This overlay requires the
.B rbac.schema
loaded and three additional database config sections, one to store rbac
sessions, second to store the audit records and third to hold the overlay's
config parameters. They should appear after the existing Apache Fortress db
config.

.TP 
1. Session Database: Used to store the RBAC sessions corresponding to a logged in user.
.B database	mdb
.B suffix	"cn=rbac"
.B rootdn	"cn=manager,cn=rbac"
.B rootpw	{SSHA}pSOV2TpCxj2NMACijkcMko4fGrFopctU
.B index	rbacSessid  eq
.B directory	"/var/openldap/rbacsess"
.B overlay	dds
.B dds-default-ttl	3600
.B dds-max-dynamicObjects	100000
.B dbnosync
.B checkpoint	64 5
.PP

.TP
2. Audit Database: Stores records that track user's activities.
.B database	mdb
.B suffix	"cn=audit"
.B rootdn	"cn=manager,cn=audit"
.B rootpw	{SSHA}pSOV2TpCxj2NMACijkcMko4fGrFopctU
.B directory	"/var/openldap/rbacaudit"
.B dbnosync
.B checkpoint    64 5

.PP

.TP
3. Config Database: Stores the parameters needed for this overlay to work.
.B database	mdb
.B suffix		"dc=rbac"
.B rootdn		"cn=manager,dc=rbac"
.B rootpw		{SSHA}pSOV2TpCxj2NMACijkcMko4fGrFopctU
.B directory	"/var/openldap/rbacoverlay"
.B overlay	rbac
.B rbac-default-tenant-id "example"
.B rbac-default-users-base-dn "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
.B rbac-default-roles-base-dn "ou=Roles,ou=RBAC,dc=example,dc=com"

.B rbac-default-sessions-base-dn "cn=rbac"
.B rbac-default-audit-base-dn "cn=audit"
.B rbac-admin "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com"
.B rbac-pwd "{SSHA}pSOV2TpCxj2NMACijkcMko4fGrFopctU"
.B rbac-session-admin "cn=manager,cn=rbac"
