Attempting to convert OpenLDAP v2.0.27-11 configured for gdbm to OpenLDAP
v2.2.26 configured for bdb.
I have successfully compiled OpenLDAP v2.2.26 and all its prerequisites
(Berkeley v4.3.28, etc)
Actually, BDB 4.2.52 + patches is the recommended version of BDB to use
with OpenLDAP. BDB 4.3 has proved unreliable in some cases.
I used slapcat on the 2.0.27 server to get a backup of the ldap gdbm
database.
I run the following command on the 2.2.26 server and get the following
error:
/usr/local/sbin/slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.schemacheck-off -l
/home/ldap-backup/Jul11-0345 slapadd: could not add entry
dn="ou=gtis,ou=van1,ou=pac,o=pwgsc" (line=8): txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST:
Key/data pair already exists (-30996)
This means that this entry occurs twice in your LDIF file. You likely want
to fix this. Note that you can run slapadd with the "-c" option to skip
past all errors, so you can generate a list of all the errors you are
seeing before you go and fix your LDIF file.
Also, running with schema checking off is a *very very very* bad idea.
