In OpenLDAP 2.3 you can set whatever identity as the rootdn of the 
config database, including the DN of an entry that is defined in another 
database.  However, only the rootdn of the config database, whatever its 
identity is, can access the config database itself.

In OpnLDAP 2.4, the config database is accessible by regular users based 
on ACLs.
