I'm trying to use mysql external db server for openLDAP db. I just read this README file from openldap github(https://github.com/openldap/openldap/blob/master/servers/slapd/back-sql/rdbm...) But it seems only localhost server can be used. Can anyone tell me how? Thx for the help

Examples in documentation are only examples, nothing more. You can use any valid ODBC configuration but nobody has time to write every possible config value and use case out.
Use your brain and try things yourself.

I would add that back-sql is experimental, unmaintained, and known to have numerous bugs. Additionally SQL is not a good fit as a backend to LDAP and will be significantly slower than using a native database such as back-mdb.
