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 :
