OpenLDAP: investigate slapd-config
Description: Investigate and test slapd-config with a view to using it for our slapd configuration
Deliverables: Report initially. Following on, slapd configuration supplied by slapd-config
Customer: All
Case statement: For some time now, the recommended configuration for OpenLDAP has been
to provide slapd configuration using
slapd-config (i.e. storing
the configuration in ldap itself), rather than in slapd.conf. The
real difficulty with this may be incorporating it into LCFG. Support
for slapd.conf is scheduled to be dropped in openldap 2.5.
Status:
Timescales:
Priority:
Time: Probably 2-4 weeks
Proposal:
Resources: openldap knowledge
Plan: Initial plan (to be expanded)
- Initial investigation into slapd-config (outside of LCFG)
- Investigate adding support for slapd-config to lcfg-openldap
- Test
- Implement
Dependencies:
Risks: if openldap is unreliable, machines break.
