Hello,
I am trying to set up OpenLDAP on Arch Linux on my server, following
instruction on Arch Wiki[1]. I prepared the config.ldif file, replacing
every $BASEDN and $PASSWD in the example configuration:
# The root config entry
dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcArgsFile: /run/openldap/slapd.args
olcPidFile: /run/openldap/slapd.pid
# Schemas
dn: cn=schema,cn=config
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: schema
# TODO: Include further schemas as necessary
include: file:///etc/openldap/schema/core.ldif
# The config database
dn: olcDatabase=config,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
olcDatabase: config
olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
# The database for our entries
dn: olcDatabase=mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcMdbConfig
olcDatabase: mdb
olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com
olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
olcRootPW: {SSHA}xZqSQN4wG4+C5I57dB/Qm02vJ+kQcwd7
olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data
# TODO: Create further indexes
olcDbIndex: objectClass eq
Then I executed the following command:
sudo -u ldap slapadd -n 0 -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -l ./config.ldif
This gave me the following error:
invalid config directory /etc/openldap/slapd.d/, error 2
slapadd: bad configuration directory!
I checked that the directory did not exist, so I created it and changed
owner to `ldap`. The wiki page did not mention that the directory should
be created earlier, so maybe it should have been created by a post
installation script. If that's the case, I will report it to package
maintainers.
After I created the directory, I ran the command again, this time having
a different error message:
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=config" (line=1):
Closing DB...
I have no idea what is wrong now and I cannot find anything useful on
the internet. Does anyone have an idea what I may be doing wrong here?
