Re: How to set BDB "read-only" before slapcat command ?

take a look in the admin guide.

use online config with slapd.d. you can trigger readonly-mode with a simple ldif on the fly, using the olcReadOnly-Attribute

see: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#cn=config section: 5.2.5.3. olcReadonly { TRUE | FALSE }

man slapd.conf(5), readonly on

Thanks for the info.

So I would need to edit the .conf file and restart the service for this to take effect ?

Is there no "on the fly" solution similar to "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;" for example ?

Thanks.
