All,

Attempting to backtrack a bit by deleting an overlay using the following (have tried both with & without the escape character with the same error "Invalid DN":

# ldapdelete -W -x -ZZ -D cn=admin,cn=config -v -d 9 "olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config" And receiving the following error: ... read1msg: ld 0xb749c40 0 new referrals read1msg: mark request completed, ld 0xb749c40 msgid 3 request done: ld 0xb749c40 msgid 3 res_errno: 34, res_error: <invalid DN>, res_matched: <> ldap_free_request (origid 3, msgid 3) ldap_parse_result ber_scanf fmt ({iAA) ber: ber_scanf fmt (}) ber: ldap_msgfree ldap_err2string ldap_delete: Invalid DN syntax (34) additional info: invalid DN ldap_free_connection 1 1 ldap_send_unbind ber_flush2: 7 bytes to sd 3 TLS trace: SSL3 alert write:warning:close notify ldap_free_connection: actually freed

Here is a slapcat of that "olcDatabase". # slapcat -s olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcAccess: {0}to * by * none olcAddContentAcl: TRUE olcLastMod: TRUE olcMaxDerefDepth: 15 olcReadOnly: FALSE olcRootDN: cn=admin,cn=config olcRootPW:: _________________________________= olcSyncUseSubentry: FALSE olcMonitoring: FALSE structuralObjectClass: olcDatabaseConfig entryUUID: 4354a8b6-8a36-4804-81f8-14a8550aef74 creatorsName: cn=config createTimestamp: 20131218155313Z entryCSN: 20131218155313.477459Z#000000#000#000000 modifiersName: cn=config modifyTimestamp: 20131218155313Z
