Subject: Issues deploying openldap 2.6.4 Proxy on RHEL 8.7

Hello Support,

We are trying to deploy Openldap proxy from the available package from the 
openldap site version 2.6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 8.7 ootpa.
We are aware that Red Hat enterprise 8.7 support openldap clients however, 
installing openldap-server is not supported. We are referring to the support 
tech link
https://computingforgeeks.com/install-configure-openldap-server-centos/ to 
deploy openldap 2.6.4 however, when the deployment installation is completed 
following steps we are unable to start
slapd service as slapd.d file is missing can we get some guidance on this 
please?
