I believe you can just not create a rootdn (or not define a password for it? Or maybe define a password like {crypt}*NOLOGIN* (or an md5/sha/ssha equivalent) that can't be used (not a valid hash)?), so you effectively disable the rootdn, but create a normal account that has full access to everythi

I have a question about mirror mode, and how it's different from "multimaster". In servers like Sun or Red Hat's directory server, a simplified description of what they term multimaster is that more than one server can accept writes simultaneously, and it will then propogate all changes to other s

That's because ou=SOMETHING,o=SOMETHING and ou=something,o=something are equivalent DNs. In general, that's just plain a bad idea to design a tree where you have dn's that are identical other than case (assuming it's even possible), for the exact case you are running into. But... my guess would
