Hello Support,
We are trying to deploy Openldap proxy from the available package from the openldap site version 2.6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 8.7 ootpa. We are aware that Red Hat enterprise 8.7 support openldap clients however, installing openldap-server is not supported. We are referring to the support tech link https://computingforgeeks.com/install-configure-openldap-server-centos/ to deploy openldap 2.6.4 however, when the deployment installation is completed following steps we are unable to start slapd service as slapd.d file is missing can we get some guidance on this please?
Download site - https://www.openldap.org/software/download/OpenLDAP/openldap-release/
Install Procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#login as root user sudo su -

#restart once update is completed. sudo reboot
#install the required dependencies sudo dnf install wget vim cyrus-sasl-devel libtool-ltdl-devel openssl-devel libdb-devel make libtool autoconf tar gcc perl perl-devel -y
#create a non-privileged system user for OpenLDAP. sudo useradd -r -M -d /var/lib/openldap -u 55 -s /usr/sbin/nologin svcldapusr
#Download the openldap tgz file from site https://www.openldap.org/software/download/OpenLDAP/openldap-release/ Transfer the file via Winscp and extract tar xzf openldap-$VER.tgz
#Install OpenLDAP on RHEL 8 sudo mv openldap-$VER /opt

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-debug --with-tls=openssl --with-cyrus-sasl --enable-dynamic --enable-crypt --enable-spasswd --enable-slapd --enable-modules --enable-rlookups
#Upon successful compilation, you should see an output that says: "Please run "make depend" to build dependencies" #Run make depend to build OpenLDAP dependencies. sudo make depend #Compile OpenLDAP. sudo make #Install OpenLDAP on RHEL 8: sudo make install
#A successful installation creates configuration files at /etc/openldap. The following files are available after installation:
$ ls /etc/openldap certs ldap.conf ldap.conf.default schema slapd.conf slapd.conf.defaul

I would strongly advise you use pre-built binaries from either Symas or the LTB project, that are properly packaged in RPM format:
https://ltb-project.org/download.html
If you require actual support, you probably want to go with the Symas option, as their company also has paid support plans. You've provided no real actionable items to assist you with beyond that.
