Hello - apologies if this is a dumb question, I am an LDAP newbie. I have an LDAP server on another machine and I need to duplicate it, but I am having trouble importing the ldif file.
I do a dump of the LDAP data with this command:
nice slapcat > /home/upadmin/uportal_ldap_backups/`date +%m%d%Y_%H%M`_ldap_backup.ldif
I move the resulting ldif file to my other server and test the import:
slapadd -v -u -c -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l /root/08052009_0647_ldap_backup.ldif
The output seems good - I get:
added: "dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" added: "ou=Users,dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" added: "ou=Groups,dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" added: "ou=System,dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" added: "cn=LDAP Admins,ou=Groups,dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" .#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed none fast!
Then I run the command to do the real import:
slapadd -v -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l /root/08052009_0647_ldap_backup.ldif
And the import hangs on the first record. This is the output I get:
bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable added: "dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" (00000001)
And it just seems to sit there and never finish. Anyone have any idea what is going on or anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
A couple of things:
Do you have a DB_CONFIG file?
Does the progress bar show up?
Does the server you are adding to already have a database?
Have you thought about using the "-q" flag to slapadd?
