Hello,
I'm using openldap-server 2.4.19-15 in a Red Hat 6 box (x86_64), rpm installation. This is the very first time I use ldap and I'm having some issues with the configuration. I read that the slapd.conf file should not be use, instead the slapd.d directory is the new system that is meant to be.
As I don't know how this exactly works, I've been reading and folowing the tutorial in the openldap page. Specifically I read the Administration guide and I copy and adapt the config.ldif file to suit my needs. After a while I manage to run the command: slapadd -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l config.ldif with no problems. I thought that once this was done the slapd should start smoothly, but instead I'm having an slaptest error saying that my configuration FILE is wrong. As the slapd.conf doesn't exists, I don't know where this error comes from. I tried #slaptest -v -d1 -F ../slapd.d/ [......] ldif_back_add: "olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config" oc_check_required entry (olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config), objectClass "olcDatabaseConfig" oc_check_required entry (olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config), objectClass "olcFrontendConfig" oc_check_allowed type "objectClass" oc_check_allowed type "olcDatabase" oc_check_allowed type "olcAddContentAcl" oc_check_allowed type "olcLastMod" oc_check_allowed type "olcMaxDerefDepth" oc_check_allowed type "olcReadOnly" oc_check_allowed type "olcMonitoring" oc_check_allowed type "structuralObjectClass" oc_check_allowed type "entryUUID" oc_check_allowed type "creatorsName" oc_check_allowed type "createTimestamp" oc_check_allowed type "entryCSN" oc_check_allowed type "modifiersName" oc_check_allowed type "modifyTimestamp" ldif_back_add: err: 68 text: send_ldap_result: conn=-1 op=0 p=0 slaptest: bad configuration directory!
Since the directory structure was built by the slapadd command, where is the problem? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't find it ;( Permissions are ok (at the beginning I had issues with the include core.ldif part of my config.ldif, I ended pasting the contents in the config.ldif)
Thanks in advance for your help, hope you can shed some light on this. j
