# slapo-allop(5)

All Operational Attributes overlay

## NAME

slapo-allop - All Operational Attributes overlay

## SYNOPSIS

ETCDIR/slapd.conf

## DESCRIPTION

The All Operational Attributes overlay is designed to allow slapd to interoperate with dumb clients that expect all attributes, including operational ones, to be returned when "\*" or an empty attribute list is requested, as opposed to RFC2251 and RFC3673.

## CONFIGURATION

These **slapd.conf** options apply to the All Operational overlay. They should appear after the **overlay** directive and before any subsequent **database** directive.

- **allop-URI \<ldapURI\>**

  Specify the base and the scope of search operations that trigger the overlay. By default, it is "ldap:///??base", i.e. it only applies to the rootDSE. This requires the overlay to be instantited as global.

## EXAMPLES

default behavior: only affects requests to the rootDSE

```
        # global
        overlay         allop
```

affects all requests

```
        # global
        overlay         allop
        allop-URI       "ldap:///??sub"
```

affects only requests directed to the suffix of a database

```
        # per database
        database        bdb
        suffix          "dc=example,dc=com"
        # database specific directives ...
        overlay         allop
        allop-URI       "ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??base"
```
