linux – slapd config on CentOS

`Is slapd daemon not enabled by default and do we need to create the slapd config file manually ?

I am using CentOS Stream 9.

I installed all the openldap packages but I do not see /etc/openldap/slapd* config files in the path and no slapd service when I check for systemctl status

Outputs :

[root@SouraLinux openldap]# yum install openldap*
