Hi, I am using Openldap to support multiple client-server environment. The problem we are facing are as under; 1)Why 3 slapd get started when ldap deamon starts. 2)Multiple rootdn with single slapd is not working. 3)In our case at client side slapd process increases by two due to replication from server and hence we need to kill that process for new ldapadd operation. waiting in anticipation.
