using openldap 2.4.13 (compiled from openldap.org source-package) i have noticed the following, reproducable behaviour when converting a slapd.conf to slapd.d:

if slapd.conf contains serverids with ldap-urls, e.g. in this format:

ServerID 1 "ldap://ldapmaster.local.site:9000" ServerID 2 "ldap://ldapslave.local.site:9000"

the olcserverids in cn=config.ldif always contains some trailing (garbage) characters after the conversion, and are base64 encoded. when i set them manually in cn=config with ldapmodify, they are displayed "clean".

the serverid-lines in slapd.conf are "clean" (they contain no whitespaces / tabs at the end of the line or similar, invisible characters).

i have tested it several times, without using "\ in the string and/or without portnumber. i have tested the conversion with both slaptest and slapd, in virtual and real machines, result was always the same.

Thanks for the report, this is now fixed in HEAD. Note, URLs don't need to be surrounded with quotes. By definition, they are already "safe".
