+The OpenLDAP configuration
+
+  Since version 2.4.23-3 the configuration of OpenLDAP has been changed to
+  /etc/ldap/slapd.d. The OpenLDAP packages in Debian provide an automatic
+  migration to the new configuration style. With the new configuration style
+  it is possible to change values on the fly without restarting slapd.
+  Changes are made through the use of ldif files and ldap{add,modify}. In
+  Debian you can use the following command to search the configuration:
+
+      ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b "cn=config"
+
+  To modify configuration use the command:
+
+      ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f <file.ldif>
+
+  For configuration options see the several manpages that exist or the
+  documentation provided upstream.
