I am running OpenLDAP on a FreeBSD-10 amd 64 machine. It is installed via the FreeBSD ports system and I compile it on my machine.
I recently wanted to switch from BDB since versions greater than 6 are not acceptable to OpenLDAP. I wanted to use "mdb", but I just cannot seem to get it configured correctly.
I changed the "database bdb" to "database mdb" but when I try to start openLDAP, I get this error:
Starting slapd Unrecognized database type (mdb) Warning: failed to start slapd
I removed the existing database, so it should be starting up with a clean environment, but the problem continues.
This is probably a problem specific to FreeBSD. If any user of FreeBSD has this working, I would love to see how they configured it. Feel free to contact me off list if it is more convenient.
Thanks!
