Specify Database Directives

The slapd configuration file requires values for additional database directives.

To specify the directives, edit the following:

database

Specify any supported backend type.

Example: bdb

suffix

Specify the database suffix.

Example: dc=example,dc=com

rootdn

Specify the DN of root.

Example: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com

rootpw

Specify the password to root.

directory

Specify the path of the database directory.

Example: /usr/local/var/openldap-data

Note: The database directory must exist prior to running slapd and should only be accessible to the slapd process.
