OK, it's work, i have a fonctionnal slapd.d/cn=config folder, but i
don't understand why i can't access to openldap with
cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,**dc=fr and good password generated by
My slapd.conf before conversion contain the SSHA password generated by
slappasswd for rootDn :

database bdb
suffix "dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,**dc=fr"
rootpw {SSHA}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I try this : root@xxxxx:/usr/local/etc/**openldap/slapd.d# ldapsearch
-D cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,**dc=fr -W -x 'userName=*'
Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
Bizarre ...
Perhaps i can try to redefine the rootdn, because it disapear with
conversion ?
Do you have an idea about this ?
Thanks,
SR.

Use slapadd. Again, RTFM. Everything you've asked in the past week or
so has been documented in the manpages and the Admin Guide. Read and learn.
Yes right, @rey rtfm, and ask your question again, if you're sure your
point is not in the OpenLDAP manual.
But i'm sure you will find your answer there.

It's not easy to start with zero configuration with cn=config new
openldap administration ..
I create my bd.ldif based on the slapd.ldif example in the
/usr/local/etc/openldap directory.
But how can i insert this ldif with
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f myldiffile.ldif
if i cannot run slapd without configuration ?
How do you start a fresh install of openldap in this case? there is an
option to run slapd without zero configuration?
Thanks a lot,

Everything ? really ... Install from sources with specific init script
installation on debian ? Also, i find nothing about a fresh install
directly with cn=config (without conversion of slapd.conf) into the admin
guide ...
I'm not a junior system administrator, i make a phd in geography /
geomatics, and i have only one week before christmas to create and populate
a new ldap in my laboratory. I try to learn the maximum with google/debian
tutorial and a lot of false tutorial, but actually, and i'm sorry about
that, i have no time to read all the man page, and all the admin guide ...
Thanks you again for the time you take to answer to my question Raffael,
and others.
First, change the subject, your problem has nothing to do with SSL.
And to your root password problem, if you just convert your offline config
to online config, you root password will be the same as before.
Did it worked with the offline configuration?
Or change the olcRootPW manually in the config ldif of your database.
Hum i check  into my config ldif and olcRootPW doesn't appear.

I try to re-add the pasword with slapmodify :

dn: cn=config

SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)
Hum, i don't really understand why i have not access,
i change only password, rootsuffix, and rootdn into the slapd.conf before
conversion ..
I try to add manually the attribute olcRootPw, olcSuffix,olcRootDN
olcSuffix: dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr
olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr
olcRootPW: {SSHA}1dWxkkRtyUJt5fDga0Pn4EAyKQ5RPI4+
I have this error at restart :
Dec 15 10:52:04 claroline slapd[11462]: olcSuffix: value #0: suffix
<DC=parisgeo,DC=cnrs,DC=fr> not allowed in frontend database.
Hum i think it's a good idea to remove all config/data file, restart with a
fresh slapd.conf and retry the conversion ..
