Re: How can I limit in-bound connection of rootdn account to a specific ip address range?

Well you could use a {SSHA} hash, or Kerberos, to avoid a clear-text
password in the slapd.conf file.

I am not sure that there is a way to IP restrict the rootdn, since by its
nature it circumvents all ACLs.
