I've written an application that uses Fedora DS and next I'm planning to write unit tests. I'm wondering if there is a way to delete the whole userRoot database and create it again? I searched the documentation and there seems to be a way to create the database from command line, but no way to delete it, except from the GUI?Just delete the entry (e.g. delete cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config). You will have to do some sort of recursive deletion to remove all of the child entries. I think this is what the GUI does - just check the access logs for the server after deleting the database in the console.Thank you Richard, that worked very well. I also delete the mapping tree entry, which maps the suffix to the backend database:dn: cn="dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk",cn=mapping tree,cn=config objectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsMappingTree nsslapd-state: backend nsslapd-backend: userRoot cn: dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=ukThe GUI works slightly differently, it sets nsslapd-state to "disabled" and removes the nsslapd-backend attribute.If anyone has a need for a script that can delete and create a database, I can send it to the list. I use Python with python-ldap package.Thank you very much for a fast response!This may be a stupid question but how do I get ldif2db.pl to remove the previous contents so it can create the entries?I tried like this:./ldif2db.pl -v -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w mypassword -n userRoot -i /path/to/userRoot.ldifbut in the errors log it shows for every entry "WARNING: Skipping duplicate entry".Thanks Richard! You were right, all the entries were defined twice in the file. I don't understand how that happened, I used the "Export Databases" task in the Console to create the file. If the file already exists, does it append new entries to it? I must have done something wrong...It might append to it. I'm not sure.
Just tested the import, it works very well. Entries are modified, removed and added to restore the original database. It's very fast too (my test server runs on an old Pentium 3):Processed 9854 entries in 9 seconds. (1094.89 entries/sec) Thank you again!
