Hi,
Any ideas how to migrate database from back-bdb to other backend (for example mdb), while using cn=config? When using slapd.conf - flat config file - it seems to be simple task. But how to do it using cn=config? For sure it is not online operation, and any offline modifications to LDIF config files are not recommended.
My sponaneous idea would be to rename the old database (via cn=config), then add a new database (via cn=config), then shutdown slapd, export the old database, modify the LDIF, then import the new database. slapd should start fine. Now if you are satisfied, drop the old database (via cn=config), and you should be done.
I never tried that, but it sounds like a promising procedure...
