RE: Invalid rootDN on OpenLDAP for z/OS

["Rozonkiewiecz, Mitchell P" <Mitchell.Rozonkiewiecz@ca.com>]

It sounds like the schema files are not being included so the dc and cn attrs are not defined.  Check to see that the relative path is correct.

I don't think an empty suffix causes a problem, because with the OpenLDAP
we build for windows it works without problems.
Anyway when we set a suffix like "dc=msys, dc=com" , we get a similar
problem:

>slapd -f slapd.conf -t -d -1
 init: initiated .
reading config file
line 0 (pidfile      /u/star/tools/openldap/bin/slapd.pid)
line 0 (argsfile     /u/star/tools/openldap/bin/slapd.args)
line 0 (database    ldbm)
line 0 (suffix      "dc=msys, dc=com")
>>> dnPrettyNormal: <>
=> ldap_bv2dn(Î4&Î5¬,84)
<= ldap_bv2dn(,0)=2
: line 477790252: suffix DN is invalid
config check failed
 shutdown: freeing system resources.
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

The directory db exists and has rwx for anyone, so that should be no
problem. We also tried using absolute paths in the config file without an
effect.
We think this problem occures because of the EBCDIC encoding on the host,
but without a suffix and a root dn the config check succeeded and slapd can
be started.

are relative pathnames such a good idea?

put a proper suffix in here

> rootdn      "cn=manager"
> rootpw      secret
> directory   ../db

what are the permissions on this directory, does it exist?
