LDIF Configuration Files - Location

The Directory Server configuration data is automatically output to files in LDIF
format that are located in the following directory:
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config
Thus, if you specified a server identifier of
installation, your configuration LDIF files are all stored under:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/config

Schema Configuration Files - Location

Schema configuration is also stored in LDIF format, and these files are located in
the following directory:
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/schema
