slapd-null(5)

     NAME
          slapd-null - Null backend to slapd

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

     DESCRIPTION
          The Null backend to slapd(8) is surely the most useful part
          of slapd:
          - Searches return success but no entries.
          - Compares return compareFalse.
          - Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do
          nothing.
          - Binds fail unless the database option "bind on" is given.
          Inspired by the /dev/null device.

     CONFIGURATION
          This slapd.conf option applies to the NULL backend database.
          That is, it must follow a "database null" line and come
          before any subsequent "database" lines.  Other database
          options are described in the slapd.conf(5) manual page.

          bind <on/off>
               Allow binds as DNs in this backend's suffix.  The
               default is "off".

     EXAMPLE
          Here is a possible slapd.conf extract using the Null
          backend:

               database null
               suffix   "cn=Nothing"
               bind     on
