I know it beats the object of being able to make runtime changes to cn=config, but with lack of readable documentation, and the fact that I'm in test mode only, trying to learn OpenLDAP, this is the way I do it.
Great idea, so let's try to manage it like that... But my critism on the whole thing is, that -it seems- the new config system is cn=config, and it is so poor documented. There are so less howtos and other stuff in the web using cn=config.
So you're unable to read slapd-config(5)? Or the Admin Guide?
When a (hypothetical) document says: "digits" are characters in the range 0-9, e.g. '5' do you really need a HowTo spelling out the rest of the possible values?
One of my problems are to get the replication (n-way multi master with sasl and kerberos auth) working with the new configuration system, but I found none else having a configuration like mine.
