2013/8/20 Steppacher Ralf <ralf.steppacher@derivativepartners.commailto:ralf.steppacher@derivativepartners.com> And how to use such a bootstrap LDIF? Starting slapd with -f pointing to the LDIF does not work. That is what I have been looking for and could not find. Another thing I have been wandering about: What is the rootDN if it is not set in a bootstrap LDIF like the one below?
Here is a little documentation on how initialize your cn=config from the LDIF :
