Hi tps >@2003.05.14_18:50:00_+0200
i think installing openldap is a bit too complex to do well with debconf have a look at the openldap guide, http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/ slapcat / slapadd and a text editor to create an ldif file should do the job man slapd.conf --8<---------:- snip -:---------8<---------:- snip -:---------8<-- rootdn <dn> Specify the distinguished name that is not subject to access control or administrative limit restrictions for operations on this database. This DN may or may not be associated with an entry. An empty root DN (the default) specifies no root access is to be granted. It is recommended that the rootdn only be specified when needed (such as when initially populating a database). If the rootdn is within a namingContext (suffix) of the database, a simple bind password may also be provided using the rootpw directive. rootpw <password> Specify a password (or hash of the password) for the rootdn. The password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext (suffix) of the database. This option accepts all RFC 2307 userPassword formats known to the server (see password-hash desription) as well as cleartext. slappasswd(8) may be used to generate a hash of a password. Cleartext and {CRYPT} passwords are not recommended. If empty (the default), authentication of the root DN is by other means (e.g. SASL). Use of SASL is encouraged. --8<---------:- snip -:---------8<---------:- snip -:---------8<-- > Guys-n-gals, > I'm trying to build up an LDAP server on a Debian box that had > some base install of LDAP on it, someone mucked about, and then > left the company that hired me.
