check new logging options in openldap 2.6

davidcoutadeur commented 2 years ago

What's working in 2.5.7 is quite similar to 2.4 logging features:

directive logfile creates a file (this directive was also present in 2.4)
when OpenLDAP runs with -d (debug option, stay attached), then the logs sent to stderr are also sent to the logfile
the main logging system remains syslog

Sources:

Seems there is work for a global refactoring of logging system. Wait and see in 2.6 / 3.0 OpenLDAP version

new 2.6 version relies on logfile directive See ITS#6949 https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6949
