Leif,

I'm using OpenLDAP on Mac OS X.  To figure it all out, I first started
just poking around in various LDAP servers with the ldapsearch utility. 
Then, when it was time to really try it out with Asterisk, I needed to get
my own LDAP server going.  So I just started at page 1 of
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/ reading and trying out the examples. 
Reading every word, and trying every example.

The first glitch came when trying to use ldapadd to add my first entries. 
"Failed to authenticate." After much googling (Google is your friend), I
found that the Mac OS X version is built with "plaintext passwords
verboten", so I determined that the "rootpw" in slapd.conf needed to be
created with slappasswd and entered as {SSHA}hashedpassword as mentioned
for the Asterisk Admin password up in Note 0097430.

Once I started trying to put in Asterisk entries I ran into problems with
the examples at http://www.flyn.org/astldap/ .  These examples are very
helpful, but they don't correspond exactly to reality; see the changes we
made to res_ldap.conf for starters.  I started getting some schema errors. 
There's an option "schemacheck" which needs to be off (Google again helped
me find this, although the comment is "you should really fix your
schema").

When I started thinking that it was now time to start thinking about
access control, I discovered that there was a major change in how
configuration is done beginning with OpenLDAP version 2.3, so I needed to
find out for sure what version is installed on Mac OS X.  No command seemed
to be available to find out, so again, Google to the rescue, where I found
out that "strings slapd | grep \$OpenLDAP" would answer the question.  At
this point I switched to the proper version documentation at
http://www.openldap.org/doc/ and continued.
