Re: Best way to merge two local DITs vs empty search base suffix

[Chris Jacobs <Chris.Jacobs@apollogrp.edu>]

Where is it documented how the conf file slapd.conf file is processed?

I've read the documentation, more than once, and still don't know.  I suspect this whole 'order thing' is pretty darn important (outside of access config).

Seriously, please me at it.

Thanks,

You can do this just fine.  I do it in all my installs.  You simply need to
declare them in the right order.  I.e., you must declare monitor, etc
before the empty suffix.
