Thank you, Peter!

(I am presuming that's your given name.)

Thank you so much! I find LDAP confusing, and honestly, I've found no reliable HOWTO online.

Your directions were explicit and correct, and I truly appreciate the time you took to answer.

I will now proceed (when the server is less busy) to install Samba4, provision it and get on with my work.

Here's the output showing it was successful:

adam@sogo:/etc/default$ sudo service slapd start
 * Starting OpenLDAP slapd [ OK ]

adam@sogo:/etc/default$ sudo netstat -lnptu | grep slapd
tcp         0      0 0.0.0.0:10389       0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      753/slapd

I had not understood that I could edit a file to set a different port?

All I've seen recommended is 'sudo slapd -h ...' to change the default port.

My 'etc/default/slapd' reads:

adam@sogo:~$ cat /etc/default/slapd
SLAPD_OPTIONS=""
SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE=/etc/ldap/noslapd
SLAPD_SERVICES="ldapi:/// ldap://:10389/";

This is what you need!

SLAPD_PIDFILE=""
SLAPD_USER=openldap
SLAPD_GROUP=openldap
SLAPD_CONF=""

I am presuming I'd add one line at the end to read:

SLAPD_PROVIDER="ldapi:// ldap://localhost:10389";

Then make sure port 10389 is open on the firewall (perhaps the firewall is the problem)

You don't need it.

I tried 'sudo slapd -h "ldapi:// ldap://localhost:10389' to no avail (it didn't work)

Why did you do that?

Forget the 'slapd' binary calling from command line. Do only this following:

1. Stop the slapd service in /etc/init.d or with service command.
2. Modify the command config (above)
3. Start the slapd service
