I have Openldap set up on a CentOS 5 system (using the stock 2.3.43 RPMS) and I want to allow users to change their passwords, but I am confused by the documentation (it has both too much and not enough information -- there don't appear to be simple HowTos for common setups).
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html see section 6.3
OK, I have set this up, and with some poking around I have gained a better unterstanding of what is going on. I have another question:
In the sample config it has an access control list that looks like:
access to attrs=userPassword by self write by anonymous auth by dn.base="cn=Admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * none
Where does the password for "cn=Admin,dc=example,dc=com" exist? Is this something a add to slapd.config or insert into the database or ???
Admin password can be mentioned at rootpw in slapd.conf.

I am not sure what to put in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (I think I need an ACL). I expect I need something in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf (or prossibly /etc/ldap.conf) to allow the authorization. This is on a LAN with diskless clients, behind a firewall, so I *probably* don't need to set up SSL and certs (but I am unsure of this as well).
Get your system running first, than you may decide to install transport layer security.
