Hi

I am trying to ldapadd

dn: olcOverlay={2}unique,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify add: olcunique_uri olcunique_uri: ldap:///?uid?sub

but it fails ldap_modify: Undefined attribute type (17) additional info: olcunique_uri: AttributeDescription contains inappropriate characters

The correct AttributeType to use is "olcUniqueUri". "olcunique_uri" apart from not being recognized by the config backend is an illegal LDAP AttributeType as the '_' char is not allowed in AttributeTypes, that is the reason for the error message you got.

Thanks, I defaulted to the add olc before config variables, because in the slapd.conf it unique_uri

thanks

not sure what is going wrong I tried changing to base64 and using ::

Can't seem to find any examples of using unique in cn=config
