Re: slapadd not allowed on first database

Kwasi,

Your openldap version support two methods of configuration:
1) slapd.conf (historical config file)
2) slapd.d (newer config that itself is a 'db' saved in files in the dir structure under slapd.d - never touch those files, use openldap ldif modification tools to manage)

If the slapd.d dir exists, it will be used instead of slapd.conf.

That is considered the first database (by slapadd in this case).

The OpenLDAP Admin guide might be long, and you might be short on time, but you really should read it at least far enough to learn about slapd.d and slapd.conf. It's not a complete how-to - the man pages are considered authoritative - but it does offer explanation and some limited examples. I recommend you find the time to read it, and

Good luck,
- chris

Subject: slapadd not allowed on first database


Hi,

I'm trying to migrate data using openldap migrations tools, however I keep get error below which I don't understand. I don;t even know where ldap is getting the second database from cause I don;t have that defined anywhere slapd.conf has only one database.

Error:
------------------

The first database does not allow slapadd; using the first available one (2)
slapadd: line 1: database #2 (dc=my-domain,dc=com) not configured to hold "dc=4things,dc=co,dc=za"; no database configured for that naming context

slapd.conf :
------------------

Any ideas? I have Googled for almost a week now and I come across nothing...
