Zimbra platform leverages powerful OpenLDAP Directory Service as identity basis for Zimbra services.
Two common things that you may want to change from default OpenLDAP slapd configuration:
- change logging location (Zimbra default: /var/log/zimbra.log).
- change slapd log level.
Changing slapd logging location
Requires two changes to (a) way zimbra starts slapd, and (b) syslog config.
1. Edit file: /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap
2. Find following line:
"sudo /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.3.21/libexec/slapd -l LOCAL0 ..."
3. Duplicate the line and comment one line (ie. add "#" to beginning -- to save original version).
4. Modify the non-commented line and remove the "-l LOCAL0" portion.
The default OpenLDAP slapd logging is to syslog facility Local4
5. Now update /etc/syslogd.conf and add following line at bottom:
local4.* /var/log/ldap
6. Restart syslogd and zimbra (zmcontrol stop/start) for your changes to take affect.
Changing slapd log level
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_log_level=<number>
Typical example:
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_log_level=256
Note: '256' will provide insight into connections, operations, and search filters.
