Christian this worked. The weird thing is that it encrypted it in base64. My access lists did the same thing. Really strange.

Thanks again. Eric Speake Web Systems Administrator O'Reilly Auto Parts

Hi,

On Thu, 3 Oct 2013, Christian Kratzer wrote: <snipp/>

try following:

dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcLogLevel olcLogLevel: 0

I also like to use symbolic names so I keep following file floating around:

dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcLogLevel olcLogLevel: Conns olcLogLevel: Stats olcLogLevel: Stats2 olcLogLevel: Sync #olcLogLevel: filter #olcLogLevel: config #olcLogLevel: ACL #olcLogLevel: parse

you should be able to use just following to clear logging:

dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcLogLevel olcLogLevel: none

Greetings Christian

Howard,

This is actually a format that I have use on other ldif's and they work. I did follow you advice on the slapd.conf and got pas the errors and hit another snag to discover that after following instructions on createing a build and installing with no errors that openLdap still wsa showing as installed. So I have started going back over those instructions from the install file as well as the 2.4 admin documentation that is out of date. The slapd.conf man pages on the server don't even list mdb as an attribute for the database. So reading documentation that has not been updated isn't always that helpful.

This is my first go at openLDAP and I am sorry that I might waste some of your time, but the last book that written on this software that I can find was written 7 years when some of the now deprecated features were just in the planning stages.

Thank you for our help. Eric Speake Web Systems Administrator O'Reilly Auto Parts

Here is the contents of configlog.ldif

You seem to have continual difficulty understanding that whitespace is significant. Please read the ldif(5) manpage more carefully. Judging from your other lengthy email thread, you also need to read slapd.conf(5) more carefully.

dn: cn=config changetype: modify

delete: olcLogLEvel

add: olcLogLevel olcLogLevel: 0

I run the following commend:

ldapmodify -Wx -D "uid=admin,dc=oreillyauto,dc=com" -H ldap://tntest-ldap-1.oreillyauto.com -c -f /tmp/configlog.ldif

the output shows:

Enter LDAP Password: modifying entry "cn=config"

Except the loglevel cn=config does not change. The modifyTimeStamp and entryCSN change to match the server. I have a 3 node MMR cluster on 2.4.31. I am working on a build to go to 2.4.36, but in the mean time I need to get this working.

Thanks, Eric Speake Web Systems Administrator O'Reilly Auto Parts
