Hi,

I have an old configuration that I would like to export/reimport. The
olcDbDirectory item of this configuration contains a directory that does not
longer exist.
It it then impossible to modify the parameter:
- I was told not to edit directly LDIF config files
- if i try a slapcat -n0 I get:
52d64c91 olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory
52d64c91 config error processing olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config: olcDbDirectory:
value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory
slapcat: bad configuration directory!

I think slapcat should always allow to export a configuration.

Regards,
Raphaël Ouazana.
