<para><parameter>--libexecdir=/usr/sbin</parameter>: Installs the server
executables in <filename class="directory">/usr/sbin</filename> instead of
<filename class="directory">/usr/libexec</filename>.</para>
<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: Sets the configuration file
directory to avoid the default of
<filename class="directory">/usr/etc</filename>.</para>
<para><parameter>--localstatedir=/srv/ldap</parameter>: Sets the directory
to use for the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> directory database, replication logs and
run-time variable data.</para>
<para><parameter>--enable-ldbm</parameter>: Build <command>slapd</command>
with the primary database back end using either
<application>Berkeley DB</application> or
<application><acronym>GNU</acronym> Database Manager</application>.</para>
<para><parameter>--disable-debug</parameter>: Disable debugging code.</para>
<para><command>make test</command>: Validates the correct build of the
package. If you've enabled <application>tcp_wrappers</application>, ensure you
add 127.0.0.1 to the <parameter>slapd</parameter> line in the

<sect3><title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>Configuring the <command>slapd</command> and <command>slurpd</command>
servers can be complex. Securing the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> directory,
especially if you are storing non-public data such as password databases,
can also be a challenging task. You'll need to modify the
<filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename> and
<filename>/etc/openldap/ldap.conf</filename> files to set up
<application>Open<acronym>LDAP</acronym></application> for your particular
needs.</para>
<para>Resources to assist you with topics such as choosing a directory
configuration, backend and database definitions, access control settings,
running as a user other than root and setting a <command>chroot</command>
environment include:

<sect3><title>Utilizing <application>GDBM</application></title>
<para>To utilize <application>GDBM</application> as the database
backend, the <quote>database</quote> entry in
<filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename> must be changed from
<quote>bdb</quote> to <quote>ldbm</quote>. You can use both by creating an
additional database section in <filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename>.
</para></sect3>
<sect3><title><application>Mozilla</application> Address Directory</title>
<para>By default, <acronym>LDAP</acronym>v2 support is disabled in the
<filename>slapd.conf</filename> file. Once the database is properly
set up and <application>Mozilla</application> is configured to use the
directory, you must add <option>allow bind_v2</option> to the
<filename>slapd.conf</filename> file.</para></sect3>
<sect3><title>Init Script</title>
<para>To automate the startup of the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> server at system
bootup, install the <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/openldap</filename> init script
included in the <xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package using the
following command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make install-openldap1</command></userinput></screen>
<para><emphasis>Note:</emphasis> The init script you just installed only starts
the <command>slapd</command> daemon. If you wish to also start the
<command>slurpd</command> daemon at system startup, install a modified version
of the script using this command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make install-openldap2</command></userinput></screen>
<note><para>The init script starts the daemons without any parameters. You'll
need to modify the script to include the parameters needed for your specific
configuration. See the <command>slapd</command> and <command>slurpd</command>
man pages for parameter information.</para></note>

<para>Verify access to the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> server with the following
