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

Figure 2-2 Directory information tree showing configuration data
Most of these configuration tree nodes are covered in the following sections.
The cn=plugins node is covered in Chapter 3 “Plug-in implemented server functionality
reference”. The description of each attribute contains details such as the DN of its directory entry,
its default value, the valid range of values, and an example of its use.
NOTE:
Some of the entries and attributes described in this chapter may change in future releases of the
product.
2.3.1 cn=config
General configuration entries are stored in the cn=config entry. The cn=config entry is an
instance of the nsslapdConfig object class, which in turn inherits from extensibleObject
object class.
2.3.1.1 nsslapd-accesslog (Access log)
This attribute specifies the path and file name of the log used to record each LDAP access. The
following information is recorded by default in the log file:
• IP address of the client machine that accessed the database.
• Operations performed (for example, search, add, and modify).
• Result of the access (for example, the number of entries returned or an error code).
The following table describes the attribute parameters:
