I am trying to set up some ACLs (starting off with a simple userpassword ACL) on a new OpenLdap deployment.

I am trying to get to grips with the new conf.d configuration format - but am struggling. Can anyone direct me to a good resource for this? (The obvious resources are yet to be updated to this new way of working it seems)

To be honest, the first thing I did with my RHEL6 OpenLDAP installation was to revert back to the legacy slapd.conf file-based configuration, since it's much more amendable to things like version control and Puppet. However...

If you're familiar with the legacy configuration mechanism, you can set up your ACLs in a slapd.conf file and then use slaptest to migrate the configuration to cn=config style configuration:

# slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d

That should give you something to start with. The online OpenLDAP documentation already includes lots of documentation about the cn=config dynamic configuration mechanism.
