Of course, but Ryan also mentioned the password policy overlay here and loading overlays in general via cn=config.

Gavin,

Well there are two places that talk about how to convert from slapd.conf to cn=config formats. In the guide and man pages, so that is the best way to do a full conversion and see the end result.

Where would you like to see these added?

Thanks for the feedback as always!

My vote would be section 5.2.2.3 of the Admin Guide. Currently, it has 2 examples of loading modules consisting of libtool libraries, but I would think that it would be good to give an example which, for pedagogical purposes, explained how to instantiate an overlay in cn=config. For example, ppolicy and autogroup:

autogroup is a contrib module. We only document usage of core features in the Admin Guide.

...

dn: olcOverlay=ppolicy,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig
olcOverlay: ppolicy
