I'm currently working on adding support for the config backend to the Ubuntu openldap package (2.4.10). While creating a new configuration, I run into the problem of loading the system schema into /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=schema.ldif. Using the example from the slapd-config man page doesn't work: the system schema isn't created in cn=schema.ldif. Comparing with a slapd.conf conversion, cn=schema.ldif holds the system schema in the latter case.
As documented in the Admin Guide:
5.2.3 cn=schema
The cn=schema entry holds all of the schema definitions that are hard-coded in slapd. As such, the values in this entry are generated by slapd so no schema values need to be provided in the config file. The entry must still be defined though, to serve as a base for the user-defined schema to add in underneath. Schema entries must have the olcSchemaConfig objectClass. <<<
In other words, just make a blank entry. See the example in 5.2.3.3.
I've attache the three ldif files that I'm using to create a new configuration. Here are the steps that I'm following to initialize a new setup:
# mkdir /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ # slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ -n 0 -l slapd.d.init.ldif # slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ -n 0 -l slapd.d.load_hdb_module.ldif # slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ -n 0 -l slapd.d.new-db.ldif slapadd: could not add entry dn="olcDatabase=hdb,cn=config" (line=1): autocreation of "olcDatabase={-1}frontend" failed
