slapcat fails when archiving OD master

[hjuutilainen]

I have a problem with backing up our OD master database. It seems that slapcat segfaults in the middle of dumping the database and of course the dump is incomplete. Has anyone seen this happening? I found a few posts in Apple mailing lists that suggests that turning of SSL would help. We are using EMC Networker for backups and the same segfault happens when Networker is trying to perform the pre-backup commands.

System info: Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, XServe G5, OD Master and bound to AD

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for my late reply. I thought I had enabled email notifications in these forums but I didn’t… But anyway, slapcat doesn’t work on it’s own either. It crashes with “segmentation fault” as a last line of text.

Is there any other alternatives to backing up OD? We only have about 200 client machines and OD is used only for managing these clients. Authentication and home folders are handled by Active Directory. I haven’t tried disabling SSL yet because I’m not exactly sure what the clients might think about it. Would it be safe to test without SSL?

Thanks again!
