Re: Migrate SASLDB2 to a new server

Thanks for your answer.

 
Is there a way to check the flags used during the compilation of cyrus-sasl package?
I simply installed the package from the repository (yum install cyrus-sasl) but I guess this install only supports Berkeley DB…

 
I read the database recommended format is Berkeley DB; is there a tool or script available that can accomplish the conversion (gdbm -> berkeley)?
 

Thanks,

Olivier

You have 2 options:

- Make sure that SASL on the new machine is compiled to use gdbm for sasldb

- Find a tool to migrate your gdbm database to whatever format SASL on the new machine expects

I’m trying to migrate my database to a new Linux server (CentOS 6.9 x64).

 

Old Server: Cyrus SASL 2.1.18 

New Server: Cyrus SASL 2.1.23

 

I copied the database from the old server to the new server: /etc/sasldb2

 

But when I execute sasldblistusers2 I get below error:

/etc/sasldb2: unexpected file type or format

listusers failed

 

# file /etc/sasldb2

/etc/sasldb2: GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm database, little endian

 

Is there anything I’m missing? Is there a specific procedure to migrate the database to a new server?

 

Thanks,

Olivier
