After installing, LDAP database is empty. How to populate it?

[Oliveiras]

I followed the documentation, installed the packages and edited the slapd-cli.conf file. But I can't find how to create and populate the database with the declared entries.

Trying to follow other tutorials, they say to use the command dpkg-reconfigure slapd to create and populate the database. What would be the equivalent command for these package?

Also, this information seems to be missing in the docs. It says how to configure slapd-cli but not how to apply.

Hi,

dpkg-reconfigure slapd is for debian packaging of OpenLDAP, it is different way to do for OpenLDAP-LTB packages.

You can read the documentation of slapd-cli tool here: https://ltb-project.org/documentation/slapd-cli.html

Especially, the target importdatatemplate is what you are looking for : it imports test data.

importflatconfigtemplate or importldifconfigtemplate let you import the configuration.
