Hi Michael,

I've also tried to add the "moduleload" and "modulepath" directives at the top of slapd.conf (but after the include schema block). Anyway before any database definition.

I either tried with
moduleload unique

and with
moduleload unique.o

Unfortunately no success.

Might it be that my re-compiling procedure was incorrect ? I described it in my first post.

Or, might it be that the root user is not "blocked" from that unique overlay ?

Thanks for the important support! I've run out of ideas :-/

Make sure the overlay module gets loaded with this configuration directive in
the global section of your slapd.conf:

moduleload unique

The global section consists of all configuration directives *before* your
first database directive.

Ciao, Michael.
