RE: ldapi:/// Unix & domain socket usage

["Eric T. Blue" <openldap@star-cs.com>]

Hmmm... this is really strange.  Whenever I was looking at this earlier
today, the path abolutely was /tmp/389.  Now, after  a few reconfigures, the
path is in fact /tmp/.ldapi_sock.

Regarding Ben's reply: Then, is there nothing else special that is required?
Does searching via a URL just provide a layer of abstraction to the client?

Any opinions on IPC over CLDAP?
Thanks!

That seems a bit odd. IIRC, socket should be named /tmp/.ldapi_sock.
