Description thierry bordaz 2023-10-24 16:58:00 UTC

Description of problem:
After an OS upgrade, the LDAP server won't start.

One needs to remove the nsslapd-conntablesize definition from the /etc/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE>/dse.ldif before the server could be started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
Configure a custom value for the CT size ( so the configuration parameter nsslapd-conntablesize is present in the dse.ldif file )
Upgrade the system
The LDAP server won't start after the upgrade
From the errors log:

[17/Oct/2023:14:45:29.494808167 +0200] - ERR - setup_internal_backends - Please edit the file to correct the reported problems and then restart the server.
