Issue ID: 10312 Summary: olcSubordinate does not accept a 'false' keyword, contrary to documentation Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.9 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: gray@nxg.name Target Milestone: ---

The slapd-config(5) manpage documents the olcSubordinate keyword as

olcSubordinate: [TRUE | FALSE | advertise]

If, however, I try to create a database using

olcSubordinate: false

then slapadd objects with

olcSubordinate: value #0: suffix "ou=foo,o=bar": subordinate must be "TRUE" or "advertise".

(For the sake of completeness, it might be worth noting in the manpage that the (unsurprising) default is for a search of a superior database _not_ to be propagated to the subordinate one – ie, the presumed behaviour of olcSubordinate:false)
