Good Morning Quanah,

Yet you are trying to *slapadd* your primary database into the cn=config
database. Why are you surprised this doesn't work?

Also, you need to import the config first. So your first slapadd command
should be:

sudo slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l cn_config_export.ldif
This fails with the following error:

abirndt@lvps83-169-33-218:~/openldap_2axels-company$ sudo slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l cn_config_export.ldif
[sudo] password for abirndt:
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=config" (line=1):

But how could i add the initial import from the cn=config informations?
Yesterday i spend some hours in googling for that, but don't find the correct solution...


to import the config database.

Then you need to import your primary db:

sudo slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -b "dc=2axels-company,dc=de" -l
dc_2axels-company_dc_de_export.ldif
But this second command seems to be working. I will check it soon.


For slapadd, -n 0 has very specific meaning -- It is for the cn=config
db only.
Ok thanks for this hint. While you read in my other mails, you know, that i'am currently a beginner in openldap, and i don't read in the man-Page (-> sorry ;-) )
