Ldap – openLDAP Replication Error “invalid format entry: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config”

ldapldifopenldap

I'm trying to set up an LDAP Replication server by following this (https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_16.04&p=openldap&f=5) tutorial.

At Step "[3] Configure LDAP Consumer" I've got the ldapadd error message "ldapass: invalid foramt (line 6) entry: "olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config"

My config file with ldapadd command

What am I doing wrong?

Update:

I´ve got 2 Virtual Machines with Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS.
The First Server is an working LDAP Server. On the second one I´ve set up an "empty" LDAP server to use it as Replicant.

I have followed the given tutorial successfull until step 3. At this step appeard the (in the Picture above) given errormessage by adding the ldif config.

Solved.

This tutorial (http://www.linuxlasse.net/linux/howtos/OpenLDAP_N-Way_MultiMaster_Replication) has a Headline Errors and Fixes. There is said, that I schould add following lines among the changetype: modify line:

add: olcSuffix
olcSuffix: dc=test,dc=local

add: olcRootDN
olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=test,dc=local

add: olcRootPW
olcRootPW: test

Now it works.
