Hi,

I have little experience with managing LDAP servers. Previously with just one 
file slapd.conf it was lot easier to assign a user a role of an admin, just by 
giving access to attrs=...by

With newer version of openldap-servers-2.4.23-26  on RHEL 6.x this is not the 
same, and hope you can help me understand this to assign access to user to be 
able to manage the directory.

So I began giving access to attrs=userPassword
            by self write
            by dn="NEW USER DN ...." write
            by * auth
...similarly I did this for all attributes I wanted this user to manage.

I made the above changes in my slapd.conf, but this does not allow the new user 
to manage the directory, he is just like any other user who can browse but not 
write to it.

What more do I need to do?

Best,
Amit
