Hi Dieter,
Thank you very much, but even though I spent all day trying to figure out
the problem I could not make any progress at all.
The mmr_servers.ldif file I provided is an *exact* copy of the OpenLDAP 2.4
Administrator's Guide Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master", so if it is not
working it has to be a documentation error/bug in that section of the
Administrator's Guide itself.
Or is it the case that the variables I'm setting therein are wrong?
Here are the variable values I'm setting:
============================
# Also, replace all ${} variables with whatever is applicable to your setup:
BACKEND=bdb
BASEDN="dc=ldapservice,dc=hq,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
MANAGERDN="cn=admin,$BASEDN"
PASSWD=secret
The slapd.conf file also is the *exact* same one that gets created at
install-time in /usr/local/etc/openldap/ , with the only change being my
"BDB database definitions" customisations as follows:
#######################################################################
# BDB database definitions
#######################################################################
## added for multimaster replication (prior to running slapadd to create
db):
database bdb
# suffix <DN of root of subtree you are trying to create>
suffix "dc=ldapservice,dc=hq,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=ldapservice,dc=hq,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
rootpw secret
# directory for index files
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data
# specify which indices you want to build
index objectClass eq
# loglevel 64
Whatever I try, however, slapadd gives the same error:
=======================================
ubuntu11@ubuntu11:~$ sudo slapadd -l
/home/ubuntu11/openldap-2.4.33/mmr_servers.ldif -f
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d
50dd4b2a bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor
database to enable
slapadd: line 1: database #1
(dc=ldapservice,dc=hq,dc=practicefusion,dc=com) not configured to hold
"cn=config"; did you mean to use database #0 (cn=config)?
_ 3.25% eta none elapsed none spd 833.5
k/s
Closing DB...
I didn't quite understand your instructions either:
==================================
"cn=config has to be database number 0, that
is, the first database declaration must be cn=config."
In mmr_servers.ldif, the very first line is
dn: cn=config
How do I cause cn=config to be database number 0 , please?
And why should I have to, unless the text in OpenLDAP 2.4 Administrator's
Guide, Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master" has a bug?
Could you please advise? I am completely stuck.
Thank you very much.
