Hello, openldap-technical@ readers. I backed up cn=config from openldap-2.4.33 and now i try to restore it, but with no success. I made backup copy this way: ldap1# sudo slapcat -b cn=config -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -l config.ldif After this i created new clean VM with opensuse 12.3 and slapd 2.4.33 opensuse# slapadd -u -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -b cn=config -l config.ldif 5187acde str2entry: invalid value for attributeType olcSuffix #0 (syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12) slapadd: could not parse entry (line=3206) _################### 98.19% eta none elapsed none spd 19.9 M/s opensuse# fgrep -n olcSuffix config.ldif 522:olcAttributeTypes: ( OLcfgDbAt:0.10 NAME 'olcSuffix' EQUALITY distinguishedNam 1049: n $ olcSuffix $ olcSubordinate $ olcAccess $ olcAddContentAcl $ olcLastMod $ 3205:olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=ru 3411:olcSuffix: cn=example-log LDIF content around line 3206 is following: 3201: dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config 3202: objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig 3203: objectClass: olcMdbConfig 3204: olcDatabase: {1}mdb 3205: olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=ru 3206: olcAddContentAcl: FALSE Here is trace: 5187b22a <<< dnPrettyNormal: <olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config>, <olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config> 5187b22a >>> dnPretty: <dc=example,dc=ru> 5187b22a str2entry: invalid value for attributeType olcSuffix #0 (syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1. 12) slapadd: could not parse entry (line=3201)
