[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#464937: slapd fails with sasl errors

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.7-4
Severity: important

This is what happens during start

7 20    Feb 10 04:21:09 learner slapd[1036]:     daemon: shutdown requested and initiated.

7 20    Feb 10 04:21:09 learner slapd[1441]:     slapd starting

So, sasl is initialized. The _sasl_plugin_load error started only after
I installed the libsasl2-modules-ldap hoping that that might solve the
problem. But no, it didn't.

Now what I connect to the server using my addressbook client (KDE
Addressbook LDAP Resource), I get the following errors.

7 20    Feb 10 04:22:51 learner slapd[1441]:     SASL [conn=6] Error: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory

7 20    Feb 10 04:22:52 learner slapd[1441]:     connection_operation: error: SASL bind in progress (tag=66).

There is no folder named /etc/sasldb2 on my system.
How am I supposed to create it ?
Is it correct for slapd to look at that path ?
There is no document much about ldap in /usr/share/doc/slapd/
