I am setting up a new LDAP server and trying to utilize the cn=config configuration style. While testing it out, I noticed that changes I make to cn=config are getting written to /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/ldif, but changes made to olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config are not getting written to /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config.ldif or anything else.

What could be happening?

Impossible to guess with the info you've provided. What are the changes you tried to make that aren't being saved?
