My apologies if this is off-topic...
On a centos6.4 system I installed 389 server from EPEL. It seems to
work well enough. However I'm trying to script things, rather than
do it via the GUI. So, for example, I want to add a new suffix:
#!/bin/ksh -p
pswd=$(cat ~/passwd)
add()
{
echo "dn: cn=example,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: add
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsBackendInstance
nsslapd-suffix: dc=example,dc=com
dn: cn=dc=example\,dc=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsMappingTree
nsslapd-state: backend
nsslapd-backend: example
cn: dc=example,dc=com
" | ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w $pswd -h $1
}
add my_server
This appears to work.
adding new entry "cn=example,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config"
adding new entry "cn=dc=example\,dc=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config"
However I then try and use this new root suffix:
#!/bin/ksh -p
pswd=$(cat ~/passwd)
add()
{
echo "dn: dc=stephen_test,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
dc: stephen_test
" | ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w $pswd -h $1
}
add my_server
And this fails
adding new entry "dc=stephen_test,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_add: No such object (32)
Similarly:
% ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=example,dc=com'
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#
# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object
# numResponses: 1
Clearly I'm missing something obvious... but I can't see what!
