or `DEBUG:' are ignored.

EXAMPLE
       There is an example search script in the slapd/back-shell/ directory in
       the OpenLDAP source tree.

LIMITATIONS
       The  shell  backend does not support threaded environments.  When using
       the shell backend, slapd(8) should be built --without-threads.

FILES
       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
	      default slapd configuration file
