OpenLDAP Quick Tips: Always test your slapd configuration

Monday, November 17. 2008

Hi All,

Here's my forth tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series:

"You want to test your configuration for your directory server":

The OpenLDAP Software Suite comes with many great command line tools which we will cover in the OpenLDAP Quick Tips series. The first one you should always use is slaptest:

CODE:

[root@suretec src]# /usr/local/sbin/slaptest -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf config file testing succeeded

The above means our configuration is all good. If we are using dynamic configuration, we would use -F. For more information, always use the -d flag which we will cover in another tip.

For some errors like below, it's obvious what's wrong:

CODE:

[root@suretec src]# /usr/local/sbin/slaptest -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf could not stat config file "/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/suretec.schema": No such file or directory (2) slaptest: bad configuration file!

Thanks,

Gavin.
