Title:
  slapd gives assertions for valid configuration

Status in “openldap” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The slapd version in Ubuntu precise (2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.1) suffers from
  the same issue that was reported in debian BTS for the debian version
  2.4.28-1.1.

  When configuring the shell backend in slapd.conf the syntax is (see
  man slapd-shell):

  add <pathname> <argument>...
  bind <pathname> <argument>...
  compare <pathname> <argument>...

  and so on.

  That is the path to the script followed by its arguments. This has
  worked fine in the past. However, the current version 2.4.28-1.1 of
  the slapd server refuses to start if any arguments are given after the
  path name in the configuration file, with the following assertion:

  slapd: ../../../../servers/slapd/config.c:198: config_check_vals:
  Assertion `c->argc == 2' failed.

  For the configuration of the shell backend the assertion condition
  means that it is not possible to pass arguments to the script in the
  slapd.conf. The man pages documents that this should still be
  possible, and it has been working with earlier versions.
