I'm having trouble getting openldap through its initial setup.
I created a /etc/openldap/slap.conf file with a default rootdn and rootpw, and they didn't seem to take effect. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I found that if there is a config directory at /etc/openldap/slapd.d, it will ignore slapd.conf. I can't figure out how to translate slapd.conf into the (new?) standard of slapd.d because all the examples I can find still use slapd.conf.
Am I better off just deleting (or renaming) slapd.d? Does anybody know the proper format for slapd.d entries?
I might as well spam my own page (where I suggest deleting it) for LDAP.

I don't know of anyone who got it working with that slap.d, nor have I seen any documentation on it--on the other hand, I didn't look very hard. I would almost guarantee it adds no new advantages.
