Re: Configuring OpenLDAP on FreeBSD 6.2 Release, Problems.
Sorry, I am pretty new with LDAP too :) I have no documentation beside the one I found from Googling around. Hi Olivier, There are a few good books about LDAP out there, but most of them are quite old unfortunately. Anyhow, I found that reading LDAP System Administration by Gerald Carter from O'Reilly was a good help in understanding LDAP, deploying OpenLDAP and configuring applications to fetch data from the LDAP directory (i.e. sendmail, replace NIS, PAM, FTP, Apache, DNS, etc). Get more info at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ldapsa/index.html For a more in depth look into LDAP itself, get your hands on Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services by Timothy A. Howes al. from Addison-Wesley. Again, it's rather old, but will still help your understanding of LDAP quite a lot. Check it out on Amazon at http://www.amazon.ca/Understanding-Deploying-LDAP-Directory-Services/dp/0672323168/ref=wl_itt_dp/702-7398595-5616835?ie=UTF8coliid=IDX1KGHZ13UXHcolid=CWBQ1L7F8P6P Next is the Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide document which covers LDAP very well, just don't read the Oracle specific stuff if you're not interested. You can reach this doc for free at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/idmanage.1012/b14082/toc.htm Finally, for a more OpenLDAP centric book, look for OpenLDAP by Example: Practical Exercises in LDAP Directory Deployment by John H. Terpstra Benjamin Coles from Prentice Hall PTR. Contrary to the other books, this one is not yet published (as you can see from http://www.amazon.ca/OpenLDAP-Example-Practical-Exercises-Deployment/dp/0131488732/ref=wl_itt_dp/702-7398595-5616835?ie=UTF8coliid=I1YEUBXAR8YIE3colid=CWBQ1L7F8P6P ;) Seems quite promising.

RE: Configuring OpenLDAP on FreeBSD 6.2 Release, Problems.
The concept of openLDAP and its integration with FreeBSD seems pretty broad and somewhat overwelm, I found a hint link, yet I am looking for a more specific article that would elaborate in depth the aspects of openLDAP and FreeBSD at a corporate level. http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49221 Thank in advance for your help and if see anything relate to this let me/us know.

Get more info at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ldapsa/index.html I really recommend this book. Its initial chapters helped me get openldap up and running just for a couple of hours. Since I am also interested in programming and scripting with ldap I also found helpful Deploying OpenLDAP by Tom Jackiewicz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590594134/105-1483603-1926857. It contains a chapter discussing the LDAP APIs for a couple of languages.

I think it may be a problem there, do you have any how to for that configuration, in case I can double check. Off course besides the info provide at openldap.org. Thanks in advance.

Throw me a bone if you have one. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd rcvar which in this case tells us the control variable is $slapd_enable, so /etc/rc.conf needs to contain slapd_enable=YES As a bonus, if this isn't set but you want to do a one-off start or stop (for example during testing), you can use onestart and onestop: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd onestart I tried following these guidelines and still getting that silly error by syslog which doesn't give a clue of where the mistake is located.
