I don't get where you're getting this idea from. I've never been required to use ldapi for setting up cn=config. The requirement of using ldapi for cn=config management is something Debian/Ubuntu is doing. Which is why, again, I say this specifically is not something to be documented by the OpenLDAP project as a cn=config requirement.

OK - forget the link to cn=config - that is just what got me interested in ldapi: to start with.

The ldapi: transport seems to be almost undocumented. There is a brief (but useful) mention in ldap.conf(5) but very little elsewhere.

I have found enough hints in the archives to get started, so I will file some suggestions.
