Hi Guys, I'm creating an ldap server for my network. I'm quite confuse about /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf files. What are the difference of those two config files?

What are the > difference of those two config files? Thanks!---- /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is for the openldap client applications such as ldapsearch, ldapmodify, etc. /etc/ldap.conf is for basically everything else (supplied not by openldap but rather as part of nss-ldap packages) # rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf nss_ldap-226-17 openldap-2.2.13-6.4E Craig
I tried to start the ldap server: service ldap start and it says ok..but when i tried to look at the messages logs this shows: Mar 11 07:48:16 main slaptest: sql_select option missing Mar 11 07:48:16 main slaptest: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Mar 11 07:48:16 main ldap: succeeded Mar 11 07:48:16 main slapd[9183]: sql_select option missing Mar 11 07:48:16 main slapd[9183]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Mar 11 07:48:16 main ldap: slapd startup succeeded What does this mean? kintaro oe <kintaro0e_benkyo at yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Guys, I'm creating an ldap server for my network.

Are you trying to use something other than BDB database? Craig

/etc/ldap.conf is for various ldap tools to get defaults or other configuration. I think /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is either ignored or only used by the server, but I'm nowhere that I can actually verify it at this point..

I don't entirely agree with everything ESR says about the > topic, but it's a heck of a good start:-)Well, I don't agree 100% of anything from anyone, unless my wife is in the room! I don't think there's a human on the planet that agrees 100% with anyone. ESR does make a lot of sense in how to ask questions, and I do my best to follow those guidelines, and honestly, following his thoughts has rarely gotten me into any hotwater on any list. Thanks!
