of the product.

2.3.1. cn=config

General configuration entries are stored in the cn=config entry. The cn=config entry is an instance
of the nsslapdConfig object class, which in turn inherits from extensibleObject object class.
2.3.1.1. nsslapd-accesslog (Access Log)
This attribute specifies the path and filename of the log used to record each LDAP access. The
following information is recorded by default in the log file:
• IP address of the client machine that accessed the database.
• Operations performed (for example, search, add, and modify).
• Result of the access (for example, the number of entries returned or an error code).
For more information on turning access logging off, see the "Monitoring Server and Database Activity"
chapter in the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
For access logging to be enabled, this attribute must have a valid path and parameter, and the
nsslapd-accesslog-logging-enabled configuration attribute must be switched to on. The table
lists the four possible combinations of values for these two configuration attributes and their outcome
in terms of disabling or enabling of access logging.
