i know that. I want to give binddn an enough priviledge
my binddn is rootdn, "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org"
ldapadd -c -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -x -w ${rootpw} -f init.ldif
i think, the content about n-way configuration in guide is a howto , but ${passwd} should be replaced by mine
One of slapd.conf or this ldif is irrelevant. Only one of them can apply at a
time. Please be careful to check how your slapd is being started (e.g. whether
-f or -F flags are passed or not etc.).

Maybe you need to read the guide more ...
Also, note that it is not a "HOWTO", but documents how various aspects work,
not necessarily just copy-and-paste examples to use without thinking ...

Which DN did you bind as when trying to apply this LDIF? E.g., can you supply
the ldapmodify commandline you used?
Note that according to your back-config extract above, you should have bound as
cn=config, but you need to check whether you are using slapd.conf or back-config
for configuration.

If you are doing configuration replication, the different servers need to be
able to identify which server ID belongs to them. The means for doing this is
providing the URL, which the server will try and match to one of it's
listening addresses (e.g. -h option to slapd).

Probably with good reason, which we can't determine without answers to the
questions above.

actually , I do dispatch the different serverID to every machine, but
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 $URI1
olcServerID: 2 $URI2
olcServerID: 3 $URI3
dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcServerID: 1
in my opinion, the two blocks is two different entry, why to replace by the former after writing the latter into LDAP Server.
