Hello again,

I am wondering, wether it is possible, to replace/overwrite an item without changing its index number, or wether for this case I do have to manually edit the schema.ldif (and thereby ruin the CRC)?

Assuming I have this example:

olcObjectClasses: {4}( 1.1.1 NAME 'myoc' DESC 'My objectclass' SUP top ABSTRACT MAY ( myAttribute ) ) olcObjectClasses: {5}( 1.1.2 NAME 'myotheroc' DESC 'My other objectclass' SUP myoc STRUCTURAL MUST ( myotherAttribute ) )

So the lower one(5) depends upon the preceeding one (4).

Now I would like to modify the first (4) objectclass definition to f.e. MUST (myAttribute). Using ldapmodify the classical way:

delete: olcObjectClasses olcObjectClasses: (1.1.1....old) - add: olcObjectClasses olcObjectClasses: (1.1.1....new)

does of course not work, as it will get a new, higher index and therefore any subsequential startup of openldap will fail, as our current index 5 has a reference to an objectclass that now however comes later and has an index of f.e. 17.

However, I have not been able to figure out, how to use "replace: olcObjectClasses" to only replace a single instance and keep it in place.

Therefore I am wondering, is there a way to use ldapmodify, or any other tool, to modify entries without changing the index, that in turn of course would break ldif?

Thanks

Ede
