> How can I encrypt the root pasword in slapd.conf?
use the 'slappasswd' program.
eg:
slappasswd -c {CRYPT}
password: ****
password: ****
then in slapd.conf enter it the crypted form:
rootpw: {CRYPT}//GHby654ddee
etc. Note that slappasswd will only encrypt passwords using the
algorithms specified during the ./configure
