Yuck. Don't do that. To access your database files, use programs from the LDAP version (and preferably installation) which created the database. > The 2.1 version, however, does not complain. (This is also true of > slapd, which is a little more expected) Right. 2.1 was rather lax about checking for schema errors. 3.2 is far stricter. > slapcat(2.1) -f 2.1.config.conf -l output.ldif > slapadd(2.3) -f 2.3.config.conf That's the right way. And after the slapcat, edit output.ldif and/or your schema files to fix the various schema errors 2.1 incorrectly accepted but slapadd 2.3 complains about. -- Hallvard
