Thanks for the response. What if I disable the alock file generation in the back-bdb initialization? will it affect other functionalities like replication etc.

I have taken the OpenLDAP 2.4.39 and able to work properly but when I do slapcat then it hangs and always complains on alock.

But if I delete alock it works fine.

I have 4.6.21 version of bdb I don't know much about alock file in bdb .

Can you please suggest is it ok to delete alock file for running slapd

and

slapcat ?

If slapd is stopped you can safely remove it. But you don't have to.

You're using 2.4.39. So do yourself a favour and consider migrating to back-mdb to get rid of all the BDB mess.

Ciao, Michael.
