OpenLDAP Devel README OpenLDAP -devel is for the development of OpenLDAP. As such, it changes often. These changes include changes in functionality and unproven bug fixes. Many of these changes will cause previous working programs to fail. Additional developer documents are available in doc/devel, todo list guidelines for developers Client developers seeking a stable development platform should use -stable or the latest OpenLDAP release. OpenLDAP 1.1.1 README This is the OpenLDAP Release 1.1.1. For a description of what this distribution contains, see the ANNOUNCEMENT file in this directory. For a description of changes from previous releases, see the CHANGES file in this directory. For a more detailed description of how to make an install the distribution, see the INSTALL file in this directory. Additional installation information, such as per platform hints can be found in the doc/install directory. For more information: http://www.OpenLDAP.org/software/ REQUIRED SOFTWARE Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components: Base system (libraries and tools): Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries POSIX REGEX headers and libraries SLAPD: LDBM compatible datastore (Sleepycat Berkeley DB 2.3.16 or GDBM) SLURPD: LTHREAD compatible thread package (POSIX pthreads, MIT pthreads, Mach Cthreads or Sun LWP) LDAPD: ISODE compatible X.500 distribution CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware: Depends on package. See per package README. MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION This is a quick guide. For details, see the INSTALL file. % ./configure configure OpenLDAP for current platform % make depend this will create dependency information % make this will build the system % su # make install in this directory. This should produce something that basically works. You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build. See the INSTALL file in this directory for more information. DOCUMENTATION There are man pages for most programs in the distribution and routines in the various libraries. See ldap(3) for details. Additional documentation can be found in the doc directory. doc/devel Developer Information doc/drafts LDAP-related IETF drafts doc/install Installation and Integration doc/man Raw man(1) pages doc/rfcs LDAP-related Request for Comments There is an OpenLDAP home page available that contains the latest LDAP news, releases announcements, pointers to other LDAP resources, etc.. It is located at: http://www.OpenLDAP.org/ The OpenLDAP Software FAQ is available at: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=2 FEEDBACK / PROBLEM REPORTS / DISCUSSIONS We would appreciate any feedback you can provide. If you have problems, report them using our Issue Tracking System: http://www.OpenLDAP.com/its/ or by sending e-mail to: OpenLDAP-its@OpenLDAP.org Additional mailing lists are available.

Separates per backend type from per backend database initialization and startup. Also supports per type / per backend shutdown. New frontend startup/shutdown routines are also provided: slap_init() slap_startup() slap_shutdown() slap_destroy() New frontend->backend startup/shutdown is managed by: backend_init() backend_startup() backend_shutdown backend_destroy backend_init() now calls bi_init() to initial all function pointers for the backend (excepting bi_init() which is now the only hardcoded entry point). New entry points are detailed in slap.h struct backend_info. backend_info is a per database type structure. Besides the new startup/shutdown entry points, the new interface also supports per backend type configuration options. One could have: backend bdb2 (new Berkeley DB 2 backend) bdb2_home /directory database bdb2 ... *** This code is fairly experimental *** *** Much cleanup and testing is still needed *** see slap.h for details on struct backend_db and backend_info.
