Re: replica uri support
Post for the original patch which was merged into cvs:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200306/msg00302.html
>From the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/replication.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.4.5. Configure the master slapd for replication
To configure slapd to generate a replication logfile, you add a " replica" configuration option to the master slapd's config file. For example, if we wish to propagate changes to the slapd instance running on host slave.example.com:
replica uri=ldap://slave.example.com:389
binddn="cn=Replicator,dc=example,dc=com"
bindmethod=simple credentials=secret
In this example, changes will be sent to port 389 (the standard LDAP port) on host slave.example.com. The slurpd process will bind to the slave slapd as "cn=Replicator,dc=example,dc=com" using simple authentication with password "secret".
If we wish to perform the same replication using ldaps on port 636:
replica uri=ldaps://slave.example.com:636
binddn="cn=Replicator,dc=example,dc=com"
bindmethod=simple credentials=secret
The host option is deprecated in favor of uri, but the following replica configuration is still supported:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another mailing list post regarding Slurpd over SSL:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200311/msg00442.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port 636 is the default LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) port. As already noted, you
cannot use the LDAP StartTLS request over SSL. If you want slurpd to use SSL,
you must not specify TLS in the replica configuration.
If you're using OpenLDAP 2.1.23 you can use a URI in the replica
configuration, and specify ldaps there. e.g., instead of
replica host=foo.bar.domain:636
use
replica uri=ldaps://foo.bar.domain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And last but not least, the slapd.conf manpage:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
replica uri=ldap[s]://<hostname>[:port]|host=<hostname>[:port]
[tls=yes|critical] [suffix=<suffix> [...]]
bindmethod=simple|sasl [binddn=<simple DN>] [credentials=<simple
password>] [saslmech=<SASL mech>] [secprops=<properties>]
[realm=<realm>] [authcId=<authentication ID>]
[authzId=<authorization ID>] [attr[!]=<attr list>]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So.. That being said, anyone else have any input on this?
