Hi everyone,



I'm actually stuck trying to set up an OpenLDAP implementation on my
server running debian/slapd. Based on the hostname of the server
(server.foo.bar) slapd automatically sets up the base config with
dc=foo,dc=bar as BaseDN. This runs fine and I can connect successfully.
However, I actually want the BaseDN for the LDAP structure to rely on the
subdomain ldap.foo.bar (dc=ldap,dc=foo,dc=bar). How can I accomplish this?

If the database is empty, something like (as the root user):

ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:///
dn: olcDatabase={#}mdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcSuffix
olcSuffix: dc=ldap,dc=foo,dc=bar

But you'll need to know the database weight value.
