Parameters for Password Storage

The following plug-in functions and parameters access password storage schemes to encode, decode, and compare passwords:

Password Storage Plug-ins

The parameters listed below are used with functions that you can call to store passwords.

Parameter ID

SLAPI_PLUGIN_PWD_STORAGE_SCHEME_CMP_FN
This function accesses a password storage scheme to compare passwords.
SLAPI_PLUGIN_PWD_STORAGE_SCHEME_DEC_FN
This function accesses a password storage scheme to decode passwords.

The parameters listed below apply to password storage schemes.

Parameter ID
Data Type
Description
SLAPI_PLUGIN_PWD_STORAGE_SCHEME_DB_PWD

Parameters for Resource Limits

The following parameters are used to provide information about resource limits:

The following parameter is a valid value for the slapi_reslimit_register() function.

Parameter ID
Data Type
Description
SLAPI_RESLIMIT_TYPE_INT
int
Valid values for the type parameter for slapi_reslimit_register().

Status Codes for Resource Limits

The status codes are used with functions that extract attribute values from a binder entry that corresponds to resource limits. Typically, operational attributes are used to hold binder-specific search size limits.

Any resource limits found in the binder entry are cached in the connection structure by a connection object extension. This means that if the attributes that correspond to the binder entry is changed, the resource limit is not effected until the next bind occurs as that entry.

The status codes are the possible return values for the slapi_reslimit_register() and slapi_reslimit_get_integer_limit() functions. A plug-in or server subsystem that wants to use the resource limit subsystem should call the slapi_reslimit_register() plug-in function once for each limit to be tracked. slapi_reslimit_register() should be called before any client connections are accepted.
