What is the minimum level of BDB required to support OpenLDAP > 2.4.11? As you know, the change log for 2.4.12 says it added support for BDB 4.7.x and removed pre-BDB 4.4 which is very helpful. Should this be read as >= 4.4 is acceptable? Looking through the docs, changes and FAQomatic, I cannot find a definitive list of acceptable/required levels (which could include, OpenSSL, GnuTLS, SASL, etc). I was wondering if that list is somewhere I simply can't find. :-) I'm running BDB 4.6.x with 2.4 and it seems fine for the tests I've done. I'd be happy to contribute to the docs as I am sure the OpenLDAP team is swamped with other work. :-)
Hi Bill,Did you read the README file shipped with OpenLDAP? I believe it addresses your questions.
