I have a PhD and can't configure openldap

  As I complained in another comment... OpenLDAP configuration is stored in OpenLDAP itself, so you need to know about OpenLDAP in order to start learning about OpenLDAP. It just doesn't make sense and I feel you pain. One great resource I've found about LDAP (in general) is https://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ https://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ ("Ldap for rocket scientists"). I remeber spending a couple of week(end)s going through that, and things started to make sense. However, again, there's no real reason for all this to be so complicated...

    > OpenLDAP configuration is stored in OpenLDAP itself, so you need to know about OpenLDAP in order to start learning about OpenLDAP. And postgres configuration is stored in Postgres, so "you need to know about postgres in order to start learning about postgres"... this is a time-honored database tradition, relational metadata is often itself very relational data and you can often get a huge amount of code reuse by utilizing the same handling mechanisms for the data as the metadata.
