Retrieving system information

The ``Monitor DN'' and ``Config DN'' fields prompt for the distinguished name (DN) to be used for the retrieval of monitoring and configuration information, respectively.

The former returns statistics about the threads and connections on the daemon, while the latter returns information about the backend database for the daemon, such as:

• type

• the subtree bases for which the database holds entries

• hosts to which referrals are sent

ldapsearch -s base -b 'Monitor DN' 'objectclass='

(This assumes that access control is set up to give any user access to this information.)
