title: Ldap configuration and root connection
body: <p>Mac: Open Ldap</p>
  
  <p>I am new to Open LDAP, i google it and found that max OS comes with default open ldap installed.</p>
  
  <p>I followed this tutorial <a href="http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4183" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MAC Ldap tutorial</a></p>
  
  <p>Following is my slapd.conf</p>
  
  <pre><code>#######################################################################
  # BDB database definitions
  #######################################################################
  
  database    bdb
  suffix      "dc=my-domain,dc=com"
  rootdn      "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com"
  # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
  # be avoid.  See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
  # Use of strong authentication encouraged.
  rootpw      {SSHA}xEYpp/gcd4Mmf6j756LX4kBjSyYyZFz8
  # The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND 
  # should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.
  # Mode 700 recommended.
  directory   /private/var/db/openldap/openldap-data
  # Indices to maintain
