Hello Michael,
Thank you for reading my email and replying to the thread.
I don't believe that you answered my question. I was probably unclear.
Sorry. I will rephrase, as I am still looking for information.
Is there a reason why I should not be able to, or just should not, do the below:
1. change my OpenLDAP server configuration so cn=config can be
successfully authenticated using password.
2. retrieve records from non-config database[s] [over network, for
example giving ldapsearch -D cn=config -W]
AFAICS it's all possible. Basically the client authenticates, maybe the
authc-DN is mapped to an authz-DN depending on the authc mech used, and then
the client is authorized to access different parts of your whole LDAP data.
But you have to dive into those docs I pointed out.
