I have been struggling to start LDAP server and I am failing miserably at it, from journalctl -xn I it clearly say bad configuration files!, but there are three configuration files, but what is missing/wrong.
I do not have a clue.(Noob QA guy, with little experience in setting up server of any kind, taken this responsibility to test a product which requires kerberos+LDAP setup)
