You mean like this? http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Configuration%20Example
Now that I know what I was suppose to be looking for, I found a reference to it <http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/backends.html> 11. Backends. The problem is since I did not have any backends that had the ".la" extension, it did not occur to me that I needed to use it.
Nicely stated: "A lot more description about what .la does when it's specified in the openldap config as an extension of the module being loaded would go a long way. And an explanation of why it can be removed after being run once with it present." I'm not sure if "it" refers to "the entire line can be dropped" (seems unlikely) or to "the .la extension can be dropped."
Actually irrelevant. The .la suffix is totally optional and would have no impact on whether the load would succeed or not. In any case Jerry never actually tried "moduleload back_mdb", despite being told to check his module load statements, on 3 separate occasions, including the very first reply to his question.
