Issue ID: 9843
Summary: slapcat and slapadd have no -r option
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: 2.5.12
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: slapd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I run openldap in a chrooted environment, by calling
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -d0 -u openldap -r /home/openldap -F /etc/openldap/ -h
'ldap://zzz'
I want to migrate 2.5 → 2.6. The manual says first to call slapcat on the
databases. In the /home/openldap/etc/openldap directory are the configurations
of the databases. The path there:
olcDbDirectory: /var/openldap-data/yyy
obviously references the path within the chrooted environment, the path is
/home/openldap/var/openldap-data/yyy outside the chrooted environment.
Slapcat has no -r option. So there is no way to export the databases by using
slapcat -n 0 -F /home/openldap/etc/openldap/ . Strace(1) shows that the file
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/openldap-data/yyy/DUMMY"
is missing and the error message is
slapcat: bad configuration directory!
In fact there is a way: symlinking /var/openldap-data outside the chrooted
environment to /var/openldap-data inside the chrooted environment. This way
does work, but it requires expert magic like using strace.
Please add -r option to slapcat and slapadd, which performs chroot to the
directory, after opening the file specified by the -l parameter.
