Hello List,
When I start slapd with the option -d 256 I can see what's happening when there's a connection # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -d 256 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:///
However I would like to have this in a log file and I added these lines to slapd.conf loglevel 256 logfile /var/log/slapd.log But my log file remains empty after I start the server with (without -d 256)
# /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:///
However if I start the server with # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -d 256 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:/// The events display on the screen and in the slapd.log file as well. This behavior surprises me, am I missing something ?
My ldap server version is 2.4.26p0
man slapd(8), read on -d flag, -s flag and -l flag. Furthermore check your syslog configuration, slapd logs to local4 as default.

Hello, Thank you for your answer, I already read the man because asking my question but I will read it again. My question was about logging the events in a file without using syslog. Maybe I misunderstood the documentation and slapd uses syslog only. In that case, what's the utility of this directive "logfile /var/log/slapd.log" in slapd.conf ?
