Re: ldap backend

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the ldap backend with the following scenario:
one slapd instance which already works properly using syncrepl is
listening on localhost port 10389.

A second slapd instance using the ldap backend using this config:

modulepath      /usr/lib/openldap/modules
moduleload    back_ldap.la
# moduleload    back_meta.la
# moduleload    back_monitor.la
# moduleload    back_perl.la

loglevel -1

database        ldap
suffix          "o=My Test,c=de"
uri             "ldap://localhost:10389/";
binddn          "cn=replica,o=My Test,c=de"
bindpw          "secret"
lastmod         off

The problem is that i get the following error message:
Dec  7 16:09:48 server1 slapd[24458]: /etc/openldap/slapd-ldap.conf: line
11: suffix DN is invalid
Dec  7 16:09:48 server1 slapd[24458]: slapd shutdown: freeing system
resources.
Dec  7 16:09:48 server1 slapd[24458]: slapd stopped.

I also tried suffixes without spaces, doesn't matter.

How can I find out what's wrong here?



From the line number in the error message, it appears that the above is your entire slapd.conf, not just a portion of it. Did you load the schema files containing the definitions of "o" and "c"? You will need as much schema as you can (e.g. the same as of the remote host) otherwise the unknown attributeTypes and objectClasses will be (more or less silently) dropped by the ldap backend.
