Show openldap config

There are two main methods that I know of and for both you have to be logged in as root. First:

• slapcat -b cn=config

Slapd does not even have to be running. This command will dump the entire configuration, but you can also filter its output:

• slapcat -b cn=config -a cn=config

This will show only the root object. However:

• slapcat -b cn=config -a "(|(cn=config)(olcDatabase={1}hdb))"

This will show both the root object and the hdb database definition.

Second method:

• ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config

Again, you can also filter the output:

• ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config cn=config
• ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config "(|(cn=config)(olcDatabase={1}hdb))"
