HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

5.1.2.3 Slot number
The slot number, in this case slot=608, is a legacy part of the access log; it has the same meaning
as file descriptor. Ignore this part of the access log.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 fd=608 slot=608 connection from
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to 192.18.122.139
5.1.2.4 Operation number
To process a given LDAP request, Directory Server will perform the required series of operations.
For a given connection, all operation request and operation result pairs are given incremental
operation numbers beginning with op=0 to identify the distinct operations being performed.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0
In “Default access logging content”, we have op=0 for the bind operation request and result pair,
then op=1 for the LDAP search request and result pair, and so on. The entry op=-1 in the access
log generally means that the LDAP request for this connection was not issued by an external
LDAP client but, instead, initiated internally.
5.1.2.5 Method type
The method number, in this case method=128, indicates which LDAPv3 bind method was used
by the client.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Directory Manager" method=128 version=3
There are three possible bind method values:
• 0 for authentication
• 128 for simple bind with user password
• sasl for SASL bind using external authentication mechanism
5.1.2.6 Version number
The version number, in this case version=3, indicates the LDAP version number (either LDAPv2
or LDAPv3) that the LDAP client used to communicate with the LDAP server.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Directory Manager" method=128 version=3
5.1.2.7 Error number
The error number, in this case err=0, provides the LDAP result code returned from the LDAP
operation performed. The LDAP error number 0 means that the operation was successful. For
a more comprehensive list of LDAP result codes, see “LDAP result codes”.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0
5.1.2.8 Tag number
The tag number, in this case tag=97, indicates the type of result returned, which is almost always
a reflection of the type of operation performed. The tags used are the BER tags from the LDAP
protocol.
[21/Apr/2009:11:39:51 -0700] conn=11 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0
