LDAP configuration with ldapmodify
Hello everybody
At the beginning i would like to apologize for my english and im not sure if this thread is in the right place so if it isn't please move it to other one.
Ok let's start.

I have to admit that i am totally beginner with ldap but i really would like to learn how to configure it. I've just installed package of openldap 2.4 and i faced problem during configuration. There are a lot of tutorial in internet that show how to configure ldap but practically all of them uses text editor like vim to set up server's files. When i wanted edit proper file in this method i saw this: do not edit!!! use ldapmodify. A lot of users ignore it and faced problem with crc so i did't even tried it.

My question is: How to use ldapmodify command to configure ldap server?
I got to know how its syntax looks and followed one tutorial (i cannot paste url) but this doesnt work. I tried set olcRootDN then I typed exactly this command what i found there:
ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// <<EOF but nothing happened. just this sign appeared:
>
How to edit olc directives using ldapmodify?

ldap_cachemgr

ldap_cachemgr(1M)					  System Administration Commands					 ldap_cachemgr(1M)

NAME

       ldap_cachemgr - LDAP daemon to manage client configuration for LDAP based Network Information Service lookups

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr [-l	log-file] [-g]

DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_cachemgr daemon is a process that provides an up-to-date configuration cache for LDAP naming services. It is started during multi-
       user boot.

       The ldap_cachemgr utility provides caching for all parameters as specified and used by the LDAP naming service clients.	The  ldap_cachemgr
       utility	uses  the  cache  files which are originally created by executing the ldapclient(1M) utility, as cold start files.  Updates to the
       cache files take place dynamically if profiles are used to configure the client. See the init option to ldapclient(1M).

       The ldap_cachemgr utility helps improve the performance of the clients that are using LDAP as the Naming service repository.  In order  for
       the  LDAP  naming  services to function	properly, the ldap_cachemgr daemon must be running. ldap_cachemgr also improves system security by
       making the configuration files readable by superuser only.

       The cache maintained by this daemon is shared by all the processes that access LDAP Naming information.	All processes  access  this  cache
       through	a  door call.  On startup, ldap_cachemgr initializes the cache from the cache files. See ldapclient(1M).  Thus, the cache survives
       machine reboots.

       The ldap_cachemgr daemon also acts as its own administration tool.  If an instance of ldap_cachemgr is already running, commands are passed
       transparently to the running version.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -g		       Print current configuration and statistics to standard output. This is the only option executable without superuser
			       privileges.

       -l log-file	       Cause ldap_cachemgr to use a log file other than the default /var/ldap/cachemgr.log.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Stopping and Restarting the ldap_cachemgr Daemon

       The following example shows how to stop and to restart the ldap_cachemgr daemon.

       example# svcadm enable network/ldap/client
       example# svcadm disable network/ldap/client

       Example 2: Forcing ldap_cachemgr to Reread the /var/ldap/ldap_client_file and /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred Files

       The following example shows how to force ldap_cachemgr to reread the /var/ldap/ldap_client_file and /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred files

       example# pkill -HUP ldap_cachemgr

FILES

       /var/ldap/cachemgr.log	       Default log file.

       /var/ldap/ldap_client_file      Files containing the LDAP configuration of the client. These files are not to be modified  manually.  Their
       /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred      content is not guaranteed to be human readable.	Use ldapclient(1M) to update these files.

WARNINGS

       The  ldap_cachemgr  utility  is	included  in  the Solaris 9 release on an uncommitted  basis only. It is subject to change or removal in a
       future minor release.

NOTES

       The ldap_cachemgr service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/ldap/client

       Administrative  actions	on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
