The LDIF in that section on the website apepars, to my eyes, to be
acceptable, on a piece-wise basis BY THE ldapadd AND/OR ldapmodify
PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN OPENLDAP.
It should be acceptable as an LDIF as input to slapadd.
If it is not, it is buggy by definition.
Remember, we should be able to perform database configuration OFF-LINE.
ie. without slapd running.
And obviously when off-line, slapadd works whereas ldapmodify, ldapadd etc. cannot.
If you cannot figure out how to set up your server to that its cn=config
tree can modified with ldapadd and ldapmodify, then stop playing with
replication and figure that out.
On the contrary.
See above.

Nope, sorry, that's not something that the project documents. It may be
possible in some cases but in general you need to use ldapmodify
No.
The DB on-line configuration case should be supported, of course.
And so should the DB off-line configuration case.
I stand by my assertion that not all the chunks there are valid RFC 2849
LDIF. OpenLDAP's ldapmodify accepts them, but at least this chunk may be
rejected by other tools that comply with the standard and cannot be
considered portable
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 $URI1
olcServerID: 2 $URI2
olcServerID: 3 $URI3
as it lacks the required terminating "-" line.
Yes, because the Section 8.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master" document/code from the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide lacks the terminating "-" after modify (and in several places too), it is not valid LDIF syntax.
So, it is buggy.
So, it should be fixed.
