Re: SyncRep - 1 provider : n consumer [auf Viren überprüft]

Hi!
Coming back to this ->
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200501/msg00375.html
where Howard Chu said:
"In practice this requirement is of little value and is contrary to
one of syncrepl's other design points - the provider is not supposed
to need to maintain any special state about individual consumers.
Verifying that the search parameters are identical between requests
would require the provider to maintain a list of all the syncrepl
requests it has received, and OpenLDAP doesn't do this."
Does it mean, it is not recommened to use n consumers with 1
SynRep-provider (for the same database)?
No, that is not what it means. A single provider can serve any number of
consumers. My point in the text above is that there is little value in
having the syncrepl provider validate the consumer's request cookie by
calculating a hash of all of the request parameters. Nothing is gained
by performing such a validation step, and OpenLDAP does not do that
validation.
If not, how should sid and rid be configured?
As I stated in the above referenced message, the OpenLDAP 2.2 syncrepl
design is flawed. The sessionlog was ineffective on the provider side
and there is no way to configure the sid in OpenLDAP 2.2 on the consumer
side.
Howard Chu said: "The sessionlog only looks at the sid, and the
provider and consumer sid must match."
Put one sessionlog-statement per consumer with individual sid in the
provider's slapd.conf? [But I can't see any Relation between the
consumer configured rid an the sessionlog-statement..]
There is no relation between the rid and the sid.
I suggest you switch to OpenLDAP 2.3 and forget everything you have ever
read about sid's in OpenLDAP 2.2. It was poorly conceived; none of it
made any sense. The notion of sid has been completely removed in
OpenLDAP 2.3, the syncrepl is significantly simplified now, and all of
this functionality actually works as intended.
