Re: dn aliases?

<quote who="Ron Parker">

OK, I got past this problem by simply configuring all overlays (required installing application that provided sql.h library):

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-backends --enable-overlays

Started slapd with these warnings:

 ...

config_build_entry: "olcDatabase={2}relay"
WARNING: No dynamic config support for overlay rwm.

Yes, warnings. You can add a DB_CONFIG file later. There's a sample one provided in /etc/openldap (since you prefixed --sysconfdir=/etc)

[root@db workarea]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W

-f example.ldif Enter LDAP Password:

<= entry_decode: str2ad(n): AttributeDescription contains

inappropriate characters <= entry_decode: slap_str2undef_ad(n): AttributeDescription contains inappropriate characters

Can we see your example.ldif

Thanks.
