Also, W. Brown gave me this hint:
"There can be many sections in the dsrc though, and they can be named differently to
your instances if you want. I wrote most of that code so I can explain further if you
want. But you could do something like:
[localhost]
uri = ldapi://%%2fvar%%2frun%%2fslapd-localhost.socket
[localhost-ldaps]
uri =
ldaps://localhost
"
I have done this (see other entries here) - but after reading this *many, many times* I do
have a question. The suggestion (at least to me) suggests that I'd need multiple
instances ("named differently to your instances if you want") - so that means
I'd have more than one LDAP instance - one that I'd administer locally
([localhost] via ldapi) and one instance ([localhost-ldaps]) that I'd administer via
ldaps. How would I ensure both instances used the same database? I don't want to have
to create more work for myself.
Can anyone offer any clarification of how I might make this configuration work with least
headache?
Thanks in advance
