How do I rename my base dn due to my domain name change? I'm using the latest openldap run time configuraiton.

A modrdn operation, if you are using back-hdb.

Quanah, if we are talking about changing the base DN referenced by 'suffix' in a database section of slapd.conf I have some doubts that a simple ModRDN request will work:

- the old or the new database suffix is not already there and data across database cannot be moved

- DN references within the data will have to be updated ( e.g. groupOfNames/member)

- And also changing the config is needed whereever the base DN is referenced (ACLs etc.)
