Hello all,
I have to upgrade an OpenSuSE 11.0, with role of PDC with LDAP and SAMBA into an OpenSuSE 11.3. Any hint to do it? Any precaution i have to take before do the upgrade? Or, even better, is all easy and automatized and at the first boot of the new SO it works like a charm? Any experence of someone ?
Ciao Claudio,
I can't tell you much about Samba and PDC, but you should care about LDAP! Since Version 2.3 of OpenLDAP the "online-configuration" of LDAP is supported and installed by default. This means your slapd.conf is in your ldap-database itself. As I can tell from Debian squeeze you still can start slapd with your slapd.conf,BUT you have to configure this first! This is wrong. Opposite to what Debian seems to do (I didn't check that myself), the packages in openSUSE will NOT automatically convert an existing slapd.conf based configuration to the back-config based configuration during the update. slapd will continue to work using slapd.conf. Converting from slapd.conf to the back-config database needs to be done manually (if wanted at all).
Hello, so maybe I wrote it in a missunderstanding way, sorry for that. What I wanted to say, is that the way OpenLDAP-configuration works is completely new and installing OpenLDAP *from the scratch* causes OpenLDAP to use directly the new online-config. Debian also doesn't convert the config when you update/upgrade (as far as I know), but when it is newly installed it works with online-config by default. I assumed that the upgrade is done on a new machine (I would recommend that) or at least tested first on a new machine...
