Example nsslapd-return-exact-case: off

3.1.80. nsslapd-rewrite-rfc1274

This attribute is deprecated and will be removed in a later version.

This attribute is used only for LDAPv2 clients that require attribute types to be returned with their

RFC 1274 names. Set the value to on for those clients. The default is off.

3.1.81. nsslapd-rootdn (Manager DN)

This attribute sets the distinguished name (DN) of an entry that is not subject to access control

restrictions, administrative limit restrictions for operations on the directory, or resource limits in

general. There does not have to be an entry corresponding to this DN, and by default there is

not an entry for this DN, thus values like cn=Directory Manager are acceptable.

For information on changing the root DN, see the "Creating Directory Entries" chapter in the

Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

Parameter Description

Entry DN cn=config

Valid Values Any valid distinguished name

Default Value

Example nsslapd-rootdn: cn=Directory Manager

3.1.82. nsslapd-rootpw (Root Password)

This attribute sets the password associated with the Manager DN. When the root password is

provided, it is encrypted according to the encryption method selected for the

nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme attribute. When viewed from the server console, this attribute

shows the value *****. When viewed from the dse.ldif file, this attribute shows the encryption

method followed by the encrypted string of the password. The example shows the password as

displayed in the dse.ldif file, not the actual password.

CAUTION

When the root DN is configred at server setup, a root password is required.

However, it is possible for the root password to be deleted from dse.ldif by

directly editing the file. In this situation, the root DN can only obtain the same

access to the directory is allowed for anonymous access. Always make sure that

a root password is defined in dse.ldif when a root DN is configured for the

cn=config
