I'm trying to run an OpenLDAP server on CentOS 6.4 with selinux enabled, but slapd is dieing as soon as it's started via /etc/init.d/slapd start. (init script reports OK; everything works fine after setenforce 0.
found these messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log:

How do I tell selinux to allow the LDAP daemon to run?
I tried
restorecon -v -F -R /etc/openldap restorecon -v -F -R /var/lib/ldap but this didn't work (and in fact it seems to have broken my ability to start slapd even with selinux disabled). Got a lot of messages like
restorecon reset /etc/openldap/cacerts context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0
