NAME         top

       slapo-pbind - proxy bind overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS         top

       ETCDIR/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pbind overlay to slapd(8) forwards Simple Binds on a local
       database to a remote LDAP server instead of processing them
       locally. The remote connection is managed using an instance of the
       ldap backend.

       The pbind overlay uses a subset of the ldap backend's config
       directives. They are described in more detail in slapd-ldap(5).

       Note: this overlay is built into the ldap backend; it is not a
       separate module.

       overlay pbind
              This directive adds the proxy bind overlay to the current
              backend.  The proxy bind overlay may be used with any
              backend, but it is mainly intended for use with local
              storage backends.

       uri <ldapurl>
              LDAP server to use.

       tls <TLS parameters>
              Specify the use of TLS.

       network-timeout <time>
              Set the network timeout.

       quarantine <quarantine parameters>
              Turns on quarantine of URIs that returned LDAP_UNAVAILABLE.
