When I run the ldapmodify command with the acl-del.ldif file I get the following message:

ldapmodify: wrong attributeType at line 3, entry "olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config"

What did I miss?

Hi hoihtah

I got the same outcome, but I moved ldif_out to be under

/phamm-inst

and also placed schema.convert there,

that did the trick!

To fix this issue, simply delete the lines manually from the olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif file...

vi /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase\=\{1\}hdb.ldif

What a joke of a tutorial -- dumping configuration files is such a cop-out that makes this "howto" fall very short of being a proper article. It would go a long way to properly identify _why_ and _how_ things work rather than providing obtuse config dumps, at least if you're calling this a tutorial.
