[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#398657: slapd's sasl looks in /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf for its configuration

[Peter Palfrader]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.27-1
Severity: normal

When slapd is using the sasl authentication backend for simple
authentication (userpassword: {SASL}foo at bar), it looks in
/usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf for the configuration file.

e.g:
| krb:~# cat /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf
| pwcheck_method: saslauthd

With postfix for instance, this file is located in
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf.  It would be nice if slapd could be made
to look in /etc/ldap/sasl/slapd.conf or some place like this.
