I am trying to setup ldap server on my ubuntu 14.04. I had previous ldap server setup installed on centos 6 which uses flat-file configuration i.e slapd.conf method for ldap.
Now I want to setup openldap server on Ubuntu 14.04. I placed all contents from /etc/openldap from centos in /etc/ldap on ubuntu. When I try to install ldap using following
$ sudo apt-get install slapd
I am getting below error:
Setting up slapd (2.4.31-1ubuntu2) ...
Creating initial configuration... mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/ldap/slapd.conf': File exists
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
slapd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I removed database files from /var/lib/ldap/
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/ldap/*
Then, I tried it to convert slapd.conf to slapd.d by using
$ sudo slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d
I am get error as below.
Unrecognized database type (bdb)
546470b0 slapd.conf: line 99: <database> failed init (bdb)
slaptest: bad configuration directory!
What should be done in order to use slapd.conf of my own and configure database.
