I'm moving my home network server from a Dell server, which has been having some mysterious problems, to an HP MicroServer. Everything - MySQL, OpenVPN, email (dovecot), httpd, etc - except for openLDAP, which is taking more time than everything else put together.
I haven't found any straightforward instructions on this anywhere. The official RedHat document http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html /Deployment_Guide/ch-Directory_Servers.html doesn't really tell you what to do.
Basically, I've saved the data on the old server with slapcat > /tmp/ldif and moved ldif to the new server . But when I run slapadd -l /tmp/ldif on the new server I get the response -------------------------------------- [root@grover ldap]# slapadd -l /tmp/ldif The first database does not allow slapadd; using the first available one (2) bdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2). Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=my-domain,dc=com". slapadd: line 1: database #2 (dc=my-domain,dc=com) not configured to hold "dc=www,dc=gayleard,dc=com"; no database configured for that naming context _ 0.29% eta none elapsed none spd 1.1 M/s Closing DB... --------------------------------------
So I have copied /etc/openldap/slapd.conf from the old server to the new and also copied the old DB_CONFIG to /var/lib/ldap (these files are not used under CentOS-6, as far as I can see), and run -------------------------------------- [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... [root@grover slapd.d]# /var/lib [root@grover lib]# chown -R ldap.ldap ldap [root@grover lib]# service slapd restart --------------------------------------
Now I can access http://www.gayleard.com/phpLDAPadmin. There is an icon named "Login" on the left, but I am unable to login with any username/password I can think of, eg root/<root-password>. However, if I click on Anonymous in the login page, I do seem to enter an LDAP database, but with Base dc=my-domain,dc=com
If anyone has successfully navigated this journey I should be very grateful to learn where I am going wrong.
