I have not tried with Alma Linux 8 yet (we are mainly a "Rocky/CentOS/RHEL site")

Did another quick-n-dirty test. Switched 2.6 => 2.5 (did not touch the config and database files from v2.6)


# wget -q https://repo.symas.com/configs/SOLDAP/rhel8/release25.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/soldap-release25.repo
# yum erase symas-openldap-clients symas-openldap-servers (and deps)
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/soldap-release26.repo (disable repo)
# yum install symas-openldap-clients symas-openldap-servers
# systemctl start slapd
# systemctl status slapd


This version is working!

I'm not able to reproduce:

root@ub18:/opt/symas/etc/openldap# ldapmodify -x -H ldap:/// -D cn=config
-w secret
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: syncprov.la

dn: olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
changetype: add
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig
olcOverlay: syncprov
modifying entry "cn=module{0},cn=config"
olcSpCheckpoint: 100 10
olcSpSessionlog: 100

dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcDbIndex
olcDbIndex: entryCSN,entryUUID eq


adding new entry "olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config"

modifying entry "olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config"

Although this is Ubuntu rather than RedHat.

I would suspect that this may be related to the use of RockyLinux.  Do you
encounter the same issue with Alma Linux8?
