slapd.service missing

[Arthur Schiwon]

After upgrading to 15.04 i found that slapd (OpenLDAP) was not started (i have an instance running locally for development purposes). Then, I found that there is no such service available for systemd. I verified with apt-file (apt-file search slapd.service) which brought no results either.

As workaround I could start it using old "service" method.

tijnix on IRC provided me thankfully a systemd service file. I needed to change one thing for me to work, but seems to be good so far. But mind, this is barely tested. The file is attached.

systemd is beeing called from /etc/init.d/slapd --> /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd.

Would be nice to implement a 'pure' systemd solution.

OK, with the file attached above, it does not work after restart and especially would not make slapd start at all. Removed it and use 'service' for now.

"apt-get install slapd" works here on 15.04, it starts slapd:

$ systemctl status slapd
● slapd.service - LSB: OpenLDAP standalone server (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/slapd)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2015-04-22 10:59:45 BST; 7s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
   CGroup: /system.slice/slapd.service
           └─1507 /usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// ldapi:/// -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d

Indeed there's no native unit, but that's fine -- the init.d script should work fine. What does "systemctl status slapd"? say after a fresh boot (and with custom slapd.service removed)?
