slapd-ldif - LDIF backend to slapd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The LDIF backend to slapd(8) is a basic storage backend that stores entries in text files in LDIF format, and exploits the filesystem to
create the tree structure of the database. It is intended as a cheap, low performance easy to use backend, and it is exploited by higher-
level internal structures to provide a permanent storage.
CONFIGURATION
These slapd.conf options apply to the LDIF backend database. That is, they must follow a "database ldif" line and come before any subse-
quent "backend" or "database" lines. Other database options are described in the slapd.conf(5) manual page.
directory <dir>
Specify the directory where the database tree starts. The directory must exist and grant appropriate permissions (rwx) to the iden-
tity slapd is running with.
ACCESS CONTROL
The LDIF backend does not honor any of the access control semantics described in slapd.access(5). Only read (=r) access to the entry
pseudo-attribute and to the other attribute values of the entries returned by the search operation is honored, which is performed by the
frontend.
FILES
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
default slapd configuration file
SEE ALSO slapd.conf(5), slapd-config(5), slapd(8), ldif(5).

Can I delete the above file? It's big, about 1G. It's on a redhat ent 4 with ldap on it.
Is that safe to delete? It wasn't been used for already a month and it's in the backup storage.
