Hi,
I'm building OpenLDAP 2.4.39 from source under MinGW. A couple of questions:
a) I added '--enable-slapi' to configure. I got a few compilation errors. Is slapi
Windows ready?
b) I added some contrib modules (e.g. allop, lastbind, etc) and tried to link them
statically. Compilation
and linking worked OK. Then, I type: slapd -VVV and I expect to see those contrib
modules listed under the
overlay section. None of them appear. I added 'overlay allop' to slapd.conf,
but when slapd starts, I get:
5314932d overlay "allop" not found
5314932d ..\etc\openldap\slapd.conf: line 30: <overlay> handler exited
with 1!
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Ciao,
Sergio.

Don't know. If you got compile errors, that would seem to be a No.
In general, supporting Windows is a waste of time. slapd performance on
Windows is 2-3x slower than on Linux for any given hardware. That's all down
to inefficiencies in Windows itself, not to any OpenLDAP-specific code. You'd
have to be a fool to deploy a mission-critical LDAP service on Windows.

Added how? You must do more than simply changing the compile flags. See the
README of e.g. smbk5pwd for an example of the necessary steps.

I have followed the below instructions:
'If you need to build the overlay statically, you will have to move it into the
slapd/overlays directory and edit the Makefile and overlays.c to reference
it. You will also have to define SLAPD_OVER_SMBK5PWD to SLAPD_MOD_STATIC,
and add the relevant libraries to the main slapd link command.'
However, the above instructions don't seem to 'sufficient' to make use of a
contrib module linked statically. What am I missing here?
