Oh, is THAT all? You are mixing the syntax for defining a class with that
for declaring one. A resource-style class declaration looks like this:
class { 'mymodule::myclass':
param1 => value1,
param2 => value2
}
HOWEVER, your specific example also seems to imply that you think
openldap::server::database is a class, whereas it's actually a resource
type (specifically, a defined type). You would declare instances of that
type just like you declare instances of any other resource type:
openldap::server::database { $dn:
ensure => present,
rootdn => "cn=admin,${dn}",
rootpw => $rootpw,
}
The docs of the openldap module provide additional examples of both.
Do note, however, that an ENC cannot emit resource declarations, only class
declarations and global variables. Moreover, be aware that for most
purposes it is poor form to use resource-like class declarations. They do
have their purposes, but it is usually better form to bind data to classes
via Hiera than to bind it explicitly in the class declaration (whether via
node block or via ENC). Use the 'include' family of functions to declare
classes wherever it is feasible to do so.
