Replication of LDAP extended operations

["Erco Argante \(RY/ETM\)" <erco.argante@ericsson.com>]

Hi,

I've configured a master slapd for replication, which nicely produces
entries in the replication log file for LDAP add/modify/delete
operations. However, when the master slapd receives an LDAP extended
operation (that modifies the LDAP DIT), which is successfully processed,
no entry is made in the replication log file. Consequently, slurpd will
not send the LDAP extended operation to slave slapd's and the slave DITs
will not be updated.

"Man slapd.replog(5)" does not mention anything about LDAP extended
operations.

Have I made an error and should this normally work?

Is it a deliberate choice of Open LDAP to not implement this
functionality, or might this functionality be added in future slapd
implementations?

Is there a workaround for this problem other than not using LDAP
extended operations?

Best Regards,

Erco
