NAME
       slapo-collect - Collective attributes overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The collect overlay is used to provide a relatively coarse implementation of RFC 3671 col‐
       lective attributes.  In X.500, a collective attribute is "a user  attribute  whose  values
       are the same for each member of an entry collection".

       Collective  attributes  are added to entries returned by a search operation when the entry
       is within the scope of the related ancestor.  Collective attributes can only  be  modified
       when the modification affects the related ancestor.


CONFIGURATION
       This slapd.conf option applies to the collect overlay.  It should appear after the overlay
       directive.

       collectinfo <DN> <attrlist>
              Specify the DN of the ancestor entry and the set of related collective  attributes,
              where  attrlist  is  a comma-separated list of attributes.  The DN should be within
              the naming context of the database.
