OK, it's work, i have a fonctionnal slapd.d/cn=config folder, but i don't understand why i can't access to openldap with cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr and good password generated by

My slapd.conf before conversion contain the SSHA password generated by slappasswd for rootDn :
-----

database bdb
suffix "dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr"
rootpw {SSHA}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

----
I try this : root@xxxxx:/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d# ldapsearch -D cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr -W -x 'userName=*'
Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Bizarre ...
Perhaps i can try to redefine the rootdn, because it disapear with conversion ?
Do you have an idea about this ?

Thanks,
SR.

Yes right, @rey rtfm, and ask your question again, if you're sure your point is not in the OpenLDAP manual.
But i'm sure you will find your answer there.

Hi!
It's not easy to start with zero configuration with cn=config new
openldap administration ..
I create my bd.ldif based on the slapd.ldif example in the
/usr/local/etc/openldap directory.
But how can i insert this ldif with

ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f myldiffile.ldif

if i cannot run slapd without configuration ?
How do you start a fresh install of openldap in this case? there is an
option to run slapd without zero configuration?
Thanks a lot,

Use slapadd. Again, RTFM. Everything you've asked in the past week or so has been documented in the manpages and the Admin Guide. Read and learn.

Everything ? really ... Install from sources with specific init script installation on debian ? Also, i find nothing about a fresh install directly with cn=config (without conversion of slapd.conf) into the admin guide ...

I'm not a junior system administrator, i make a phd in geography / geomatics, and i have only one week before christmas to create and populate a new ldap in my laboratory. I try to learn the maximum with google/debian tutorial and a lot of false tutorial, but actually, and i'm sorry about that, i have no time to read all the man page, and all the admin guide ...

Thanks you again for the time you take to answer to my question Raffael, and others.

First, change the subject, your problem has nothing to do with SSL.

And to your root password problem, if you just convert your offline config to online config, you root password will be the same as before.
Did it worked with the offline configuration?
Or change the olcRootPW manually in the config ldif of your database.

Hum i check into my config ldif and olcRootPW doesn't appear.
