kolab_bootstrap -b with auth troubles

[Mark Pierce]

Hello Dennis, Hi Martin,

I am in the process of installing Kolab from the Mandrake 10.0 RPMs.
Open package is a good idea for sharing development but for production,
I personally would rather reduce the complexity to a single system. You
could just imagine if every app came out with its own system
environment... All the same Kolab looks promising, if just judging by
its components.

I'm getting the same messages as you are from "kolab_bootstrap -b"  But
I will add that slapd() sends the key messages to /var/log/ldap/
ldap.log and thus also to /var/log/messages which repeat each time LDAP
is started from "service ldap start":

As far as I've been able to ascertain the problem lies in the
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf  with the line:

database   ldbm

My original ldap configuration uses "database bdm" and starts properly.
There are several sites which explain the use of multiple databases
within LDAP out there amongst them:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/ldbmdirect.html
http://yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html#EMAILCLIENTS

But it will take me a while to wade through all that info to come back
to whatever errors are written by Kolab into the slapd.conf file.

I'll let you know how I progress, but it would be really nice if someone
who KNOWS to come in and fix things for us. It's a lot easier to work
backwards from a running system than to try to figure out the errors as
you go.
