No.

OpenLDAP supports a new configuration method. It seems you haven't read any 
documentation about it.

RHEL6 defaults to using this configuration method, but you don't *have* to use 
it.

If at this point you restart slapd, it will just use slapd.conf ...

But this step is supposed to be a one-time conversion, assuming you have a 
'database config' statement, which has a 'rootpw' option, you should be able 
to edit your configuration and have changes applied immediately, without 
restarting slapd, by using e.g. ldapmodify (or any GUI tool) by modifying the 
entries under cn=config.

Please at least read 'man slapd-config' rather than continuing. Either edit 
slapd.conf, and don't use cn=config, or only use cn=config, and never edit 
configuration files.
