Once the option olcAttributeOptions has been configured it cannot be modified.
To reproduce begin with the following state:
#ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config -s base olcAttributeOptions 2>/dev/null dn: cn=config olcAttributeOptions: lang- app-
Create an LDIF file to modify the value for olcAttributeOptions:
# cat /root/olcAttributeOptions.ldif dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcAttributeOptions olcAttributeOptions: lang- app- internal prior role- scope- time-
Use ldapmodify to attempt to modify the configuration:
# ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /root/olcAttributeOptions.ldif SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 modifying entry "cn=config" ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
The slapd process running with -d -1 emits this output:
5c5c2e01 slapd: line 0: option "lang-" is already defined 5c5c2e01 olcAttributeOptions: value #0: <olcAttributeOptions> handler exited with 1!
This behavior happens regardless of whether any directory has records that include options with attributes.
