Hello All,

We are using OpenLDAP 2.4.44 in our project, but facing a  dilemma over the
Berkley DB version.
Which version we should use or it is not required at all now as we have
LMDB.
Moreover Oracle has removed some links for downloading the older Berkley DB
version.

OS : RHEL
cat /etc/redhat\-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

I referred the Online guide, but was not able to conclude.
4.2.4. Database Software

OpenLDAP's *slapd*(8) MDB primary database backend uses the LMDB software
included with the OpenLDAP source. There is no need to download any
additional software to have *MDB* support.

OpenLDAP's *slapd*(8) BDB and HDB deprecated database backends require Oracle
Corporation <http://www.oracle.com/>'s Berkeley DB. If not available at
configure time, you will not be able to build *slapd*(8) with these
deprecated database backends.

Your operating system may provide a supported version of Berkeley DB in the
base system or as an optional software component. If not, you'll have to
obtain and install it yourself. Berkeley DB is available from Oracle
Corporation <http://www.oracle.com/>'s Berkeley DB download page if
required.

There are several versions available from Oracle Corporation
<http://www.oracle.com/>. Berkeley DB version 6.0.20 and later uses a
software license that is incompatible with LDAP technology and should not
be used with OpenLDAP.
