Re: LDAP cn=config Newbie Question

Hi there,
I'm entering in the OpenLDAP world and I've installed from scratch an
2.4.16. Since version 2.3 the configuration of OpenLDAP are stored has
ldif entries but many examples still continues assume that we are
working with ldap.conf file.
For instance, I'm trying to set up a replication scenario with
syncrepl following this tutorial
http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch7/#ol-syncrepl but all the examples
are based in ldap.conf files.
Since the Zytrax book is just a plagiarized copy of the OpenLDAP docs, you're
better off using the actual OpenLDAP docs. Which by the way are already
included in the source tarballs, so should already be on your machine. You can
read it on the web here if you can't find it on your machine:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Database-specific Directives
My question where do I enter the config
settings for syncrepl? In the olcDatabase={1} or bdb,
olcDatabase={-1}frontend ? What are the names of the attributes that I
must insert to the equivalent to the ldap.conf entries :
syncrepl rid=000
provider=ldap://master-ldap.example.com
type=refreshAndPersist
retry="5 5 300 +"
searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
attrs="*,+"
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
credentials=dirtysecret
I'm really a bit confused what is the method for configurate LDAP
server since this new configuration paradigm cn=config.
All help will be very useful.
Best regards
