Hello folks,
I think I can use and manage a small LDAP. I can configure it but... with the old slapd.conf method.
I need to configue a new one and it's time for me to understand the OLC configuration way.
Did you have a good tuto (in french?) to help to help me? The official docs are to hard for me.
Not specifically a manual, but if you disassemble the Debian package for OpenLDAP you will see how you bootstrap a cn=config setup from a few binaries and an ldif file (and then you should use the latest version from the OpenLDAP project).
Conceptually everything you see in slapd.conf has a corresponding attribute in cn=config which you set via your ldap client. See this url:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/guide.html
These sections are the same config in slapd.conf and cn=config formats, showing how they map:
12.9.2.4. Example for slapd.conf
12.9.2.5. Example for slapd-config
