Hello Support,

 

We are trying to deploy Openldap proxy from the available package from the openldap site version 2.6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 8.7 ootpa.

We are aware that Red Hat enterprise 8.7 support openldap clients however, installing openldap-server is not supported. We are referring to the support tech link

https://computingforgeeks.com/install-configure-openldap-server-centos/ to deploy openldap 2.6.4 however, when the deployment installation is completed following steps we are unable to start

slapd service as slapd.d file is missing can we get some guidance on this please?
