Ok, I think I’m on the path, but still have not reached my destination.
I already have OpenLDAP up and running, but I need to add the memberOf overlay. From what I’ve read, the slapd.conf is being depricated. When I did my install, I never used the slapd.conf file and configured all the options LDIF ldapadds (sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f base.ldif). Would I create a LDIF file with the memberOf configs, and if so, what would that file look like, Or, should I use the slapd.conf and do a “moduleload memberof.la” as a global setting? If I do this, will I overwrite any of my other changes that are not in this file (which may have been configured from the LDIFs)?

I've seen some articles talk about the slapd.conf file; others are talking about an ldif file, etc. Two questions keep coming to my head everytime. I have an Ubuntu box with OpenLDAP installed via apt-get. I need to utilize the memberOf attribute. 1) Based on my installation method (OpenLDAP from apt-get), what is the suggested method to use to obtain the memberOf functionality? 2) Will I need to create an LDIF file for every group I have or create in the future? Is there something I could do in the schema to always include the memberOf in the every user I create for any group? Hi, I think that the example in the docs is clear enough if you think it over :) http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html#Member%20Of%20Configuration -- Best regards, Radek Antoniuk w: www.radek.org.pl
