Thank you for your response and for nudging me towards the test scripts.
Shortly after your email, I had to deal with an emergency, so am only now
circling back around to this.

I currently have the "ldap-utils" package installed from the base Ubuntu
repositories on Ubuntu 20.04. This is version 2.4.49 of openldap.

I then downloaded the source code for openldap-2.5.9, and have figured
out how to run "make test" to run all of the test scripts.

Unfortunately, the test045 script keeps failing because it says that the
necessary backend isn't even available, which is really confusing to me,
because I've ensured that back-mdb is enabled.

See below for output of `slapcat` as well as the modules enabled. Why is
the test045 script telling me that the "LDAP backend not available, test
skipped" when back-mdb and syncprov are both clearly available? Am I
missing something else?

The "ldap backend" is back-ldap. back-ldap is required to do proxied syncreplication.

I'd suggest ignoring the Ubuntu packages entirely and using the free 2.5 or 2.6 packages provided by Symas for Ubuntu.

Quanah
