Hi Jens, Thanks. Do I do that like so:- 1. Master LINUX : slapcat > Mcomp.ldif 2. Slave LINUX: slapcat > Scomp.ldif 3. New Master LINUX: slapadd -l Mcomp.ldif 4. New Slave LINUX: slapadd -l Scomp.ldif or is step 2 & 4 irrelevant as the configuration in slapd master would ensure the slave is updated automatically ? Next question in relation to migration as well, say I have 3 sub-tree ......... but one sub-tree can only be accessed by user entries under this sub-tree with password. In the old machine, i used ldappasswd to set the entries under that sub-tree. So do i do the same once the slapadd action is complete ? .sakthi |
