Hi,
I am running slapd 2.4.33 on RHEL, compiled from the sources.
I successfully configured meta backend using old style slapd.conf.
My aim is to browse two Active Directories in two separate forests
(success) and to collect in a new group all users members of two local
groups, one for each domain (not done yet).
For the latter I read that the dynlist overlay is what I need and I
created a hdb database.
The configuration examples I found for dynlist are in the cn=config style,
so I felt pushed to convert my configuration (slapd -f slapd.conf -F
slapd.d).
I did it, but the results are not as expected, because slapd starts, but
slaptest for the new config issues an error.
# slaptest -f slapd.conf
51137c4c hdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor
database to enable
config file testing succeeded
# slaptest
51137c5a olcDbURI: value #0: unable to parse URI #0 in "olcDbURI
<protocol>://<server>[:port]/<naming context>".
51137c5a config error processing
olcMetaSub={0}uri,olcDatabase={1}meta,cn=config: unable to parse URI #0 in
"olcDbURI <protocol>://<server>[:port]/<naming context>"
slaptest: bad configuration file!
I assume, please tell me if I am wrong, that if you have the new cn=config
files, then slapd.conf is not used.
But I remove or rename it slapd does not start and the error message is
the same as for slaptest.
olcDbURI: value #0: unable to parse URI #0 in "olcDbURI
<protocol>://<server>[:port]/<naming context>".
config error processing olcMetaSub={0}uri,olcDatabase={1}meta,cn=config:
unable to parse URI #0 in "olcDbURI <protocol>://<server>[:port]/<naming
context>"
slapd stopped.
So I am wondering if the new config files are even read when slapd starts
correctly (i.e. when called with both "-f" and "-F" flags). I know that
one of the new features of version 2.4.33 is just the cn=config support
for meta.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Francesco
