Why each option
In the `/etc/smbldap-tools/` directory, the `smbldap_bind.conf` file is specifically designed to store the Distinguished Name (DN) and password for the LDAP manager account used by the `smbldap-tools` suite.
The `smbldap.conf` file contains general configuration settings for `smbldap-tools` like the LDAP server, base DN, and schema details, but typically does not store the sensitive LDAP manager's password directly.
The `ldap.conf` file is usually the system-wide LDAP client configuration file, providing general LDAP client settings, and is not where `smbldap-tools` specifically stores its manager's bind credentials.
The `smbldap_bind.conf` file within `/etc/smbldap-tools/` is specifically used to store the LDAP manager's bind Distinguished Name (DN) and its corresponding password, which `smbldap-tools` uses to authenticate and perform operations against the LDAP directory.
The `slapd.conf` file is the configuration file for the OpenLDAP server itself (`slapd`), defining the server's behavior and backend, and is not related to client-side `smbldap-tools` configuration or manager credentials.
