Dear list,
I am using Suse 10.1 with openldap2-2.3.19-18. I am very much confused to see the two ldap.conf file in my system
one is located at /etc/ldap.conf and the other is at /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Which file should I modify to get the effect ? thanks.

This one is most likely for pam_ldap and nss_ldap
and the other is at /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
This one is most likely for openldap libraries.

You don't say what effect you want ...

Provided that both are installed by RPM packages one could find out by using
rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Ciao, Michael.

Thanks for the command,
rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf shows ----> pwdutils-3.0.7.1-17 and rpm -qf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf shows ----> openldap2-client-2.3.19-18
what does all this mean ?
thanks
Ciao, Michael.

That you can configure pam_ldap differently than OpenLDAP command-line utilities. Technically the packages were compiled with different 'configure --sysconfdir' parameter. The SuSE people could tell you exactly what they had in mind.
Ciao, Michael.

Thanks a lot Buchan for your response. Regarding effect, which file should I edit for certificate; TLS; security etc and which file for LDAP port; hostname ?
thanks once again

It depends if you want to do this for generic LDAP commands (ldapsearch, ldapmodify etc.) or other application which don't override specific configurations (e.g. Evolution) - in which case you must make the changes in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf , or if this is specific to nss_ldap and pam_ldap - in which case you must make the changes in /etc/ldap.conf.
Please consult the relevant documentation ('man ldap.conf', 'man pam_ldap', 'man nss_ldap' - if they are available on your system).
Please note that discussion of nss_ldap/pam_ldap is largely off-topic on this list (as there are lists specifically for these).
Regards, Buchan

Both, but they're for different things. Concentrate on /etc/openldap/ldap.conf for the while; the only certificate thing you should probably have in it, is TLS_CACERT with the path to your CA cert.
