How do I configure slapd(8) to prevent two objects in the database from having the same value in a particular attribute? That is, how do I configure slapd(8) ensure that values of a particular attribute are unique throughout the database?
The server is slapd 2.3.30, on a Debian Linux system (Etch).

I have read the man page on slapo-unique, and have the following in my slapd.conf:
overlay unique unique_base "dc=myorg,dc=edu" unique_attributes maillocaladdress,mail
When I try to start the daemon, I get the following error:
line 140 (overlay unique ) overlay "unique" not found
What am I missing? Do I have to install the overlay from source, or is it something built in?

According to configure in the latest version of OpenLDAP, the only overlay enabled by default is syncprov. Run configure with either the --enable-unique or the --enable-overlays option and the unique overlay (or all overlays) should be available in the consequent build.

It looks like the Debian package include the unique overlay module.
Did you load the unique overlay module in your slapd.conf?:
moduleload unique.la

That was it! I appreciate the guidance from you, and the others who responded. I now have slapd running with no complaints in syslog.

database <whatever> ... overlay unique unique_attributes <attribute...>
See the slapo-unique(5) manpage.
