I am trying to set up openldap to use back-sql and mysql (currently on Fedora 14 with packages openldap-servers-sql-2.4.23-4.fc14.x86_64, openldap-2.4.23-4.fc14.x86_64, openldap-clients-2.4.23-4.fc14.x86_64, openldap-servers-2.4.23-4.fc14.x86_64).

Is it true that to do this openldap must use the old slapd.conf method rather than the newer dynamic configuration method using slapd.d?

Yes.

I can get back-sql working using config from /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, but when I try to create the equivalent config under slapd.d I can't see any where to put the equivalent of dbname, subtree_cond etc., and I see a warning "No dynamic config support for database sql".

This is exactly telling you that back-sql does not support dynamic configuration.

If it *is* true that slapd.conf must be used for back-sql config, can openldap use slapd.conf and slapd.d config at the same time, or must all the openldap config come from slapd.conf?

All configuration must come from slapd.conf.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are there any plans to implement dynamic configuration support for back-sql?

Of course, but no schedule is available, and back-sql has never been a priority. As usual, patches are welcome.
