Actually i want to configure ldap as master-slave replication using syncrepl method, On any reference which i found,I'm running on Centos 6 machine and openldap v2.4.23. I following step by step on http://admin.shamot.cz/?p=230#sthash.cKuGZQAu.dpbs Which using configuration from slapd.conf.

But recently on openldap version 2.4 and above, slapd.conf have been change into cn=config.

based on http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html said that i can converting slapd.conf to cn=config format.

So i try to convert my slapd.conf to cn=config.

So for this purpose i try to make slapd.conf file on server which have role provider like bellow:

database bdb
suffix dc=mydomain,dc=org
rootdn cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=org
directory /var/lib/ldap/db
index objectclass,entryCSN,entryUUID eq

overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100

database config
rootpw mypassword

Then i try to convert that file using slaptest command, but i got error message like bellow :

$ slaptest -f slapd.conf -v
slapd.conf: line 2: <suffix> invalid DN 21 (Invalid syntax)
slaptest: bad configuration file

Actually my suffix is absolutely right, but why always "invalid DN" How to solve this error ?

I had the same problem with too minimal of a file, I added a few extra details and it works

#slapd.conf

#schemas to use
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

#log
pidfile     /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid
argsfile    /var/run/openldap/slapd.args

########################################
#####   dbm database definitions    ####
########################################

database bdb
suffix dc=server,dc=com
rootdn cn=Manager,dc=server,dc=com
rootpw secret

#database directory
directory       /var/lib/ldap

#end

According to this you might only be missing the pidfile location as it changed between versions but you will eventually add the rest anyway.

You may need quotes around the DNs. Try suffix "dc=mydomain,dc=org", and quote the DN in the following line also.

You need to add

include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema

at the top of the file.

Possibly also the database module for the db backend you want

moduleload back_bdb
