Unable to dump LDAP database after changes

  • 772

I added an attribute to my LDAP database by running

ldapmodify -QY EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f openssh-lpk.schema

as root, where openssh-lpk.schema contains this:

# Author: Eric AUGE <[email protected]>
#
# Based on the proposal of : Mark Ruijter
#
version: 1

dn: cn=openssh-lpk,cn=schema,cn=config
changetype: add
cn: openssh-lpk
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
olcAttributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.24552.500.1.1.1.13 NAME 'sshPublicKey'
  DESC 'OpenSSH Public key'
  EQUALITY octetStringMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 )
olcObjectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.24552.500.1.1.2.0 NAME 'ldapPublicKey' SUP top AUXILIARY
  DESC 'OpenSSH LPK objectclass'
  MUST uid
  MAY sshPublicKey )

dn: cn={5}inetorgperson,cn=schema,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcObjectClasses
olcObjectClasses: ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.2 NAME 'inetOrgPerson' DESC 'RF
 C2798: Internet Organizational Person' SUP organizationalPerson STRUCTURAL
 MAY ( audio $ businessCategory $ carLicense $ departmentNumber $ displayNam
 e $ employeeNumber $ employeeType $ givenName $ homePhone $ homePostalAddre
 ss $ initials $ jpegPhoto $ labeledURI $ mail $ manager $ mobile $ o $ page
 r $ photo $ roomNumber $ secretary $ uid $ userCertificate $ x500uniqueIden
 tifier $ preferredLanguage $ userSMIMECertificate $ userPKCS12 $ sshPublicK
 ey ) )

This works great – I'm able to modify users to add their public key details to their record, and then read that data from other clients.

Problems pop up when I try to back up the database using slapcat though:

5b044b38 olcObjectClasses: value #0 olcObjectClasses: AttributeType not found: "sshPublicKey"
5b044b38 config error processing cn={5}inetorgperson,cn=schema,cn=config: olcObjectClasses: AttributeType not found: "sshPublicKey"
slapcat: bad configuration file!

What have I done wrong that slapcat isn't able to see the definition for sshPublicKey?

    You shouldn't have modified inetorgperson. There was no need to do that. Any number of AUXILIARY ObjectClasses can co-exists together (with one STRUCTURAL objectClass).

    Your slapd may be okay if you restart it.
