It has moved already. You have a choice of either. slapd.conf is planned to be dropped at some point in the future. You will be limited with a 2.3 release however (more at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/appendix-changes.html). > > That created me a problem: i had to add a schema. what i did: i created > a new olcInclude object into cn=config.

ACLs? See http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Access%20Control%20Examples I will be moving these into a new document section very soon. > > could someone shed some light on the evolution process from file-based > config into LDAP-based config? http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Converting%20from%20slapd.conf(8)%20to%20a%20{{B:cn=config}}%20directory%20format Like you've probably been told, "help yourself" to the documentation ;-) > > thanks in advance. > > suomi >
