It's not slapd defaulting to that base suffix, that comes from the
debian (and ubuntu) packaging.
If you just started and don't have "real" data in there yet, it's
probably easier to just reconfigure the package with "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure slapd" and answer the questions. This will start
fresh from the new basedn.
thank you too, I didn‘t realize the slapd package skips the configuration with
it‘s own assumptions. I now went with the solution from Quanah and modified the
olcSuffix entry, this worked liked a charme.
If you change olcSuffix by hand like that, you must also either change
the existing content in the database, or drop and recreate the data
yourself with the new suffix. Otherwise, if you just start adding new
content while the stale content is still there, you'll hit
https://bugs.debian.org/546368 on a future upgrade.
dpkg-reconfigure drops and recreates the database for you, so you
wouldn't have to worry about that. (But don't do it if you already have
data in there that you care about!)
