Hi,

I'm unable to set up a back-perl backend directly in cn=config mode. However, if I set it up in slapd.conf mode, and then convert it to cn=config mode, it works fine. It's not convenient, because I have to set all my perl backends up before converting to cn=config.

Here's the ldif file I'm using to set up a back-perl backend in cn=config mode (it's inspired from the files I get by converting slapd.conf into cn=config with slaptest)

# Load dynamic backend modules dn: cn=module,cn=config objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module olcModulepath: /usr/local/libexec/openldap olcModuleload: back_perl.la

# Database settings dn: olcDatabase=perl,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcDbPerlConfig olcDatabase: perl olcSuffix: dc=mydomain,dc=org olcAddContentAcl: FALSE olcLastMod: TRUE olcMaxDerefDepth: 15 olcReadOnly: FALSE olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=org olcRootPW:: c2VjcmV0 olcSyncUseSubentry: FALSE olcMonitoring: FALSE olcPerlModulePath: /usr/local/etc/openldap/perl olcPerlModule: SampleLDAP olcPerlFilterSearchResults: FALSE

And here's what I get when I try to load the file: ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f perl-backend.ldif SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 adding new entry "cn=module,cn=config" adding new entry "olcDatabase=perl,cn=config" ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

After that, if I start OpenLDAP I get a segmentation fault: root@ldap:/tmp# /usr/local/libexec/slapd -u openldap -g openldap -h "ldap:/// ldapi:///" -d 16383 .... 51585496 perl backend db init Segmentation fault

Like I said, if I set back-perl up in slapd.conf mode and then convert it to cn=config, everything works fine.

Something must be wrong with my LDIF file, but what ??? It seems to be the same as the one generated by slaptest when converting from slapd.conf mode.
