I suspect the config file was converted to a config dir during the Debian upgrade process, so the file is now being ignored. I also suspect that there may not be a valid password set on the cn=config suffix, so you will not be able to manage the server through LDAP either. One solution is to change the startup process to use the config file (-f option) rather than the config dir (-F option). Once you have a file that does what you want you have the option of converting it to a directory: Move aside the existing config directory /etc/ldap/slapd.d and make a new one with the same ownership and permissions. Start slapd with both the -f and the -F options. If you are going to do this, I suggest adding a rootpw for the config database first. Append this to your slapd.conf file: ######################################################################## database config rootdn "cn=config" rootpw example ######################################################################## You will then be able to do normal LDAP operations on the config: ldapsearch -x -D cn=config -w example -b cn=config '(objectclass=*)' Andrew -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | From Andrew Findlay, Skills 1st Ltd | | Consultant in large-scale systems, networks, and directory services | | http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/ +44 1628 782565 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
