Description k3kk0n3n@gmail.com 2012-10-24 10:42:57 UTC 
Full_Name: 
Version: 2.4.32
OS: Ubuntu 10, Debian Squeeze
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/
Submission from: (NULL) (130.233.152.136)


The documentation in the slapd-config manpage is incorrect. The olcExtraAttrs
setting is said to be a global configuration setting when in reality it seems to
be database specific. In the slapd.conf manpage, the corresponding setting
(extra_attrs) is listed as being database-specific. I believe that is correct
although I have not checked it.
