Example

3.5. Database Link Plug-in Attributes (Chaining Attributes)

The database link plug-in attributes are also organized in an information tree, as shown in the
following diagram:
Figure 3.4. Database Link Plug-in
All plug-in technology used by the database link instances is stored in the cn=chaining database
plug-in node. This section presents the additional attribute information for the three nodes marked in
bold in the cn=chaining database, cn=plugins, cn=config information tree in
"Database Link Plug-in".
3.5.1. Database Link Attributes under cn=config, cn=chaining
database, cn=plugins, cn=config
This section covers global configuration attributes common to all instances are stored in the
cn=config, cn=chaining database, cn=plugins, cn=config tree node.
3.5.1.1. nsActiveChainingComponents
This attribute lists the components using chaining. A component is any functional unit in the server.
The value of this attribute overrides the value in the global configuration attribute. To disable chaining
on a particular database instance, use the value None. This attribute also allows the components
used to chain to be altered. By default, no components are allowed to chain, which explains why this
attribute will probably not appear in a list of cn=config, cn=chaining database, cn=config
attributes, as LDAP considers empty attributes to be non-existent.
