Hello,

I can't seems to understand how to configure an OpenLDAP 2.0.x server to
provide authentication service for apache web server. The settings for
auth_ldap module of apache looks alright to me, just that I have a hard time
in figuring out the configuration for LDAP server. What are the things to be
set, if I am going to set an ldap server in a local machine, for testing
purpose? I understand that in order to set up the ldap server, I probably
need to configure the files, /etc/ldap.conf,
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf  and /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. And how do I test
whether the ldap configuration is working correctly? Thanks! It will be a
great help if I have some easy to understand documentations as I tried to
look at the one at OpenLDAP website, but the documentation don't really
provide essential information in setting up to provide authentication
service.

Edward
