Hi Arnau,

Is see your point, a detail desciption of what to do is not contained in 
the ticket.  It was mentioned in the FAQ but this method is now outdated.

https://tomtools.cern.ch/confluence/display/IS/FAQ

The latest version in the top-level BDII release is 5.1.13-1. This 
should install a file /etc/sysconfig/bdii. Uncomment the two lines
#SLAPD=/usr/sbin/slapd2.4
#BDII_RAM_DISK=yes

Restart the BDII and you will have OpenLDAP 2.4 and a ram disk.
