I am facing issue with our new LDAP servers as they go down one by one alternatively. When checked for the services it says:
"slapd dead but pid file exists openldap"
but show no service running ps -ea | grep slapd
. When the service is restarted, LDAP starts with message
"bdb_db_open: database "dc=root": unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery.slapd starting" a
nd works perfectly until the issue comes again.
There is nothing in the ldap logs much to investigate as each time it overwrites the logs but i got below error once it had stopped.
slapd[30190]: daemon: bind(7) failed errno=13 (Permission denied)
slapd[30190]: slapd stopped.
I checked the access to ldap user on certificates folder and it has read\write access on it. Unlike others, my LDAP starts with service slapd start on RHEL. Please help,
