I think i have to add all the databse derectives in slapd.conf

by adding this before "databse mdb" i was able to make it work.

database config

# rootdn directive for config

rootdn "cn=admin,cn=config"

rootpw {SSHA}XXXXXXXXX

###

databse mdb

Thanks,

Ram

Quanah,

My slapd.d dir is empty and my initialization script only create config if slapd.d dir is empty, i tried with slapd.conf every thing looks good except i don't find a way to connect to cn=config db as i don't see roodDN in "cn\=config/olcDatabase\=\{0\}config.ldif"

Thanks,
Ram

Hi,

I am trying to follow this thread (
http://blog.roeften.com/2015/03/openldap-24-on-centos-7-using-mdb.html )
to initialize the ldap config in non-default directory but i am getting
this error.

cat example.ldif | slapadd -v -F /opt/data/slapd.d -n 0 -d -1

59d29ce6 >>> dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>
59d29ce6 <<< dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>, <cn=config>
59d29ce6 str2entry: entry -1 has multiple DNs "cn=config" and
"cn=module,cn=config"
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=1)

If i add one by one (one dn at a time) it seems to be working.

Any idea?

Well, if you already have your own cn=config database, then you're just making a real mess out of it. That would be my guess. I'm not sure why you're following some random "how to" guide. If you already had a working slapd.conf, then all you needed to do was convert it to cn=config using "slaptest".
