Here's one example that occurs when updating from OpenLDAP 2.4.42 or earlier to 2.4.43 or later: the ppolicy overlay has a new attribute in the newer version, so if you simply run the commands above, the first one (the one that copies the config database) will produce the following error message: | Here's one example that occurs when updating from OpenLDAP 2.4.42 or earlier to 2.4.43 or later: the ppolicy overlay has a new attribute in the newer version, so if you simply run the commands above, the first one (the one that copies the config database) will produce the following error message: | ||

It should start with the line {{C|dn: cn={4}ppolicy,cn=schema,cn=config}} (the {{C|{4}}} part might contain a different integer, that's OK). There, note that the {{C|olcAttributeTypes: ...}} entry for {{C|pwdMaxRecordedFailure}} is missing, and also it's not listed in the {{C|MAY}} list of the {{C|pwdPolicy}} object class definition. Copy over the attribute type definition from the {{C|ppolicy.ldif}} file on the new server, and amend the {{C|MAY}} list to include it. | ||
The above is explained only for instructive purposes, since this particular fix will already have been applied by the time someone reads this guide. It's meant to give you an idea as to how backwards incompatible changes in OpenLDAP schema files can be amended when migrating to a newer version. (Also, no such clear explanation of the fix seems to be found anywhere on the web, so maybe someone who searches the error message above will come upon this guide and be happy!) | The above is explained only for instructive purposes, since this particular fix will already have been applied by the time someone reads this guide.
