Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: OpenLDAP for OS/2 & eComStation updated to v2.3.17

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: paulDESPAM at DESPAMsmedley.info

Now available from http://smedley.info/os2ports.html

I tried (and failed dismally!) to find a succinct description of what 
OpenLDAP is and does, but some information on LDAP is available from 
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/3.html

 From the readme.os2 file:
Openldap v2.3.17 compiled for OS/2 & eComStation with Innotek GCC 
v3.3.5 GA version.

Requires libc06.dll from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip

**This has only had very limited testing so all feedback to 
paulDESPAM at DESPAMsmedley.info is appreciated**

Note: Under unix, symbolic links of slapd are made in ./sbin to create 
the various slapd utilities (ie slapadd, slapcat, slapdn, slapindex, 
slappasswd, slaptest, slapauth, slapacl).  As we don't have symbolic 
links, I haven't included the slapd utilities, but have included a 
script 'makeutils.cmd' in \openldap to make the necessary copies of 
slapd.exe with the appropriate names.

Known issues:
- only supported database type in slapd.conf is ldbm - bdb will not work.
- slapd utils in .\openldap\sbin are large - future release is planned 
to use a dll to reduce package size
- no threading support due to lack of full pthreads implementation for 
libc.

Sample configuration:
A sample slapd.conf and example.ldif file to create an LDAP database 
are included in the ./examples directory

Extensive (although not necessarily easy to understand!!!) 
documentation is available online at http://www.openldap.org.

To create a database, modify slapd.conf and example.ldif to suit your 
organisation.

To load the data in example.ldif into a database, run slapadd -l 
example.ldif  No output means the data has been correctly imported.

Then run slapd, and try a search using ldapsearch - ie ldapsearch -L 
-b "o=smedley, dc=info" "(sn=smedley)" - which will show all entried 
with sn=smedley
