It is different database format, but the principle is the same. Again, as you are modifying config, the DN is ##cn=config##. Use the main password you set for the Synology LDAP server. Create a file ##step1.ldif## with the following content:

Interestingly, it is still the main password you set for the Synology LDAP server.

62 -Next, you create and configure two entries which will be used by the Kerberos servers to connect to OpenLDAP. Not running the Kerberos KDC and Admin Server on the same host as OpenLDAP, these steps are required. Keeping things confined, everything will be created under a separate ##organizationalUnit##. My guide differs from the official Debian guide here. Due to Synology OpenLDAP having a strict password policy, it was necessary to adjust the DNs of ##kdc## and ##kadmin##. The official guide use placeholder passwords which does not work with the Synology LDAP server.
63 -Generate the passwords upfront with ##slappasswd -h {SSHA}##. Then create a file ##step2.ldif## with the following content:

As you will not run the Kerberos KDC and Admin Server on the same host as OpenLDAP, these steps are required. In order to keep things nicely separated, everything will be created under a separate ##organizationalUnit##. I diverge from the official Debian guide here as I do not agree with the DN they use. 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}##.

100 +Synology LDAP server did not like adding users with placeholder passwords, because Synology puts in place password policies. Hence changing this to a ##cn## instead of a ##uid##. It seems to have worked out fine as my KDC is fully functioning.
