1.Prepare the prequired softwares:
2.After BerkeleyDB is installed. *Make sure * create the runtime links to BerkeleyDB's dynamic link library files by:
1) In EL4, create a new file "BerkeleyDB.conf" in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, add this line to it:
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib, otherwise the later configure procedure will complain "BerkeleyDB version mismatched".
2) run " ldconfig" to load the config
3. To configure openLDAP, using:
1)env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib" ./configure --with-cyrus-sasl --enable-slapd --enable-crypt --with-tls --enable-spasswd --enable-wrappers --prefix=/usr/local/openLDAP
*Note*a. IMPORTANT If you use --disable-cleartext paraments when configure the code, the "test002-populate" later will fail! So better dont use it unless u dont wanna do the tests.
b. The env variables in this command will only be valid for this single process.)
4. make depend
5.make
6.make test
If no errors found during the tests procedure, you can start to configure the openldap now.
The configration file of slapd is located in /usr/local/openLDAP/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
Sightly modifications are required on the configuration file before you can start slapd service, my
slapd.conf is like:

# Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)
# Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates
# Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind

# Sample access control policy:
# Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Other DSEs:
# Allow self write access
# Allow authenticated users read access
# Allow anonymous users to authenticate
# Directives needed to implement policy:
# access to dn.base="" by * read
# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *
# by self write
# by users read
# by anonymous auth
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
