It varies on the system or OS one is using.2.4.12 implementation looks at a few of these paths

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/ldap.conf /ldaprc ./ldaprc

any where you place will be good to go.

Dear friends,

looking to where we could specify config file path to be read by ldapsearch.c to /openldap/ldap.conf

will be trying to pass the query to ldapclient and obtain the result. should we write program starting from ldap_open , ldap_init, ldap_bind , ldap_search or its suffice only by modifying ldapsearch.c.
