Agreed. I prefer to stick to what is supported without "hacking" too much

I can agree to this but the current symas rpm by default does not follow
this... ( I believe there was a mailing list Q about it recently which was
shut down because "many customers run like this and it's fine" )
of course, the user can easily create the ldap user and make the slapd
service run as ldap.

absolutely

3. Must be able to add new modules/plugins. (probably outside the container
too) For example, we use bind-dyndb-ldap

Cant think of anything else honestly, ldap is pretty light.. hence the name
:D

My only qualm about dockering openldap is the dependency to docker, but
does not hurt to explore it.
Either-way, options are always good to have.

Thanks again for the response.

Best,
Dave
