I was wondering whether it is possible to create an openldap log file as a regular user. <br><br>I have already tried editing syslog.conf with local4.* and restarting syslogd. This works fine, but requires root access and I am interested in enabling ldap logging as a non-root user.<br>
<br>I have compiled openldap 2.3.27 as a regular user on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.2 with the following configuration:<br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">./configure --prefix=/home/myuser/local/ 
--enable-syslog --sysconfdir=/home/myuser/local<br><br>I found some information about a &quot;logfile&quot; directive that can be used in slapd.conf (<a href="http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/#logfile">http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/#logfile</a>), but I do not know if it is valid. <br>
<br>I added the following in my slapd.conf and restarted slapd (I had already created the slapd.log file before restarting slapd):<br> <br></font>#define the logfile<br>logfile /home/myuser/local/openldap/slapd.log<br><br>
#define the level of detail in the logs<br>loglevel 256<br><br>However this configuration does not seem to work.<br><br><br>Any advise on this issue would be more than welcomed.<br><br>Thank you and best regards,<br><br>Kostas<br>
