There are a number of resouces available for deploying openldap on any
platform.  Using Red Hat's packages are really no different, other than some
directory locations will be slightly different (for example, the
configuration information will be in /etc/openldap ).  I would start with
the manuals right on the openldap.org web site, which are stuffed with
information on configuring the server.

As has been pointed out, you might be better off obtaining a newer RPM,
however.  Try getting their latest Rawhide package, which is 2.1.22 .
