SLAPO-LASTBIND(5)SLAPO-LASTBIND(5)NAMEslapo-lastbind - lastbind overlay to slapd
SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The lastbind overlay to slapd(8) allows recording the timestamp of the
last successful bind to entries in the directory, in the authTimestamp
attribute. The overlay can be configured to update this timestamp only
if it is older than a given value, thus avoiding large numbers of write
operations penalizing performance. One sample use for this overlay
would be to detect unused accounts.
CONFIGURATION
The config directives that are specific to the lastbind overlay must be
prefixed by lastbind-, to avoid potential conflicts with directives
specific to the underlying database or to other stacked overlays.
overlay lastbind
This directive adds the lastbind overlay to the current data‐
base, see slapd.conf(5) for details.
This slapd.conf configuration option is defined for the lastbind over‐
lay. It must appear after the overlay directive:
lastbind-precision <seconds>
The value <seconds> is the number of seconds after which to
update the authTimestamp attribute in an entry. If the existing
value of authTimestamp is less than <seconds> old, it will not
be changed. If this configuration option is omitted, the auth‐
Timestamp attribute is updated on each successful bind opera‐
tion.
EXAMPLE
This example configures the lastbind overlay to store authTimestamp in
all entries in a database, with a 1 week precision. Add the following
to slapd.conf(5):
database <database>
# ...
overlay lastbind
lastbind-precision 604800
slapd must also load lastbind.la, if compiled as a run-time module;

derived from the password policy overlay.
