slapd-meta(5)
NAME
slapd-meta - metadirectory backend
SYNOPSIS
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The meta backend to slapd(8) performs basic LDAP proxying with respect
to a set of remote LDAP servers, called "targets". The information
contained in these servers can be presented as belonging to a single
Directory Information Tree (DIT).
A basic knowledge of the functionality of the slapd-ldap(5) backend is
recommended. This backend has been designed as an enhancement of the
ldap backend. The two backends share many features (actually they also
share portions of code). While the ldap backend is intended to proxy
operations directed to a single server, the meta backend is mainly
intended for proxying of multiple servers and possibly naming context
masquerading. These features, although useful in many scenarios, may
result in excessive overhead for some applications, so its use should
be carefully considered. In the examples section, some typical scenar-
ios will be discussed.
EXAMPLES
There are examples in various places in this document, as well as in
the slapd/back-meta/data/ directory in the OpenLDAP source tree.
CONFIGURATION
These slapd.conf options apply to the META backend database. That is,
they must follow a "database meta" line and come before any subsequent
"backend" or "database" lines. Other database options are described in
the slapd.conf(5) manual page.
Note: as with the ldap backend, operational attributes related to entry
creation/modification should not be used, as they would be passed to
the target servers, generating an error. Moreover, it makes little
sense to use such attributes in proxying, as the proxy server doesn't
actually store data, so it should have no knowledge of such attributes.
While code to strip the modification attributes has been put in place
(and #ifdef'd), it implies unmotivated overhead. So it is strongly
recommended to set
lastmod off
for every ldap and meta backend.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES
Target configuration starts with the "uri" directive. All the configu-
ration directives that are not specific to targets should be defined
first for clarity, including those that are common to all backends.
They are:
default-target none
This directive forces the backend to reject all those operations
that must resolve to a single target in case none or multiple
targets are selected. They include: add, delete, modify, mod-
rdn; compare is not included, as well as bind since, as they
don't alter entries, in case of multiple matches an attempt is
made to perform the operation on any candidate target, with the
constraint that at most one must succeed. This directive can
also be used when processing targets to mark a specific target
as default.
dncache-ttl {forever|disabled|<ttl>}
This directive sets the time-to-live of the DN cache. This
caches the target that holds a given DN to speed up target
selection in case multiple targets would result from an uncached
search; forever means cache never expires; disabled means no DN
caching; otherwise a valid ( > 0 ) ttl in seconds is required.
TARGET SPECIFICATION
Target specification starts with a "uri" directive:
uri <protocol>://[<host>[:<port>]]/<naming context>
The "server" directive that was allowed in the LDAP backend
(although deprecated) has been discarded in the Meta backend.
The <protocol> part can be anything ldap_initialize(3) accepts
({ldap|ldaps|ldapi} and variants); <host> and <port> may be
omitted, defaulting to whatever is set in /etc/ldap.conf. The
<naming context> part is mandatory. It must end with one of the
naming contexts defined for the backend, e.g.:
suffix "dc=foo,dc=com"
uri "ldap://x.foo.com/dc=x,dc=foo,dc=com"
The <naming context> part doesn't need to be unique across the targets;
it may also match one of the values of the "suffix" directive. Multi-
ple URIs may be defined in a single argument. The URIs must be sepa-
rated by TABs (e.g. '\t'), and the additional URIs must have no <naming
context> part. This causes the underlying library to contact the first
server of the list that responds.
default-target [<target>]
The "default-target" directive can also be used during target
specification. With no arguments it marks the current target as
the default. The optional number marks target <target> as the
default one, starting from 1. Target <target> must be defined.
binddn <administrative DN for access control purposes>
This directive, as in the LDAP backend, allows to define the DN
that is used to query the target server for acl checking; it
should have read access on the target server to attributes used
on the proxy for acl checking. There is no risk of giving away
such values; they are only used to check permissions.
bindpw <password for access control purposes>
This directive sets the password for acl checking in conjunction
with the above mentioned "binddn" directive.
rebind-as-user
If this option is given, the client's bind credentials are
remembered for rebinds when chasing referrals.
pseudorootdn <substitute DN in case of rootdn bind>
This directive, if present, sets the DN that will be substituted
to the bind DN if a bind with the backend's "rootdn" succeeds.
The true "rootdn" of the target server ought not be used; an
arbitrary administrative DN should used instead.
pseudorootpw <substitute password in case of rootdn bind>
This directive sets the credential that will be used in case a
bind with the backend's "rootdn" succeeds, and the bind is prop-
agated to the target using the "pseudorootdn" DN.
Note: cleartext credentials must be supplied here; as a consequence,
using the pseudorootdn/pseudorootpw directives is inherently unsafe.
rewrite* ...
The rewrite options are described in the "REWRITING" section.
suffixmassage <virtual naming context> <real naming context>
All the directives starting with "rewrite" refer to the rewrite
engine that has been added to slapd. The "suffixmassage" direc-
tive was introduced in the LDAP backend to allow suffix massag-
ing while proxying. It has been obsoleted by the rewriting
tools. However, both for backward compatibility and for ease of
configuration when simple suffix massage is required, it has
been preserved. It wraps the basic rewriting instructions that
perform suffix massaging. See the "REWRITING" section for a
detailed list of the rewrite rules it implies.
Note: this also fixes a flaw in suffix massaging, which operated on
(case insensitive) DNs instead of normalized DNs, so "dc=foo, dc=com"
would not match "dc=foo,dc=com".
See the "REWRITING" section.
map {attribute|objectclass} [<local name>|*] {<foreign name>|*}
This maps object classes and attributes as in the LDAP backend.
See slapd-ldap(5).
SCENARIOS
A powerful (and in some sense dangerous) rewrite engine has been added
to both the LDAP and Meta backends. While the former can gain limited
beneficial effects from rewriting stuff, the latter can become an amaz-
ingly powerful tool.
Consider a couple of scenarios first.
1) Two directory servers share two levels of naming context; say
"dc=a,dc=foo,dc=com" and "dc=b,dc=foo,dc=com". Then, an unambiguous
Meta database can be configured as:
database meta
suffix "dc=foo,dc=com"
uri "ldap://a.foo.com/dc=a,dc=foo,dc=com"
uri "ldap://b.foo.com/dc=b,dc=foo,dc=com"
Operations directed to a specific target can be easily resolved because
there are no ambiguities. The only operation that may resolve to mul-
tiple targets is a search with base "dc=foo,dc=com" and scope at least
"one", which results in spawning two searches to the targets.
2a) Two directory servers don't share any portion of naming context,
but they'd present as a single DIT [Caveat: uniqueness of (massaged)
entries among the two servers is assumed; integrity checks risk to
incur in excessive overhead and have not been implemented]. Say we
have "dc=bar,dc=org" and "o=Foo,c=US", and we'd like them to appear as
branches of "dc=foo,dc=com", say "dc=a,dc=foo,dc=com" and
"dc=b,dc=foo,dc=com". Then we need to configure our Meta backend as:
database meta
suffix "dc=foo,dc=com"
uri "ldap://a.bar.com/dc=a,dc=foo,dc=com"
suffixmassage "dc=a,dc=foo,dc=com" "dc=bar,dc=org"
uri "ldap://b.foo.com/dc=b,dc=foo,dc=com"
suffixmassage "dc=b,dc=foo,dc=com" "o=Foo,c=US"
Again, operations can be resolved without ambiguity, although some
rewriting is required. Notice that the virtual naming context of each
target is a branch of the database's naming context; it is rewritten
back and forth when operations are performed towards the target
servers. What "back and forth" means will be clarified later.
When a search with base "dc=foo,dc=com" is attempted, if the scope is
"base" it fails with "no such object"; in fact, the common root of the
two targets (prior to massaging) does not exist. If the scope is
"one", both targets are contacted with the base replaced by each tar-
get's base; the scope is derated to "base". In general, a scope "one"
search is honored, and the scope is derated, only when the incoming
base is at most one level lower of a target's naming context (prior to
massaging).
Finally, if the scope is "sub" the incoming base is replaced by each
target's unmassaged naming context, and the scope is not altered.
2b) Consider the above reported scenario with the two servers sharing
the same naming context:
database meta
suffix "dc=foo,dc=com"
uri "ldap://a.bar.com/dc=foo,dc=com"
suffixmassage "dc=foo,dc=com" "dc=bar,dc=org"
uri "ldap://b.foo.com/dc=foo,dc=com"
suffixmassage "dc=foo,dc=com" "o=Foo,c=US"
All the previous considerations hold, except that now there is no way
to unambiguously resolve a DN. In this case, all the operations that
require an unambiguous target selection will fail unless the DN is
already cached or a default target has been set. Practical configura-
tions may result as a combination of all the above scenarios.
ACLs
Note on ACLs: at present you may add whatever ACL rule you desire to to
the Meta (and LDAP) backends. However, the meaning of an ACL on a
proxy may require some considerations. Two philosophies may be consid-
ered:
a) the remote server dictates the permissions; the proxy simply passes
back what it gets from the remote server.
b) the remote server unveils "everything"; the proxy is responsible for
protecting data from unauthorized access.
Of course the latter sounds unreasonable, but it is not. It is possi-
ble to imagine scenarios in which a remote host discloses data that can
be considered "public" inside an intranet, and a proxy that connects it
to the internet may impose additional constraints. To this purpose,
the proxy should be able to comply with all the ACL matching criteria
that the server supports. This has been achieved with regard to all
the criteria supported by slapd except a special subtle case (please
drop me a note if you can find other exceptions: <ando@openldap.org>).
The rule
access to dn="<dn>" attr=<attr>
by dnattr=<dnattr> read
by * none
cannot be matched iff the attribute that is being requested, <attr>, is
NOT <dnattr>, and the attribute that determines membership, <dnattr>,
has not been requested (e.g. in a search)
In fact this ACL is resolved by slapd using the portion of entry it
retrieved from the remote server without requiring any further inter-
vention of the backend, so, if the <dnattr> attribute has not been
fetched, the match cannot be assessed because the attribute is not
present, not because no value matches the requirement!
Note on ACLs and attribute mapping: ACLs are applied to the mapped
attributes; for instance, if the attribute locally known as "foo" is
mapped to "bar" on a remote server, then local ACLs apply to attribute
"foo" and are totally unaware of its remote name. The remote server
will check permissions for "bar", and the local server will possibly
enforce additional restrictions to "foo".
REWRITING
A string is rewritten according to a set of rules, called a `rewrite
context'. The rules are based on Regular Expressions (POSIX regex)
with substring matching; basic variable substitution and map resolution
of substrings is allowed by specific mechanisms detailed in the follow-
ing. The behavior of pattern matching/substitution can be altered by a
set of flags.
The underlying concept is to build a lightweight rewrite module for the
slapd server (initially dedicated to the LDAP backend).
Passes
An incoming string is matched agains a set of rules. Rules are made of
a regex match pattern, a substitution pattern and a set of actions,
described by a set of flags. In case of match a string rewriting is
performed according to the substitution pattern that allows to refer to
substrings matched in the incoming string. The actions, if any, are
finally performed. The substitution pattern allows map resolution of
substrings. A map is a generic object that maps a substitution pattern
to a value. The flags are divided in "Pattern matching Flags" and
"Action Flags"; the former alter the regex match pattern behaviorm
while the latter alter the action that is taken after substitution.
Pattern Matching Flags
`C' honors case in matching (default is case insensitive)
`R' use POSIX Basic Regular Expressions (default is Extended)
`M{n}' allow no more than n recursive passes for a specific rule; does
not alter the max total count of passes, so it can only enforce
a stricter limit for a specific rule.
Action Flags
`:' apply the rule once only (default is recursive)
`@' stop applying rules in case of match; the current rule is still
applied recursively; combine with `:' to apply the current rule
only once and then stop.
`#' stop current operation if the rule matches, and issue an
`unwilling to perform' error.
`G{n}' jump n rules back and forth (watch for loops!). Note that
`G{1}' is implicit in every rule.
`I' ignores errors in rule; this means, in case of error, e.g.
issued by a map, the error is treated as a missed match. The
`unwilling to perform' is not overridden.
`U{n}' uses n as return code if the rule matches; the flag does not
alter the recursive behavior of the rule, so, to have it per-
formed only once, it must be used in combination with `:', e.g.
`:U{16}' returns the value `16' after exactly one execution of
the rule, if the pattern matches. As a consequence, its behav-
ior is equivalent to `@', with the return code set to n; or, in
other words, `@' is equivalent to `U{0}'. By convention, the
freely available codes are above 16 included; the others are
reserved.
The ordering of the flags can be significant. For instance: `IG{2}'
means ignore errors and jump two lines ahead both in case of match and
in case of error, while `G{2}I' means ignore errors, but jump two lines
ahead only in case of match.
More flags (mainly Action Flags) will be added as needed.
Pattern matching:
See regex(7).
Substitution Pattern Syntax:
Everything starting with `%' requires substitution;
the only obvious exception is `%%', which is left as is;
the basic substitution is `%d', where `d' is a digit; 0 means the whole
string, while 1-9 is a submatch, as discussed in regex(7);
a `%' followed by a `{' invokes an advanced substitution. The pattern
is:
`%' `{' [ <op> ] <name> `(' <substitution> `)' `}'
where <name> must be a legal name for the map, i.e.
<name> ::= [a-z][a-z0-9]* (case insensitive)
<op> ::= `>' `|' `&' `&&' `*' `**' `$'
and <substitution> must be a legal substitution pattern, with no limits
on the nesting level.
The operators are:
> sub context invocation; <name> must be a legal, already defined
rewrite context name
| external command invocation; <name> must refer to a legal,
already defined command name (NOT IMPL.)
& variable assignment; <name> defines a variable in the running
operation structure which can be dereferenced later; operator &
assigns a variable in the rewrite context scope; operator &&
assigns a variable that scopes the entire session, e.g. its
value can be derefenced later by other rewrite contexts
* variable dereferencing; <name> must refer to a variable that is
defined and assigned for the running operation; operator *
dereferences a variable scoping the rewrite context; operator **
dereferences a variable scoping the whole session, e.g. the
value is passed across rewrite contexts
$ parameter dereferencing; <name> must refer to an existing param-
eter; the idea is to make some run-time parameters set by the
system available to the rewrite engine, as the client host name,
the bind DN if any, constant parameters initialized at config
time, and so on; no parameter is currently set by either
back-ldap or back-meta, but constant parameters can be defined
in the configuration file by using the rewriteParam directive.
Substitution escaping has been delegated to the `%' symbol, which is
used instead of `\' in string substitution patterns because `\' is
already escaped by slapd's low level parsing routines; as a conse-
quence, regex(7) escaping requires two `\' symbols, e.g. `.*\.foo\.bar'
must be written as `.*\\.foo\\.bar'.
Rewrite context:
A rewrite context is a set of rules which are applied in sequence. The
basic idea is to have an application initialize a rewrite engine (think
of Apache's mod_rewrite ...) with a set of rewrite contexts; when
string rewriting is required, one invokes the appropriate rewrite con-
text with the input string and obtains the newly rewritten one if no
errors occur.
Each basic server operation is associated to a rewrite context; they
are divided in two main groups: client -> server and server -> client
rewriting.
client -> server:
(default) if defined and no specific context
is available
bindDN bind
searchBase search
searchFilter search
searchFilterAttrDN search
compareDN compare
compareAttrDN compare AVA
addDN add
addAttrDN add AVA
modifyDN modify
modifyAttrDN modify AVA
modrDN modrdn
newSuperiorDN modrdn
deleteDN delete
exopPasswdDN passwd exop DN if proxy
server -> client:
searchResult search (only if defined; no default;
acts on DN and DN-syntax attributes
of search results)
searchAttrDN search AVA
matchedDN all ops (only if applicable)
Basic configuration syntax
rewriteEngine { on | off }
If `on', the requested rewriting is performed; if `off', no
rewriting takes place (an easy way to stop rewriting without
altering too much the configuration file).
rewriteContext <context name> [ alias <aliased context name> ]
<Context name> is the name that identifies the context, i.e. the
name used by the application to refer to the set of rules it
contains. It is used also to reference sub contexts in string
rewriting. A context may aliase another one. In this case the
alias context contains no rule, and any reference to it will
result in accessing the aliased one.
rewriteRule <regex match pattern> <substitution pattern> [ <flags> ]
Determines how a string can be rewritten if a pattern is
matched. Examples are reported below.
Additional configuration syntax:
rewriteMap <map type> <map name> [ <map attrs> ]
Allows to define a map that transforms substring rewriting into
something else. The map is referenced inside the substitution
pattern of a rule.
rewriteParam <param name> <param value>
Sets a value with global scope, that can be dereferenced by the
command `%{$paramName}'.
rewriteMaxPasses <number of passes> [<number of passes per rule>]
Sets the maximum number of total rewriting passes that can be
performed in a single rewrite operation (to avoid loops). A
safe default is set to 100; note that reaching this limit is
still treated as a success; recursive invocation of rules is
simply interrupted. The count applies to the rewriting opera-
tion as a whole, not to any single rule; an optional per-rule
limit can be set. This limit is overridden by setting specific
per-rule limits with the `M{n}' flag.
Configuration examples:
# set to `off' to disable rewriting
rewriteEngine on
# the rules the "suffixmassage" directive implies
rewriteEngine on
# all dataflow from client to server referring to DNs
rewriteContext default
rewriteRule "(.*)<virtualnamingcontext>$" "%1<realnamingcontext>" ":"

rewriteContext searchResult
rewriteRule "(.*)<realnamingcontext>$" "%1<virtualnamingcontext>" ":"
rewriteContext searchAttrDN alias searchResult
rewriteContext matchedDN alias searchResult
# Everything defined here goes into the `default' context.
# This rule changes the naming context of anything sent
# to `dc=home,dc=net' to `dc=OpenLDAP, dc=org'
rewriteRule "(.*)dc=home,[ ]?dc=net"
"%1dc=OpenLDAP, dc=org" ":"
# since a pretty/normalized DN does not include spaces
# after rdn separators, e.g. `,', this rule suffices:
rewriteRule "(.*)dc=home,dc=net"
"%1dc=OpenLDAP,dc=org" ":"
# Start a new context (ends input of the previous one).
# This rule adds blanks between DN parts if not present.
rewriteContext addBlanks
rewriteRule "(.*),([^ ].*)" "%1, %2"
# This one eats blanks
rewriteContext eatBlanks
rewriteRule "(.*),[ ](.*)" "%1,%2"
# Here control goes back to the default rewrite
# context; rules are appended to the existing ones.
# anything that gets here is piped into rule `addBlanks'
rewriteContext default
rewriteRule ".*" "%{>addBlanks(%0)}" ":"
# Rewrite the search base according to `default' rules.
rewriteContext searchBase alias default
# Search results with OpenLDAP DN are rewritten back with
# `dc=home,dc=net' naming context, with spaces eaten.
rewriteContext searchResult
rewriteRule "(.*[^ ]?)[ ]?dc=OpenLDAP,[ ]?dc=org"
"%{>eatBlanks(%1)}dc=home,dc=net" ":"
# Bind with email instead of full DN: we first need
# an ldap map that turns attributes into a DN (the
# argument used when invoking the map is appended to
# the URI and acts as the filter portion)
rewriteMap ldap attr2dn "ldap://host/dc=my,dc=org?dn?sub"
# Then we need to detect DN made up of a single email,
# e.g. `mail=someone@example.com'; note that the rule
# in case of match stops rewriting; in case of error,
# it is ignored. In case we are mapping virtual
# to real naming contexts, we also need to rewrite
# regular DNs, because the definition of a bindDn
# rewrite context overrides the default definition.
rewriteContext bindDN
rewriteRule "^mail=[^,]+@[^,]+$" "%{attr2dn(%0)}" ":@I"
# This is a rather sophisticated example. It massages a
# search filter in case who performs the search has
# administrative privileges. First we need to keep
# track of the bind DN of the incoming request, which is
# stored in a variable called `binddn' with session scope,
# and left in place to allow regular binding:
rewriteContext bindDN
rewriteRule ".+" "%{&&binddn(%0)}%0" ":"
# A search filter containing `uid=' is rewritten only
# if an appropriate DN is bound.
# To do this, in the first rule the bound DN is
# dereferenced, while the filter is decomposed in a
# prefix, in the value of the `uid=<arg>' AVA, and
# in a suffix. A tag `<>' is appended to the DN.
# If the DN refers to an entry in the `ou=admin' subtree,
# the filter is rewritten OR-ing the `uid=<arg>' with
# `cn=<arg>'; otherwise it is left as is. This could be
# useful, for instance, to allow apache's auth_ldap-1.4
# module to authenticate users with both `uid' and
# `cn', but only if the request comes from a possible
# `cn=Web auth,ou=admin,dc=home,dc=net' user.
rewriteContext searchFilter
rewriteRule "(.*\\()uid=([a-z0-9_]+)(\\).*)"
"%{**binddn}<>%{&prefix(%1)}%{&arg(%2)}%{&suffix(%3)}"
":I"
rewriteRule "[^,]+,ou=admin,dc=home,dc=net"
"%{*prefix}|(uid=%{*arg})(cn=%{*arg})%{*suffix}" ":@I"
rewriteRule ".*<>" "%{*prefix}uid=%{*arg}%{*suffix}" ":"
# This example shows how to strip unwanted DN-valued
# attribute values from a search result; the first rule
# matches DN values below "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com";
# in case of match the rewriting exits successfully.
# The second rule matches everything else and causes
# the value to be rejected.
rewriteContext searchResult
rewriteRule ".*,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" "%0" ":@"
rewriteRule ".*" "" "#"
LDAP Proxy resolution (a possible evolution of slapd-ldap(5)):
In case the rewritten DN is an LDAP URI, the operation is initiated
towards the host[:port] indicated in the uri, if it does not refer to
the local server. E.g.:
rewriteRule '^cn=root,.*' '%0' 'G{3}'
rewriteRule '^cn=[a-l].*' 'ldap://ldap1.my.org/%0' ':@'
rewriteRule '^cn=[m-z].*' 'ldap://ldap2.my.org/%0' ':@'
rewriteRule '.*' 'ldap://ldap3.my.org/%0' ':@'
(Rule 1 is simply there to illustrate the `G{n}' action; it could have
been written:
rewriteRule '^cn=root,.*' 'ldap://ldap3.my.org/%0' ':@'
with the advantage of saving one rewrite pass ...)
PROXY CACHE OVERLAY
The proxy cache overlay allows caching of LDAP search requests
(queries) in a local database. For an incoming query, the proxy cache
determines its corresponding template. If the template was specified as
cacheable using the proxytemplate directive and the request is con-
tained in a cached request, it is answered from the proxy cache. Other-
wise, the search is performed as usual and cacheable search results are
saved in the cache for use in future queries.
A template is defined by a filter string and an index identifying a set
of attributes. The template string for a query can be obtained by
removing assertion values from the RFC 2254 representation of its
search filter. A query belongs to a template if its template string and
set of projected attributes correspond to a cacheable template. Exam-
ples of template strings are (mail=), (|(sn=)(cn=)), (&(sn=)(given-
Name=)).
The following cache specific directives can be used to configure the
proxy cache:
overlay proxycache
This directive adds the proxycache overlay to the current back-
end. The proxycache overlay may be used with any backend but is
intended for use with the ldap and meta backends.
proxycache <database> <max_entries> <numattrsets> <entry_limit>
<cc_period>
The directive enables proxy caching in the current backend and
sets general cache parameters. A <database> backend will be used
internally to maintain the cached entries. The chosen database
will need to be configured as well, as shown below. Cache
replacement is invoked when the cache size grows to
<max_entries> entries and continues till the cache size drops
below this size. <numattrsets> should be equal to the number of
following proxyattrset directives. Queries are cached only if
they correspond to a cacheable template (specified by the prox-
ytemplate directive) and the number of entries returned is less
than <entry_limit>. Consistency check is performed every
<cc_period> duration (specified in secs). In each cycle queries
with expired "time to live(TTL)" are removed. A sample cache
configuration is:
proxycache bdb 10000 1 50 100
proxyattrset <index> <attrs...>
Used to associate a set of attributes <attrs..> with an <index>.
Each attribute set is associated with an integer from 0 to
<numattrsets>-1. These indices are used by the proxytemplate
directive to define cacheable templates.
proxytemplate <template_string> <attrset_index> <ttl>
Specifies a cacheable template and "time to live" (in sec) <ttl>
of queries belonging to the template.
The following adds a template with filter string (&sn=)(givenName=))
and attributes mail, postaladdress, telephonenumber and a TTL of 1
hour.
proxyattrset 0 mail postaladdress telephonenumber
proxytemplate (&(sn=)(givenName=)) 0 3600
Directives for configuring the underlying database must also be given,
as shown here:
directory /var/tmp/cache
cachesize 100
Any valid directives for the chosen database type may be used.
