All,
Trying to switch to slapd.conf instead of dynamic configuration in order to test the back-sql backend I ran into a problem with SELinux that I do not understand.
The startup fails with the error:
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 27: invalid path: Permission denied
They probably have the wrong labels since you created new directories. So SELinux does what it then should do: block. Did you do a restorecon on the new directories?
# restorecon -v -F -R /etc/openldap # restorecon -v -F -R /var/lib/ldap
The reason that SELinux blocks something should show up as an AVC in /var/log/audit/auditd.log.
Thank you, this of course did the trick.
