Hi dear list members.

I need to create the following ldap-tree

#### dc=example dc=customers-ext,dc=example dc=MetaOrgTree01,dc=customers-ext,dc=example dc=MetaOrgTree02,dc=customers-ext,dc=example ... dc=MetaOrgTree0n dc=customers,dc=example dc=MetaOrgTree01,dc=customers,dc=example dc=MetaOrgTree02,dc=customers,dc=example ... dc=MetaOrgTree0n dc=appuser,dc=example # < this is a mdb uid=bindUser ###############

I was able to create the base setup with the following commands.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/BDB/lib /opt/local/openldap-2.4.41/sbin/slapadd -F /opt/local/conf/openldap/ldap.example.at/ -l ldifs/initial_ldap.example.at.ldif -n0

/opt/local/openldap-2.4.41/libexec/slapd -l local5 -F /opt/local/conf/openldap/ldap.example.at/ -h "ldap://0.0.0.0:10689 ldapi://%2fvar%2fopt%2fopenldap%2frun%2fslapd-ldap.sock"

/opt/local/openldap-2.4.41/bin/ldapmodify -D 'cn=config' -w <PASSWORD> -H ldapi://%2fvar%2fopt%2fopenldap%2frun%2fslapd-ldap.sock -v -f meta-ldifs/MetaOrgTree01_meta.ldif

and now I'm not able to create the dc tree ( add_and_build_root_dc_tree.ldif )

/opt/local/openldap-2.4.41/bin/ldapmodify -D 'cn=config' -w <PASSWORD> -H ldapi://%2fvar%2fopt%2fopenldap%2frun%2fslapd-ldap.sock -v -f add_and_build_root_dc_tree.ldif ldap_initialize( ldapi://%2fvar%2fopt%2fopenldap%2frun%2fslapd-ldap.sock/??base ) add objectClass: top dcObject organization add o: example add description: MyOrg add dc: parent adding new entry "dc=example" ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53) additional info: no global superior knowledge ##################

When I create a "olcDatabase=mdb,cn=config"

with

olcSuffix: dc=example

I'm able to create everything but when I try to add another meta target in the db suffix I get the message following message

adding new entry "olcDatabase={5}meta,cn=config" ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) additional info: <olcSuffix> namingContext "dc=MetaOrgTree02,dc=customers,dc=example" already served by a preceding mdb database

Which is clear as the doc say this.

http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapd-meta&sektion=5&...

######### These slapd.conf options apply to the META backend database. That is, they must follow a "database meta" line and come before any subsequent "backend" or "database" lines. #########

But how was expected to add another meta entry in a running and working system?

Please can anyone help me to find a working solution.

The used ldifs: http://download.none.at/initial_ldap.example.at.ldif http://download.none.at/MetaOrgTree01_meta.ldif http://download.none.at/add_and_build_root_dc_tree.ldif

I hope I have explained the setup and the question understandable. Maybe I think not ldap-isch enough

Thanks everybody for help.
