What you will have to do: a) Use slapcat with the older SLES build to export your cn=config database b) Update the resulting LDIF so that it works correctly with the new SLES build c) Import it with the new SLES slapdI tried to do so, but It did not work: Without debugging the only message I got was "slapadd: database doesn't support necessary operations.". What is special with the "Backend ACL"? Is this referring to a specific line of my LDIF? The command I used was "slapadd -v -n0 -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -S 1 -w -g -dparse,ACL,trace -l /tmp/test-0.ldif"
It's simply warning the ACL lacks a specific database context, so it can be unclear what to apply it to. It's not the source of your problem.
The basic question is: What is the necessary operation the database does not support?
Please fix your slapadd command to provide the necessary information as to why it stopped (You want a debug level of -1 in this case:
slapadd -v -n0 -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -w -S 1 -d -1 -l /tmp/test-0.ldifAdditionally, ensure that /etc/openldap/slapd.d is empty before running slapadd, i.e.:
cd /etc/openldap mv slapd.d slapd.d.old mkdir slapd.d Then run the slapadd command. Regards, Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
