ldap_modify: No such object (32)

I found the problem. Here is the fix:

Change olcDatabase={2}bdb to olcDatabase={2}hdb

Make sure run these beforehand:

ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.ldif
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/nis.ldif 
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif

    I installed OpenLDAP on Centos 7 and tried to create the admin user. But I got some error on ldap_modify. Below are my steps:

    Install OpenLDAP and start it:

    sudo yum install openldap openldap-servers openldap-clients -y
    systemctl start slapd.service
    

    Create admin.ldif

    dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    add: olcRootPW
    olcRootPW: {SSHA}CRiUMh5UM8/chPHbfc2Se2JA8Quc5F1P
    
    dn: olcDatabase={1}monitor,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    replace: olcAccess
    olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth"
      read by dn.base="cn=ldapadmin,dc=demo,dc=local" read by * none
    
    dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    replace: olcSuffix
    olcSuffix: dc=demo,dc=local
    
    dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    replace: olcRootDN
    olcRootDN: cn=ldapadmin,dc=demo,dc=local
    
    dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    add: olcRootPW
    olcRootPW: {SSHA}CRiUMh5UM8/chPHbfc2Se2JA8Quc5F1P
    
    dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config
    changetype: modify
    add: olcAccess
    olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by
      dn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=demo,dc=local" write by anonymous auth by self write by * none
    olcAccess: {1}to dn.base="" by * read
    olcAccess: {2}to * by dn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=demo,dc=local" write by * read
    

    Run below command line:

    ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /root/demo/users/admin.ldif
    

    Then I got this error:

    SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
    SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
    SASL SSF: 0
    modifying entry "olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config"
    ldap_modify: No such object (32)
        matched DN: cn=config
    

    I didn't have this error in a different system using Centos 7 so I am wondering what's happening here.

    Please help.
