OpenLDAP : Where is directory stored on hard disk
 

Hello,

I'm relatively new to LDAP and I was curious as to where directories are stored on the hard disk. I've searched pretty thoroughly through where I thought it might be, like in /etc/ldap/, /var/run, and I've done several greps wherein I looked for patterns such as those found in the directory itself. The only thing that turned up on those greps were .ldif files I already knew about.

I've done some searching on Google as well, as well as other forums and the man pages, doesn't seem to be a common question (either that or I passed up something along the way).

My OS is linux mint, so it's based off of Ubuntu if that helps anyone. So far I've mostly been looking for plain-text data, so I think that might be my mistake (could it be encrypted?).

Anyway, thanks in advance for any ideas anyone might have. If there are questions to any other info that might be helpful feel free to ask, I'll try to respond as soon as feasible.

Hi again,

I guess you mean the directory where the ldap databases are stored. If that's the case, you should run:

Lol thanks again for the help, Bathory! It's truly appreciated. Works like a charm, and for those of you who were wondering, it was shoved in /var/lib/ldap.
