Re: creating a cn=config modules

I did use ldapadd and the ldap server is RHEL 7.

I have read the documentation and cannot figure out how to create a new dit so I can add the module I need. If you can be more specific on what I should be looking for that would be great. But no where have I found that points how to create the cn=module{0} dit so it can be populated. I don't know maybe I'm asking the wrong questions.

As you correctly noted, ldapadd and ldapmodify are the same command. However, the syntax of an LDAP Add request is different from an LDAP Modify request. As Quanah already pointed out to you, you are trying to use some corrupted form of LDAP Modify syntax, but since the entry you want doesn't exist, you actually need to use LDAP Add.

The differences between these two are spelled out in the LDIF documentation.

from the docs

  5.2.2. cn=module

If support for dynamically loaded modules was enabled when configuring slapd, cn=module entries may be used to specify sets of modules to load. Module entries must have the olcModuleList objectClass.

I don't have a cn=module dit, how do I create it?

but I tried and got the same error

The above is invalid.  I strongly advise you to read the

documentation.

Also, you should not be touching or creating any files inside the
cn=config database.
