Re: A strange dn

Seems your moderator made a mistake in approving this thread, it likely should have been redirected to the openldap-technical list to begin with. I'm now closing it. -- Your moderator

I'm bringing up openldap, and I have almost everything working except:

The servers have an existing ldap.conf of:
uri ldap://ldap001.example.com ldap://ldap002.example.com
base dc=example,dc=com
binddn uid=server,cn=config
bindpw xxxxxx
ldap_version 3
...etc...

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a user that looks like:
uid=server,cn=config,dc=example,dc=com

I'd prefer not to visit all the servers to change their ldap.conf files,
rather, I'd like to swap out the name service records to point to
openldap. To do this, I need to create the uid=server,cn=config user.

Any suggestions?  Do I have to build up a new schema entry?

Thanks,
