NAME
slapo-collect - Collective attributes overlay to slapd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The collect overlay is used to provide a relatively coarse implementa-
tion of RFC 3671 collective attributes. In X.500, a collective attri-
bute is "a user attribute whose values are the same for each member of
an entry collection".
Collective attributes are added to entries returned by a search opera-
tion when the entry is within the scope of the related ancestor. Col-
lective attributes can only be modified when the modification affects
the related ancestor.
CONFIGURATION
This slapd.conf option applies to the collect overlay. It should ap-
pear after the overlay directive.
collectinfo <DN> <attrlist>
Specify the DN of the ancestor entry and the set of related col-
lective attributes, where attrlist is a comma-separated list of
attributes. The DN should be within the naming context of the
database.
