Hi all, I am trying to get openldap working with a mysql backend. Unfortunately, I always get "ldap_search: No such object" when I try to query. I am not familiar with LDAP and I am trying to get a simple phone directory up and running from a very small existing DB. I can see from my mysql query log that slapd is working with the first entry from the ldap_entries table and then never requesting any subsequent rows. I'm not sure what information will be needed for debugging this, I have start with debug output from slapd taken when running a search.
Many thanks for any assistance, Aaron

Hi Dieter, Thanks for your response. I eventually discovered that I needed a parent object for my phonebook entries. We had the exact same configuration and data setup working on a much older version of openldap. Version 2.3.43 gave "No such object" until I created a parent container object!
I discovered this by moving the dataset into the ldbm backend, which gave me the same "No such object" error, with an additional message complaining that there was no parent. I added the parent container and it started working.
