Hi Deiter,

Thank you for your reply.

I have managed to get things going with the steps you have provided by
I am unable to bind as cn=config.

How do I set the password for cn=config? I tried rootPW but doesn't
seem to work.

TIA

Hi there, There is this impressive section on the documentation which
explains clearly on the config LDIF structure.  However, i cannot find
any documentation on how to go about using it.  From a fresh install,
how do I go about setting up the configuration using cn=config?  How
do I add new database into cn=config?  How do I modify the attributes
in cn=config?  This is a very good feature but where are the
documentation? Can someone pls shed some light. Thank You.

There is not much documentation yet, except for slapd.conf(5). To set
up cn=config from a fresh installation, depending on your Version,
1. add a database config, with rootdn cn=config and rootpw as first
  instance to slapd.conf
2. create a directory etc/openldap/slapd.d/
3. run ./slapd -h "ldap:///"; <ldap:///%22>; -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -f
  /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

To add settings or change values, point your preferred ldap editor to
suffix cn=config and bind as cn=config

-Dieter
