Hello,

	I'm migrating from an old openldap 2.3.30 to a 2.4.21 running in an
ubuntu server, so I'm new with cn=config database.

I could configure the server without providing the password for
cn=config (I want to restrict the IPs from that user could be used).

	Could anybody help me?

Add access controls to the database, allowing your existing user accounts
write access to cn=config.

	I have write access to cn=config. In fact, I'm using the rootdn

The config database is for configuration, not for data (e.g. users).

I know it. I just want to create a user for configuration and automation (of configuration) purposes. I'm trying to configure slapd from a configuration system like puppet, so I need a user for ldap operations (instead of this I could configure slapd managing files directly, but I prefer ldap commands). Because of I want to make configuration previous to the creation of databases, I would like that user to be directly in cn=config database.
