Created attachment 182399 [details] Diff file for the section "28.5. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)" of the handbook Section "28.5. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)" of the handbook contains several errors (typos, wrong steps) and needs also to be updated: the use of a file slapd.ldif is recommended now, replacing the deprecated slapd.conf. 1) The first part of the guide has been expanded, corrected and improved; 2) the second part of the guide has been completely rewritten, providing a working example of the slapd.ldif file and all the necessary steps for the server configuration. The text has been improved after the useful suggestions in: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10600 Then, for the composition, formatting and further improvements, the primer has been followed: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/index.html A diff file generated as $ svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x -U999999 network-servers/chapter.xml > 28-5_LDAP.diff is attached.
A commit references this bug: Author: bcr Date: Thu Dec 20 21:54:05 UTC 2018 New revision: 52704 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/52704 Log: Rewrite the LDAP server section of the handbook. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) section of the handbook contains several errors (typos, wrong steps) and was in need of updates to reflect current versions of the software. Rocky Hotas provided a patch for review that fixes many of those bugs and extends the instructions in the first part. The second part received a complete rewrite, providing working example configuration files and steps to get the server running. I made only a few cleanups and corrections to the patch to fit our documentation guidelines. Most of the work was done by the submitter, big thanks for his work and patience!
