I have tied in a few things such as openid-ldap and openfire to use my ldap backend for authentication. I am wondering if it is possible to collect error logs for any invalid attempt that a user tries with these various applications. Rather than handling it at the application level, can I get openldap to log these events? If so, can someone point me to a link that explains it?
OpenLDAP logs to local4, thus you may configure syslog to print slapd logs to a particular logfile. Next set a decent loglevel, stats or acl, grep slapd.log for err=49

Thanks for this, it makes sense. Where do I put the loglevel paramter? I don't have a slapd.conf, but I do have /etc/ldap.conf -- but putting it in there doesn't seem to have any effect.
