Can you tell me which LDAP browsers do support this scheme? After all, the other part of my message was asking for advice on which was best.
GQ
I am using gq for years. It's an GTK based graphical LDAP Editor. And yes, you may edit cn=config.
Snippet of my ~/.gq <ldapserver> <name>debby-3</name> <ldaphost>debby-3</ldaphost> <ldapport>389</ldapport> <basedn>cn=config</basedn> <binddn>cn=admin,dc=kronprinz,dc=xx</binddn> <pw-encoding>Base64</pw-encoding> <search-attribute>cn</search-attribute> </ldapserver>
I am NOT using ldapi and NOT the directory cn=config, but the file slapd.conf with a config-DB definition: database config rootdn "cn=admin,dc=kronprinz,dc=xx"
This rootdn is the same rootdn as I use in database hdb. So there is no need to specify a password here.
