Hello Sarati;

 

 I wanted the following thing to work. Like i would like to do a ldapsearch for multiple domains.

At present when i try to slapadd for an entry into the second domain it fails.

ldapadd also seems to fail for the second domain. i have two separate directories for the two domain. /var/lib/ldap and /var/lib/ldap2.

 

Really appreciate your help in this regard

 

####### First Domain ############# 

 

database        bdb

suffix          "dc=openldap,dc=Americas,dc=California,dc=com"

rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=openldap,dc=Americas,dc=California,dc=com"

rootpw          {SSHA}yBt63W8/N8AZLiSIh9VnwuUSVH8snQtW

 

directory       /var/lib/ldap

 

# Indices to maintain for this database

.....

 

#######################################################################

# ldbm and/or bdb database definitions - For second Domain

#######################################################################

 

#database       ldbm

database        bdb

suffix          "dc=openldap2,dc=Americas,dc=California,dc=com"

rootdn          "cn=manager,dc=openldap2,dc=Americas,dc=California,dc=com"

rootpw          {SSHA}yBt63W8/N8AZLiSIh9VnwuUSVH8snQtW

 

# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND

# should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.

 

directory       /var/lib/ldap2/

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

Rama

Please reply to the list.  The example is

suffix ""
