The Samba folks were complaining about this ambiguity a while back. Which is 
why we recommended that they just always issue the moduleload statements. They 
will be ignored/no-op'd if the module was already built in.


Likewise, the default modulepath is always compiled in, so there's no need to 
set it unless you're loading a custom module of your own from some other location.

How to configure overlay unique in cn=config

2010-10-14 Thread Jarek 
Hello!

I'm trying to configure unique attribue:

unique.ldiff:

dn: olcOverlay=unique,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcUniqueConfig
olcOverlay: unique
olcUniqueAttribute: mail


ldapadd -v -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:///  -f unique.ldiff
ldap_initialize( ldapi:///??base )
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
add objectClass:
olcOverlayConfig
olcUniqueConfig
add olcOverlay:
unique
add olcUniqueAttribute:
mail
adding new entry olcOverlay=unique,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax

  I'd guess you haven't loaded the unique module before adding the
  overlay. Try adding this LDIF:

 Thanks for the answer.
 After playing a lot, I've found that it works only when both module and
 overlay is configured in files in /etc/ldap/slap.d/...
