See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. .SH NAME slapd.replog \- slapd replication log format .SH SYNOPSIS slapd.replog slapd.replog.lock .SH DESCRIPTION .LP The file slapd.replog is produced by the stand-alone LDAP daemon, .BR slapd (8), when changes are made to its local database that are to be propagated to one or more replica .IR slapd s. The file consists of zero or more records, each one corresponding to a change, addition, or deletion from the .I slapd database. The file is meant to be read and processed by .BR slurpd (8), the stand-alone LDAP update replication daemon. The records are separated by a blank line. Each record has the following format. .LP The record begins with one or more lines indicating the replicas to which the change is to be propagated: .LP .nf replica: <hostname[:portnumber]> .fi .LP Next, the time the change took place given, as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, with an optional decimal extension, in order to make times unique. Note that slapd does not make times unique, but slurpd makes all times unique in its copies of the replog files. .LP .nf time: <integer[.integer]> .fi .LP Next, the distinguished name of the entry being changed is given: .LP .nf dn: <distinguishedname> .fi .LP Next, the type of change being made is given: .LP .nf changetype: <[modify|add|delete|modrdn]> .fi .LP Finally, the change information itself is given, the format of which depends on what kind of change was specified above. For a \fIchangetype\fP of \fImodify\fP, the format is one or more of the following: .LP .nf add: <attributetype> <attributetype>: <value1> <attributetype>: <value2> ... - .fi .LP Or, for a replace modification: .LP .nf replace: <attributetype> <attributetype>: <value1> <attributetype>: <value2> ... - .fi .LP Or, for a delete modification: .LP .nf delete: <attributetype> <attributetype>: <value1> <attributetype>: <value2> ... - .fi .LP If no \fIattributetype\fP lines are given, the entire attribute is to be deleted. .LP For a \fIchangetype\fP of \fIadd\fP, the format is: .LP .nf <attributetype1>: <value1> <attributetype1>: <value2> ... <attributetypeN>: <value1> <attributetypeN>: <value2> .fi .LP For a \fIchangetype\fP of \fImodrdn\fP, the format is: .LP .nf newrdn: <newrdn> deleteoldrdn: 0 | 1 .fi .LP where a value of 1 for deleteoldrdn means to delete the values forming the old rdn from the entry, and a value of 0 means to leave the values as non-distinguished attributes in the entry. .LP For a \fIchangetype\fP of \fIdelete\fP, no additional information is needed in the record. .LP The format of the values is the LDAP Directory Interchange Format described in .BR ldif (5). .LP Access to the \fIslapd.replog\fP file is synchronized through the use of .BR flock (3) on the file \fIslapd.replog.lock\fP. Any process reading or writing this file should obey this locking convention. .SH EXAMPLE The following sample \fIslapd.replog\fP file contains information on one of each type of change. .LP .nf replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu time: 797612941 dn: cn=Babs Jensen,dc=example,dc=com changetype: add objectclass: person cn: babs cn: babs jensen sn: jensen replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu time: 797612973 dn: cn=Babs Jensen,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify add: description description: the fabulous babs replica: truelies.rs.itd.umich.edu replica: judgmentday.rs.itd.umich.edu time: 797613020 dn: cn=Babs Jensen,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modrdn newrdn: cn=Barbara J Jensen deleteoldrdn: 0 .fi .SH FILES .TP slapd.replog slapd replication log file .TP slapd.replog.lock lockfile for slapd.replog .SH SEE ALSO .BR ldap (3), .BR ldif (5), .BR slapd (8), .BR slurpd (8) .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .B OpenLDAP is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). .B OpenLDAP is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.
