Ah, makes perfect sense. I should be able to bind to cn=config and make standard LDAP searches and modifications while slapd is running correct?
If so, can someone provide a sample bind string and olcDatabase file for the cn=config? I can't seem to bind to the cn=config to make my modifications. BTW, I can bind with no problems to my LDAP database in hdb.

No. Currently it is hardcoded to use back-ldif. While it may be possible to use different backends in the future, it's unlikely that back-bdb/hdb will ever be candidates for that purpose, since they require fairly complex configurations themselves. I.e., to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem of where to get the configuration info for the underlying backend, only extremely simple backends are suitable here. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/ --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
