I've been trying for the last 3 hours to setup a slave ldap server on Etch.
So far I've
apt-get install ldap-server
apt-get install ldap-client
and it seems to work, the problem comes when I try to setup the system to be identical to all our
other servers.
What I normally do is simply copy the slapd.conf & ldap.conf files from one of the other slaves and
then simply slapadd -l master.ldif which is a dump of our main ldap server. This is where the
problem starts the database backend that all our other servers use is set to ldbm not the default
bdb. I've found this via google but it doesn't seem to help much
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg112818.html
Does anyone know how to "add" ldbm or can I simply use the default bdb. If this is the case does
anyone know if the replication will work via slurpd and this will take care of the conversions ??
I hope this makes sense
