Howard Thank you for pointed this out. I have no idea about what are these packages
The slapadd and ldapadd were not working after my administrator installed openldap for me. I suspect there are something missing in the installation. I will try install openldap one more time following the INSTALL document comes with the software. Hope that will solve the problem Hui -----Original Message----- From: Howard Chu [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 1:14 PM To: Wang, Hui; [email protected] Subject: Re: are patches important for the openldap installation?

They specifically recommend Berkeley DB 6.1.23 and patch the OpenLDAP configure script to defeat our BDB version check. BDB 6.x's license is incompatible with OpenLDAP and using it will make you liable to a visit from Oracle's lawyers. > > I can’t install patch successfully. It only patch a few files then > stops.
