Slightly different take at RALPP.
We've added the externals repo from the BDII_top to our BDII_site glite repo file and installed openldap2.4 from there.
Then we just need to edit /etc/sysconfig/bdii to change:
SLAPD=/usr/sbin/slapd
to
SLAPD=/usr/sbin/slapd2.4
Seems to work for us except YAIM resets the SLAPD line when it's run and I'm having trouble working out where yaim gets its value from top fix it.
Yours,
Chris.
