Hi,

there is way of configuration has been updated in newer version. In that case, you may see slapd.d directory under /etc/openldap folder. You may use *ldapadd* to do the same.

OR

If you are familiar with slapd.conf then you can move slapd.d directory somewhere and copy slapd.conf from /usr/share/openldap-servers directory.

if you will not slapd.conf anywhere, please use rpm -ql openldap-servers

May it will help you :P

Hi,

I am running openldap version 2.4.23 on CentOS 6.5, there is no slapd.conf, according to the document it is deprecated. But when I run slapadd, it got an error.

# slapadd -v -l /root/backup.ldif could not stat config file "/etc/openldap/slapd.conf": No such file or directory (2) slapadd: bad configuration file!

Now I am confused, if the slapd.conf is deprecated why the slapadd sdepends on it? How can I generate the slapd.conf, or copy a template of slpad.conf?

Thank you and appreciate your advice

Hi,

There is no need to copy slapd.d file any more. Nothing, this is the new way of configuration.

for more information please use it..

Thanks Vikas. I copied slapd.conf from /usr/share/openldap-servers, modified it and removed /etc/openldap/slapd.d and run the slapadd -l backup.ldif successfully. Should I mv /etc/openldap/slapd.d back and remove /etc/openldap/slapd.conf before start the slapd service?

Thanks.

Thanks Quanah, that was exactly I was looking for. The problem is, it only works if I copied the whole /etc/openldap/slapd.d from the backup machine to the restore machine.

Would that "slapadd -l backup.ldif" restore the /etc/openldap/slapd.d? If not, it will be certianly fail if restoring backup.ldf to a new machine which has different slapd.d.

Try reading the man page for slapadd. If you do, you will find out about the -F option.
