I'm trying to get the ITUGLIB OpenLDAP slapd server running on my
machine. Whenever I do so, it tells me "bdb" is an invalid backend.

How should I configure it?

Thanks

ITUGLIB's OpenLDAP needs the Berkeley DataDase (also on ITUGLIB, as package
'db') as its backend, it won't talk to any other DB (it might talk to LDBM,
if build for it)
It comes in two flavours, and I believe you'd need the one without "(OSS)"
in its name/description.

I've never used it myself, so can't say anything about how to use or
configure it, also the stuff is pretty old meanwhile...

Interestingly HP has LDAP Support for Neoview, T1272, but apparently not for
NonStop.

I rebuilt with the db package installed (libdb.a is static, so OpenLDAP
needs to be re-linked/rebuilt). I then ran into the "fast mutex" issue.

I think the issue is that you have to build DB yourself, and configure
it with --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads/private

I'm still compiling, but it looks like that's the rub. I'll post more
tomorrow after it all builds.

And as I just found: the ITUGLIB version was built for LDBM and not BDB

A new version of OpenLDAP is available on ITUGLIB, built to be able to use
Berkeley DB.
A new Berkeley DB is available on ITUGLIB too.

openLDAP is 2.4.29
Berkeley DB is 5.3.15

Let me know whether it works for you, and if not, where and how it fails...

Bye, Jojo
