Hi,

Summary: it seems having a modifiersdn outside of cn=config in cn=config breaks replication once slapd is restarted.

Yeah, using DNs other than the cn=config rootDN is frequently a problem. This is why when cn=config was introduced in 2.3 only the cn=config rootDN was allowed access to the tree.

In this particular case, there's a simpler solution - add schema definitions for the missing RDN attributes directly to the cn=config entry. In your case, move the "ou" definition from the cn=core schema entry.

There's nothing dirty about this solution - it has always been valid to define schema elements in the top-level slapd.conf file as well as in the top cn=config global config entry. The feature doesn't get used much because most 3rd party schemas are distributed as their own files, so it's simpler to just use the include directive to reference them. But for your current situation, you need to define these schema elements as early as possible, so that they can be processed as valid later on.

Thanks for the feedback.

As my sample had modifiersName: cn=Alice,ou=People,dc=test I added definitions for 'ou' and 'dc' to cn=config.

It seems this helps for modifiersNames of entries below cn=config but not for cn=config itself.

I have uploaded following three configs that illustrate the remaining problem:

The original failure with config-1 because of a modifiersName on cn=module{0},cn=config:

[root@test-centos64 test]# slapadd -v -n0 -F config-1 -l config-1-fail.ldif added: "cn=config" (00000001) 51a32d4b str2entry: invalid value for attributeType modifiersName #0 (syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12) slapadd: could not parse entry (line=42) _# 7.41% eta none elapsed none spd 1.5 M/s Closing DB...

Sorry if I do not see the obvious. Is there any possibility to get this to work for cn=config as well as entries below cn=config.

How much freedom would we have to rearrange the entries und cn=config so we could have the schema defintions read before olcGlobal ?
