Re: OpenLDAP Replication

slapd.conf for replica should look like this ( I think)

SLAPD.CONF for Replica:
###############################
database bdb
suffix  "o=myorg,c=US"
directory C:\\DATA\\Replica\\
rootdn  cn=Mgr,o=myorg,c=US
rootpw  secret
updatedn cn=Replica,o=myorg,c=US
updateref ldap://ADDRESS-OF-MASTER:389
##################################

I'm relatively new in OpenLDAP and need your help to solve the problem
with OpenLDAP replication.
 
Here is my problem description:
I'm using openldap-2.1.30.
I'm trying to write to Replica(Slave) and I'm expecting that Replica will 
return referral
to Master. The Client (oldap32.lib) will automatically resend update 
request to the Master and Master will update its database, write the 
updates to the Replog file and SLURPD will bind to Replica and update 
Replicas database.
But this mechanism is broken at the beginning. The Client receives 
referral, and exits with the error message:
 
*****************************************
ldap_perror
ldap_add: Referral (10)
        referrals:
                ldap://localhost:389/o=myorg,c=US
ldap_unbind
ldap_free_request (origid 2, msgid 2)
ldap_free_connection
ldap_send_unbind;
...
*******************************************
 
SLAPD.CONF for Master:
###########################
database bdb
suffix  "o=myorg,c=US"
rootdn  "cn=Mgr,o=myorg,c=US"
rootpw  secret
directory C:\\DATA\\Master
replogfile C:\\DATA\\Master\\slapd.replog
replica  host=ldap://localhost:9010
  binddn="cn=Replica,o=myorg,c=US"
  bindmethod=simple
  credentials=secret
###############################
 
SLAPD.CONF for Replica:
###############################
database bdb
suffix  "o=myorg,c=US"
directory C:\\DATA\\Replica\\
rootdn  cn=Mgr,o=myorg,c=US
rootpw  secret
updatedn cn=Replica,o=myorg,c=US
updateref ldap://localhost:389
##################################
 
The commands that I'm running:
 
slapd -h ldap://localhost:389  - for Master
slapd -h ldap://localhost:9010 - for Replica
 
and
ldapmodify -a -x -h localhost:9010 -D "cn=Mgr,o=myorg,c=US" -w secret -f 
data.LDIF ;
 
Could you please help me?
May be I misunderstood the documentation and my expectation that Client 
should
automatically redirect request to the Master is wrong? 
Or may be someting wrong with my CONF files?
 
Thank you in advance,
Alex.
