Creating an OpenLdap specific administrator group on LDAP
bm flag

I'am trying to create a simple specific administrator group on my OpenLdap server that is running slapd. There is currently no slapd file, and I have been working with the cn=config format.

I want to create a group with a user in it who can only manage what is in this group or below.

For example:

dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
changetype: modify

olcAccess: to dn.subtree="cn=cry,ou=gr ...

LDAP: Why does slapcat truncate my slapd.log file?
cn flag

I have an OpenLDAP 2.4 server running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Everytime I run

# slapcat -l test.ldif

my slapd.log file gets truncated (i. e. previous log messages are deleted and new ones are written at the beginning of the file).

Actually, the first line of slapd.log shows slapcat's output:

# head /var/log/slapd.log

I am trying to set up a master master replication between two openldap servers. To do so, the first steps make me configure theses two files :

Questions about Debian OpenDLAP configuration
in flag

I have the slapd/stable,now 2.4.57+dfsg-3 amd64 Debian 11 package. I read the official OpenLDAP documentation and Debian article.

But I cannot understand the difference between the multiple configuration files.

I know the best practice is to use the dynamic OLC (OpenLDAP Configuration) method over the legacy slapd.conf static file.

I saw the package ships with 2 other static configuration files, the ...

How to check ldap password storage policy
cn flag

How do I check how passwords are stored in a local running OpenLDAP server? I would prefer some sort of query that will state the used configuration. Alternatively, accessing the stored passwords to see that they are encrypted would also be acceptable. Just checking the config file is not sufficient.

I have listed the users with their passwords using ldapsearch

ldapsearch -x -b ou=people -H ldap://127 ...

I am new to LDAP (currently using OpenLDAP 2.4) and I am struggling to define a ACL entry using slapd that will manage the various Access Levels for entries that are child entries of an OU.

What are the numbers for in these LDAP commands ? ldap(3), slapd(8), slapd.conf(5), slurpd(8)
ru flag

What do the numbers between parentheses stand for in the above commands, found within the LDAP galaxy?

I really cannot find anything out there, neither on the documentation, nor could I find any rationale for such an odd numbering style!
