[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

Executive summary: the plugin "/lib/dirsrv/plugins/libpwdchan-plugin.so"
is missing in
"/gnu/store/rngdj26hcc22iwfllfpxkjyzpkc3mxnn-389-ds-base-2.2.2/"

I'm trying to setup a directory-server-service on Guix System using this
service definition in my operating-system:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(service directory-server-service-type
        (directory-server-instance-configuration
         (slapd
          (slapd-configuration
           (root-password "{PBKDF2_SHA256}AAAgANjxkt+wBF[...]")))))

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm using a PBKDF2_SHA256 sheme password (trimmed above) since AFAIU
it's more secure against brute force attacks; I generated the hash with
this command:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

pwdhash -s PBKDF2_SHA256 <password>

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Please also consider that PBKDF2_SHA256 is the scheme used in the
example configuration of the Guix manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/LDAP-Services.html#index-LDAP_002c-server

After reconfiguring Guix System if I try to start the service I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

g <at> pistache ~$ sudo herd start directory-server-localhost
Password: 
PID file '/run/dirsrv/slapd-localhost.pid' did not show up; terminating process 15747.
Service directory-server-localhost could not be started.
herd: error: failed to start service directory-server-localhost

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is what I get in the log file
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-localhost/errors:
