One of us is clearly doing something wrong. Can you please check if the issue also appears with 2.4.22? I can't rebuild 2.4.21 right now, and since 2.4.22 works for me, it would be pointless to track any issue that was fixed since 2.4.21.

p.

See the error when I try to add

I could load it without any problem. LDIF:

command:

ldapadd -x -H ldap://:9011 -D <manager DN> -w <password> -f <LDIF file>

using HEAD and re24 (basically, 2.4.22).

I think this ITS should definitely be closed, and you should eventually discuss your issue on the openldap-software mailing list, as there appears to be no software bug.
