If for some reason this attribute were set to
off
, the solution is to export the database to
ldif (
db2ldif
or
db2ldif.pl
or from the console), set the value to
on
, and import the
data. The import process assigns each entry a unique id.
2.3.1.64. nsslapd-ldapiautobind (Enable Autobind)
The
nsslapd-ldapiautobind
sets whether the server will allow users to autobind to Directory
Server using LDAPI. Autobind maps the UID or GUID number of a system user to a Directory Server
user, and automatically authenticates the user to Directory Server based on those credentials. The
Directory Server connection occurs over UNIX socket.
Along with enabling autobind, configuring autobind requires configuring mapping entries. The
nsslapd-ldapimaprootdn
maps a root user on the system to the Directory Manager. The
nsslapd-ldapimaptoentries
maps regular users to Directory Server users, based on the
parameters defined in the
nsslapd-ldapiuidnumbertype
,
nsslapd-ldapigidnumbertype
,
and
nsslapd-ldapientrysearchbase
attributes.
Autobind can only be enabled if LDAPI is enabled, meaning the
nsslapd-ldapilisten
is
on
and
the
nsslapd-ldapifilepath
attribute is set to an LDAPI socket.

nsslapd-ldapiautobind: off
2.3.1.65. nsslapd-ldapientrysearchbase (Search Base for LDAPI
Authentication Entries)
With autobind, it is possible to map system users to Directory Server user entries, based on the
system user's UID and GUID numbers. This requires setting Directory Server parameters for
which attribute to use for the UID number (
nsslapd-ldapiuidnumbertype
) and GUID number
(
nsslapd-ldapigidnumbertype
) and setting the search base to use to search for matching user
entries.
The
nsslapd-ldapientrysearchbase
gives the subtree to search for user entries to use for
autobind.
Parameter
Description
Entry DN
cn=config
Valid Values
DN
Default Value
The suffix created when the server instance was
created, such as
dc=example,dc=com
Syntax
DN
Example
nsslapd-ldapientrysearchbase:
ou=people,dc=example,dc=om
