slave slapd and referrals
Hello...
My question is about openldap and referrals. I am using
openldap 2.0.7 on Solaris 7.
I have one master slapd and one slave slapd set up.
Replication is provided for by the following lines in the
master's slapd.conf:
replica host=slave.myschool.edu "binddn=cn=root,dc=myschool,dc=edu" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret
replogfile /<openldap-path>/var/slapd.replog
and the following lines in the slave's slapd.conf:
updatedn "cn=root,dc=myschool,dc=edu"
updateref ldap://master.myschool.edu
Replication works fine when I do an ldapmodify on the master. The
replication happens properly on the master and is then propagated
to the slave.
When I do an ldapmodify on the slave, my understanding is that slapd
should return a referral to the server specified by the "updateref"
line in the slave's slapd.conf. However, slapd just goes ahead and
processes the modify and does not return a referral at all. Looking
at the slave's logs after I do an ldapmodify from the command line,
I see:
Dec 1 17:13:06 slave.myschool.edu slapd[20797]: daemon: conn=4 fd=16 connection from IP=127.0.0.1:45340 (IP=129.1.1.0:389) accepted.

Dec 1 17:13:16 slave.myschool.edu slapd[20797]: conn=-1 fd=16 closed
There's no activity on the master at all--the slave processes the modify
and seems not to care at all that it's supposed to return a referral
and let the master do the update.
I know that openldap tools don't chase referrals, but according to the
log the slave slapd is not even issuing a referral.
I will appreciate any input. Thanks!
