Hi, I need to create 150 sub suffixes with their databases using the command line (I need subtree replication to 150 branches). I read the RHDS documentation and created the following entries: ldapadd -x -D uid=scriptuser,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=ar -w foo << EOF dn: cn=ou=$1\,dc=domain\,dc=ar,cn=mapping tree,cn=config objectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsMappingTree nsslapd-state: backend nsslapd-backend: $1 nsslapd-parent-suffix: dc=domain,dc=ar cn: ou=$1\,dc=domain\,dc=ar dn: cn=$1,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsBackendInstance nsslapd-suffix: ou=$1,dc=domain,dc=ar dn: ou=$1,dc=domain,dc=ar objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: $1 description: $1 EOF The bind user has permission to add these entries to cn=config. Their are created without error. The problem is the database. It looks like something is missing in the filesystem: #ls -l /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-mreldc03/db/test total 20 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 46 Feb 23 20:41 DBVERSION -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 16384 Feb 23 20:41 id2entry.db4 If I add an object to the suffix, nothing changes in the DB directory. Using the Java Console, works perfectly. There are a lot of files in the DB directory and that files are updates if a change something in the subtree. May be I'm missing a step, but I reviewed the documention and my procedure looks fine. Regards, Diego -- Diego Woitasen
