Updating from OpenLDAP 2.3.X to 2.4.X ===================================== Changed Database format: Due change in the "BDB"-backend's index database format, existing bdb-databases need to be reloaded from LDIF completely. This is normally done during the package installation/update. This might not work in all setups and for that database dumps of all bdb/hdb databases are created during the update. You can find the database dump of each bdb database in the database directory for that database (default: /var/lib/ldap/). The file name is "ldapbak.ldif.X" where "X" presents the number of the database. If the database backups where not created during the package update for some reason, you can do them manually by using the command: /usr/sbin/openldap-2.3-slapcat -T c \ -f /etc/openldap/schema.backup.XXXXXX/slapd.conf.update Before dumping the database you should remove the db's enviroment (the __db*-file in /var/lib/ldap) To reload the databases please use the tool "slapadd". Other Changes: For additional information on important changes and upgrade instructions, please have a look a the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide.
