Thanks, Adam
I was afraid of that, but see what made me think otherwise.
At
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html:
"the slapd(8) runtime configuration in 2.3 (and later) is fully LDAP-enabled
and can be managed using the standard LDAP operations with data in LDIF."
- I have slapd 2.4.9
"but must be converted to the new *slapd-config*(5) format to allow runtime
changes to be saved".
- I did that, but I really don't have the slapd-config man page
in */etc/default/slapd* there were already a coment about the the cn=config
backend
# Default location of the slapd.conf file. If empty, use the compiled-in
# default (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf). If using the cn=config backend to store
# configuration in LDIF, set this variable to the directory containing the
# cn=config data.
SLAPD_CONF=
And, after all, I've already deleted slapd.conf and authentication is being
made with slapd.d/
Please forgive me for insisting. Thanks
Are you sure it can't be a matter of ACL, admin authentication, or something
else?
I'll upgrade to lucid, but it may take a couple of months.
