Hi,
Our openLDAP is in version 2.3.4, it currently installed on a redhat 32bit. Can this server be migrate into 64bits? I can't find the os requirement for different version of openldap at this moment
thanks

Of course you should upgrade OpenLDAP server itself to 2.4.x (2.4.40 is recommended) and use back-mdb nowadays.
slapcat your database to LDIF file copy LDIF file to new server slapadd to database
See also: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/dbtools.html
There were some subtle differences in ACL processing in 2.4.x. => so of course you should test all this before
Ciao, Michael.

In principle you could slapcat on your present 32bit system and slapadd on a new 64bit system. Although the data output is ldif, there are some changes of operational attributes and attribute values as well as strict schema checking between 2.3 and 2.4 that prevents from migrating without any problems. You should set up a test environment prior to migration.
