Hi,

we are using the "historical" configuration but we do not use the CLI/UI tools 
to make the changes. Our installation and configuration automated process uses 
ldapmodify with .ldif to configure all the necessary plugins and parameters.

Our config :
cn=PAM Pass Through Auth,cn=plugins,cn=config
...
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
nsslapd-pluginloadglobal: true
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-type: database
pamMissingSuffix: ALLOW
pamExcludeSuffix: cn=config
pamIDMapMethod: ENTRY
pamIDAttr: uid
pamFallback: TRUE
pamSecure: TRUE
pamService: ldapserver

But it's absolutely not a problem if you change it to "child entry only" 
configuration placement, we will just need to change several lines of 
installation scripts.

Thanks for the heads up!
