With slapd.conf you had to be root on the host to reconfigure slapd. However, with cn=config anyone who can authenticate as rootdn for cn=config can reconfigure slapd.
Is it in anyway possible to set up cn=config, so only root on the host can make changes?
Same as with a "real" backend; don't set a rootpw, and ACL it so that only a suitably-permissioned ldapi:/// listener has write access. Note that this will likely involve some combination of OpenLDAP ACL and OS permissions both.
Having tried an endless number of configurations, I simply cannot get this to work. I have no problem getting this procedure to work in other databases: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/761.html
But limiting cn=config access to ldapi:/// ... no luck.
Do someone have a working example of this?
