This is the version of openldap I use:
# /usr/sbin/slapd -V
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.23 (Aug 8 2012 16:29:21) $
mockbuild@c6b10.bsys.dev.centos.org:/builddir/build/BUILD/openldap-2.4.23
/openldap-2.4.23/build-servers/servers/slapd
I followed an LDAP installation walkthrough for centos 6.3. It did not
mention the slapd.conf. I copied the slapd.conf manually from an
installation directory after some googling. Because I needed to
configure the rootdn and rootpw values. It worked and I assumed it was
OK. But I guess I should configure these values elsewhere and get rid
of slapd.conf?
