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.
Probably OpenLDAP has not been built with static back-mdb but with back-mdb module. You may check with ./slapd -VVV, this will show all built-in modules.
This is the output:
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.40 (Oct 28 2014 06:27:00) $ gerard@scorpio.seibercom.net:/usr/ports/net/openldap24-server/work/openldap-2.4.40/servers/slapd
Included static overlays: syncprov Included static backends: config ldif relay
Remembering that this is a FreeBSD-10 system, what should I do? This is the configuration of the port:
/usr/ports/net/openldap24-server $ make showconfig ===> The following configuration options are available for openldap-server-2.4.40: ACCESSLOG=off: With In-Directory Access Logging overlay ACI=off: Per-object ACI (experimental) AUDITLOG=off: With Audit Logging overlay BDB=on: With BerkeleyDB backend (DEPRECATED) COLLECT=off: With Collect overy Services overlay CONSTRAINT=off: With Attribute Constraint overlay DDS=off: With Dynamic Directory Services overlay DEREF=off: With Dereference overlay DNSSRV=off: With Dnssrv backend DYNACL=off: Run-time loadable ACL (experimental) DYNAMIC_BACKENDS=on: Build dynamic backends DYNGROUP=off: With Dynamic Group overlay DYNLIST=off: With Dynamic List overlay FETCH=off: Enable fetch(3) support GSSAPI=off: With GSSAPI support (implies SASL support) MDB=on: With Memory-Mapped DB backend
^^^^^^^^^This is the important part, back-mdb has been built as module. Include back-mdb into the module load part of your slapd configuraton.
Okay, this is what my slapd.conf file looks like now. It is the one installed by FreeBSD when openldap is installed via its port's system. I removed personal information.
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

# Load dynamic backend modules: modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap moduleload back_bdb # moduleload back_hdb # moduleload back_ldap
moduleload back_mdb.la
What change should I make? I apologize, but I am new at this and could really use some help.
