Did you export the database with slapcat and reimport it with slapadd?
Here are the instructions I use (taken from a local wiki):
Export the ldap database to an ldif file
This is done using slapcat.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# slapcat > /home/Administrator/ldap1.20061006.ldif
Stop the destination ldap server
sysserv0 ~ # /etc/init.d/slapd stop
Backup the old ldap database folder
We can use tar here.
sysserv0 ~ # tar cjf slapd.tar.bz2 /var/lib/openldap-data/
Prepare the ldap folder
sysserv0 ~ # rm /var/lib/openldap-data/*
sysserv0 ~ # tar xjf /root/slapd.tar.bz2 var/lib/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG
I don't get this. You tar the entire openldap-data folder, but then
empty it into a new directory called DB_CONFIG? This step I was not
doing, so it must be what is wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me.
thanks,
maria
Import the ldap database
sysserv0 ~ # slapadd -l /home/Administrator/ldap1.20061006.ldif
sysserv0 ~ # chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap-data/*
Start the destination ldap server
sysserv0 ~ # /etc/init.d/slapd start
