Oh the wise and mighty of the openLDAP community,
I have an issue that I have not been able to understand. Partially because I’m an enthusitis, not an expert in the domain. That being said, I've used an openLDAP RPM compiled by one of the fellow *nix admins: http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages - Yes, besides the security reasons I'm desparate enough to try this. I'll eventually use the spec to compile my own RPM.
I'm running CentOS 5.7 x86_64 with the latest packages. I was able to successfully install and configure openLDAP but when I attempt to start it with MIrrorMode, it will not start. I ran slaptest to figure out where it's hanging up on:
[root@ldap1 ~]# slaptest2.4 -f /etc/openldap2.4/slapd.conf /etc/openldap2.4/slapd.conf: line 207: rootDN must be defined before syncrepl may be used slaptest2.4: bad configuration file!
Any suggestions why it continues to complain about rootDN? I have it specified and if slapd is going through the lines, it should have picked up the rootdn before syncrepl. Thoughts?
You have placed these directives in your "database monitor" config, which has no rootdn configured. You probably meant to place them further up in the file, under the "database bdb" config.
Here is my slapd.conf:
