I also think the answer should be cn=config https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/guide.html#Configuring%20slapd

Correct answer is: cn=config The slapd-config configuration tree has a very specific structure. The root of the tree is named “cn=config” and contains global configuration settings. from: https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html If you have an obsolete slapd.conf configuration, you can simply convert it into the new cn=config database. from : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenLDAP Tip: The SLAPD (Standalone LDAP Daemon) is a background service (runs as daemon) which is located in /etc/conf.d/slapd By default, OpenLDAP will listen unencrypted on all interfaces. To make it only listen on local IP interfaces, you may edit the environment file read by slapd.service: Start /etc/conf.d/slapd SLAPD_URLS="ldap://127.0.0.1/ ldap://[::1]" SLAPD_OPTIONS= From: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenLDAP

I must correct my answer here ! The object name of the main element is „config“ which means Cn=config but the element which hold the entire configuration is “slaps”. In order words, the service element of LDAP configuration is slapd
