I am running an OpenLDAP 2.4 server that uses the SSL service for communication. It works for lookups.

I am trying to add mirror mode replication.

So this is the command that I'm executing:

ldapmodify -D "cn=myuser,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -H ldaps://myloadbalancer -W -f /etc/ldap/ldif/server_id.ldif

Where this is my server_id.ldif:

dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 myserver1
olcServerID: 2 myserver2

and this is my cn\=config.ldif in the slapd.d tree of text files:

dn: cn=config
objectClass: olcGlobal
cn: config
olcArgsFile: /var/run/slapd/slapd.args
olcPidFile: /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid
olcToolThreads: 1
structuralObjectClass: olcGlobal
entryUUID: ff9689de-c61d-1031-880b-c3eb45d66183
creatorsName: cn=config
createTimestamp: 20121118224947Z
olcLogLevel: stats
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ldap/certs/ldapscert.pem
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ldap/certs/ldapskey.pem
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ldap/certs/ldapscert.pem
olcTLSVerifyClient: never
entryCSN: 20121119022009.770692Z#000000#000#000000
modifiersName: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
modifyTimestamp: 20121119022009Z

But unfortunately I'm getting this:

Enter LDAP Password: 
modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)

If I try to specify the config database I get this:

ldapmodify -H 'ldaps://myloadbalancer/cn=config' -D "cn=myuser,cn=config" -W -f ./server_id.ldif 
Enter LDAP Password: 
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)}

Does anyone know how I can add the serverID to the config database so that I can complete the setup of mirror mode?
