"The installation process will prompt you for the LDAP directory admin password and confirmation. By default the directory suffix will match the domain name of the server. For example, if the machine's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is ldap.example.com, the default suffix will be dc=example,dc=com. If you require a different suffix, the directory can be reconfigured using dpkg-reconfigure." This is wrong.
