That's a great suggestion, but I don't see anything that looks like a likely replacement for dbname and no mention of the term sql anywhere (for that matter there's not much mention of hdb or bdb either). The output is attached, if the list permits attachments that is...
Many thanks

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up back-sql on Ubuntu using openldap version 2.4.39 that uses slapd.d as its configuration store.
All of the config examples I can find online use slapd.conf. A 2011 email from this mailing list explains that it simply is not possible to use the slapd.d config method to specify a dbname. Is that still the case ?
Read the schema.
ldapsearch -b cn=schema,cn=config -s base [and whatever authentication you need] | grep -i sql
I am trying to add an entry for my mysql database using ldapadd and the following ldif...
# order value not present so entry will be appended
# to current children
dn: olcDatabase=sql,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
olcDatabase: mysql
dbName: ldap
olcSuffix: dc=nodomain
The response I get is...
adding new entry "olcDatabase=sql,cn=config"
ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)
additional info: dbName: attribute type undefinedI tried dbname (no capital N) as well, but I get the same result.
As you may be able to tell, I have a very loose grip on what to do here ! I'd appreciate some guidance. I am confident that I have odbc and the database/user set up as it describes in the manual section on back-sql. My database connection is called "ldap" in odbc.ini.
/etc/odbcinst.ini:
[mysql]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage = 1
/etc/odbc.ini:
[ldap]
Description = MySQL connection to 'test' database
Driver = mysql
Database = ldap
UserName = ldap
Password = ldap
Server = localhost
Port = 3306
Socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
If I need to go back to using slapd.conf, how can I generate one from my slapd.d setup ?
Many thanks
Alan
