This slapd.conf option applies to the collect overlay. It should appear after the overlay directive. collectinfo<DN><attrlist> Specify the DN of the ancestor entry and the set of related collective attributes, where attrlist is a comma-separated list of attributes. The DN should be within the naming context of the database.

The collect overlay is used to provide a relatively coarse implementation of RFC 3671 collective attributes. In X.500, a collective attribute is "a user attribute whose values are the same for each member of an entry collection". Collective attributes are added to entries returned by a search operation when the entry is within the scope of the related ancestor. Collective attributes can only be modified when the modification affects the related ancestor.
