Hi there,
I'm entering in the OpenLDAP world and I've installed from scratch an 2.4.16. Since version 2.3 the configuration of OpenLDAP are stored has ldif entries but many examples still continues assume that we are working with ldap.conf file. For instance, I'm trying to set up a replication scenario with syncrepl following this tutorial http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch7/#ol-syncrepl but all the examples are based in ldap.conf files.
Since the Zytrax book is just a plagiarized copy of the OpenLDAP docs, you're better off using the actual OpenLDAP docs. Which by the way are already included in the source tarballs, so should already be on your machine. You can read it on the web here if you can't find it on your machine:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Database-specific Directives
My question where do I enter the config settings for syncrepl? In the olcDatabase={1} or bdb, olcDatabase={-1}frontend ? What are the names of the attributes that I must insert to the equivalent to the ldap.conf entries :
syncrepl rid=000 provider=ldap://master-ldap.example.com type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="dc=example,dc=com" attrs="*,+" bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" credentials=dirtysecret
I'm really a bit confused what is the method for configurate LDAP server since this new configuration paradigm cn=config.
All help will be very useful.
Best regards
