Full_Name: Andrew Findlay Version: 2.4.40 OS: CentOS 7 URL: Submission from: (NULL) (2001:8b0:8d0:f7e1:a136:6cef:11df:9726) When using cn=config it is sometimes necessary to extract the whole config to an LDIF file, edit it and re-load into an empty directory. Therefore I would expect the null-edit case to work for any system: slapcat -F .../config -n 0 -o ldif-wrap=no % e extracted.ldif rm -rf .../config mkdir .../config slapadd -F .../config -n 0 -l extracted.ldif What I actually get is an error message: slapadd: dn="olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config" (line=250): (64) value of single-valued naming attribute 'olcDatabase' conflicts with value present in entry
