Dear list!
If I have an LDIF backup of a cn=config database, taken with slapcat, how
would I use it to bootstrap a new server, for example, in a desaster
recovery setting?
I tried it and slapadd required a configuration, but cn=config *is* the
configuration and I am trying to restore it. So this is a bit of a chicken
and egg problem, isn't it?
It looked that way, when we started designing this 4 years ago. But yes, we
have a solution.
Is there an "official" way of doing that?
Exactly the same way as you slapcat'd it. What was the exact command line you
used for slapcat?
