RE: "no operational structural attributes" when update on slaveldap

["Vito Chan" <vito.chan@hk.so-net.com.hk>]

Thanks for your information. I have included those 2 lines in the
slapd.conf of the slave LDAP as the documentation mentions.

I have included the below 2 lines (Just follow the official
documentation )

 updatedn          "cn=admin,dc=server,dc=com"
 updateref         ldap://master.server.com

Also, I suppose that when I update the slave LDAP, the changes will
redirect to the master server and the master server update it and slurpd
will replicate those changes to the slave.

Thanks and Regards,

Vito

You are not supposed to directly make updates to the slave. Only slurpd
should be allowed. Regular clients are only allowed to make updates on
the
master. This is why it's called the "master" in the first place - the
master
database is always most up to date and is therefore authoritative. You
should
have an updateref on the slave that points to the master, so that
clients
attempting to update the slave will be redirected to the master.
