LDIF Connection Handler
The LDIF Connection Handler is used to process changes in the server using internal operations, where the changes to process are read from an LDIF file.
The connection handler periodically looks for the existence of a new file, processes the changes contained in that file as internal operations, and writes the result to an output file with comments indicating the result of the processing. NOTE: By default LDIF Connection Handler operations are not logged because they are internal operations. If you want to log these operations, allow internal logging in the access log publisher.
Parent
The LDIF Connection Handler object inherits from Connection Handler.

| Basic Properties | Advanced Properties |
|---|---|
allowed-client |
allowed-client
Synopsis |
A set of clients who will be allowed to establish connections to this Connection Handler. |
Description |
Valid values include a host name, a fully qualified domain name, a domain name, an IP address, or a subnetwork with subnetwork mask. Specifying a value for this property in a connection handler will override any value set in the global configuration. |
Default value |
All clients with addresses that do not match an address on the deny list are allowed. If there is no deny list, then all clients are allowed. |
Allowed values |
An IP address mask. |

denied-client
Synopsis |
A set of clients who are not allowed to establish connections to this Connection Handler. |
Description |
Valid values include a host name, a fully qualified domain name, a domain name, an IP address, or a subnetwork with subnetwork mask. If both allowed and denied client masks are defined and a client connection matches one or more masks in both lists, then the connection is denied. If only a denied list is specified, then any client not matching a mask in that list is allowed. Specifying a value for this property in a connection handler will override any value set in the global configuration. |
Default value |
If an allow list is specified, then only clients with addresses on the allow list are allowed. Otherwise, all clients are allowed. |
Allowed values |
An IP address mask. |
