I'm investigating using dynamic configuration (cn=config or slapd.d system- whichever term you like) for an ldap service, but as far as I could see there is no way to change the setting on the fly through the ldap itself: is this correct? Is it dynamic in that you can adjust the config manually correcting the ldif files in the slapd.d directory knowing that the ldap server will pick up the changes immediately? Or is there a way that an ldap client (ldapmodify, luma, diradm, whatever) can access the config and change it that way? Thanks in advance for humouring my dementia... :)
