I apologize in advance if this is not considered as a bug, but I thought this ticket should help the community anyway...

The problem is that it seems impossible to add meta backend in cn=config thanks to ldapadd / ldapmodify clients. I thought the major interest for cn=config was precisely to let administrators change the configuration in a remote way, but maybe new database configuration is an exception ?

Seems we need some rework here to allow this case. Currently bconfig assumes that the olcDatabaseConfig entry is sufficient by itself, and any child entries underneath are just optional. It doesn't handle the case where the olcDatabaseConfig entry is basically an incomplete config.

Should work now in git master, please test.
