Server Plug-in Functionality Reference
110
Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • December 2001
shows us some of the plug-in configuration attributes. Some of these attributes are
common to all plug-ins while others may be particular to a specific plug-in. You
can check which attributes are currently being used by a given plug-in by
performing an
ldapsearch
on the
cn=config
subtree.
Object Classes for Plug-in Configuration
All plug-ins are instances of the
nsSlapdPlugin
object class which in turn inherits
from the
extensibleObject
object class. For plug-in configuration attributes to be
taken into account by the server both of these object classes (in addition to the
top
object class) must be present in the entry as shown in the following example:
Server Plug-in Functionality Reference
The following tables provide you with a quick overview of the plug-ins provided
with Directory Server 6.0, along with their configurable options, configurable
arguments, default setting, dependencies, general performance related information
and further reading. These tables will allow you to weigh up plug-in performance
gains and costs and choose the optimal settings for your deployment. The Further
Information heading cross references further reading where this is available.
