1:18 p.m.
I am trying to configure an n-way multi master following the tutorial in the
admin guide (18.3.3 in
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html). When trying to
add/modify anything in the cn=config, I get the following error:
atlantis:~/comcast/authentication/ldif $ ldapadd -v -x -W -h 10.252.152.78
-D 'cn=Manager,dc=comcast,dc=com'
ldap_initialize( ldap://10.252.152.78 )
Enter LDAP Password:
dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcServerID: 1
add objectClass:
olcGlobal
add cn:
config
add olcServerID:
1
adding new entry "cn=config"
modify complete
ldap_add: Insufficient access (50)
After looking through the test050 script, I see that this is done using the
slapd Ta instead of a slapadd. I tried doing this, and get this error:
[root@kdc01 scripts]# slapd -Ta
bdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory
/usr/var/openldap-data: (2).
Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=comcast,dc=com".
bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to

slapadd: line 1: database (dc=comcast,dc=com) not configured to hold
"cn=config"
slapadd: line 1: database (dc=comcast,dc=com) not configured to hold

I am using 2.4.15 built from source, with the only config option of changing
the prefix directory. Any ideas on whats going on? Thanks.

You need to specify that you want to use the config db (-n 0) with your
slapadd command.

When using the -n 0¹ option I get the following error:

Hi Mathew,
Are you using slapd.conf or a config directory? Something doesn't seem
quite right at this point with your configuration.

The command I was using did not define a file or a directory, so I assume it
was using my default slapd.conf.
When using slapd¹ in tool mode, does it spawn the slapd server then perform
the command, then kill the server? Meaning, should I have ldap stopped when
using slapd in tool mode?

Ok, to do what you are doing, you need to be using the new cn=config
format, and not slapd.conf
Second, slap* tools are all offline functions. So yes, slapd should not be
running when you use them. (slapcat is the general exception, with some
caveats, read the documentation on it).

I am reading the man page for slapd as well as the admin guide, but I cannot
find anywhere that says how to use a directory vs a .conf file...

Also, you can use the slapdtest command to convert a slapd.conf file to a
cn=config tree.
slaptest -f <conf file> -F <destination directory>
and then remove slapd.conf and just use slapd with the -F option.

Ok I was getting confused with the:
Specifies the slapd configuration directory. The default is
/usr/etc/openldap/slapd.d.
By default I thought it meant you didn¹t not need to specify the -F¹ and
it would use that directory.
