It is different database format, but the principle is the same. Again, as you are modifying config, the DN is ##cn=config##. Interestingly, it is still the main password you set for the Synology LDAP server.

I also had to make changes to the DNs of ##kdc## and ##kadmin## due to ##pwdPolicy## applied by Synology to their LDAP server. The official guide will have you use placeholder passwords and that does not work with the Synology LDAP server. You need to generate them upfront with ##slappasswd -h {SSHA}##.

207 +Worth to note here is that [[user@EXAMPLE.COM>>mailto:user@EXAMPLE.COM]] and [[user/admin@EXAMPLE.COM>>mailto:user/admin@EXAMPLE.COM]] can have (and should have) different passwords as the admin variant is allowed to do things to the kerberos database. And this is why you want to have the registering of failures to login enabled. Should you have the system exposed to the internet, you can and should expect intrusion attempts. Having Kerberos deployed makes it harder for perpetrators to gain access, but not impossible.

209 +If you later kerberise your storage and leverage it for NFS4 mounts from your NAS, you can have NFS exposed to the internet as well. Unless someone has a valid kerberos ticket, even if they somehow could mount the share, they see nothing on it without the krbtgt.
