Hi Quanah

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm confused, then, that the official 
openldap.org documentation at https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin26/tls.html 
does NOT suggest use of cn=config. Can someone explain why?

Thanks

slapd.conf is the historic method of configuring OpenLDAP.  General best advise 
these days is to use cn=config.  I would suggest you familiarize yourself with 
how to use cn=config rather than change to using slapd.conf.
