ldapi:/// syntax not working

[Paul Kölle <pkoelle@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get heimdal working with openldap as backend and run into
some issues with slapi:/// connections.

As the tutorial from PADL suggests one should start the server like:
slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///"; but:

/usr/lib/openldap/slapd -d -1 -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///";
daemon_init: ldapi:/// ldap:///
daemon_init: listen on ldapi:///
daemon_init: listen on ldap:///
daemon_init: 2 listeners to open...
ldap_url_parse_ext(ldapi:///)
daemon: bind(6) failed errno=2 (No such file or directory)
slap_open_listener: failed on ldapi:///
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy


Using "slapd -h ldapi://%2fpath%2fto%2fsocket" everything works as
expected but thats not an option since the ldapi:/// syntax is hardcoded
in hdb-ldap.c in heimdal and it always returns "cannot find ldap server"
when I try to init the realm with kadmin.

Unfortunately I was not able to figure out how the ldapi:/// syntax
translates into a usable socket. Google, the Admin Guide and the
Faq-O-matic yielded no results.

This is openldap 2.2.24 on linux 2.6 and bdb-4.2 with patches.

thanks
 Paul
