Since openldap did away with slapd.conf, where do I place information such as suffix "dc=your-domain,dc=com"? With the new slapd.d and DIT structures, rather than just one slad.conf file...I do not know where to place the fundmental information such as "dc=your-domain,dc=com".



I am new and I don't want to go with the slapd.conf method and migrate the info, since slapd.conf is going away I want to learn the new method. I checked the openldap site and the way they explain it I don't fully understand for what I simiply want to do. I am using Centos and I am building a new(no migration) ldap server only to use authentaction for logging with PAM user accounts and passwords.

Hi,

You might take a look at this howto

Note that you can still use old slapd.conf configuration instead of the new slapd.d. In fact when slapd is starting it looks for a slapd.d directoy. If it doesn't find it, it uses slapd.conf. If you like, you can after configuring your openldap server this way, to convert slapd configuration to the cn=config DIT (i.e. use the slapd.d directory) using the instructions here

Regards
