Would you happen to have any documentation on how to implement chaining ?
If you've built from source (Buchan's srpm or whatever) and have a build directory from a successful build, go to $DIR/tests, run './run test032-chain'; when it's done, got to ./testrun and look at both slapd.?.conf; that should give you a basic idea, together with the rest there.
I always get this error
Could not locate slapd(8)
What "always"?
When do you get this error? What are you doing at the time?
I checked the code and this happens because of the following check
if test ! -x /usr/sbin/.3 ; then
However, I broke my own chain slapd config file on the relevant (Samba) slave server and my shell scripts which I use for master updates etc. kept getting referral errors, even with the above configs. I spent "a good time" on this and finally got it working again with the following:
overlay chain chain-uri ldaps://ldap.master/ chain-idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=proxy,dc=school,dc=nl" credentials=Wh4t3v3r mode=self flags=non-prescriptive
I was using digest-md5 SASL binding and ldap with starttls, which I always use for all replication etc., but that was what was breaking chaining - no idea why.
This is OL 2.3.37, BTW.
I'd seriously forget doing *anything whatever* (let alone "High availability") with OpenLDAP until you can get this little thing working.
Best,
