RE: Adding attributes to cn=config

["Borresen, John - 0442 - MITLL" <John.Borresen@ll.mit.edu>]

I tried both ldapmodify and ldapadd (with a couple of different ldifs).  I was trying to "add" an attribute(s) (olcTLSCertificateFile; olcCipherSuite & olcCertificateKeyFile) to the cn=config.  No matter what I tried to do, it either returned the error indicated on the original email or it killed the slapd daemon.

In the past, yes I know it is not the correct way, I had to stop slapd change into the cn=config directory and manually enter what I wanted.  Then restart.

Why are you doing an "add" operation on an entry that already exists?
