Under Centos 6.2 openldap uses the new cn=config configuration mechanism, and will ignore your slapd.conf configuration if that mechnism already exists.
Thanks for your response. I know the default config is as you say, but I gave the command ----------------------------------- [root@grover ldap]# slapadd -f /tmp/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldif bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable -#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 26s spd 4.8 k/s Closing DB... ----------------------------------- I'm pretty sure the file slapd.conf was read by the program, as the outcome was different.
Try backing up and removing that folder, then your slapd.conf configuration will actually be read.
I'll try that, But have you actually migrated an openLDAP setup from CentOS 5 to 6?
