Hi Slave servers that are replicating changes using the refreshAndPersist operation type do not get updates from the master server until they are restarted. They will not be notified of any other changes. If I set the replication protocol operation type to refreshOnly and a suitable interval, the changes do get replicated as expected. I have verified that syncrepl with type=refreshAndPersist works with openldap2-2.2.24 and 2.2.27) also works as it should. However neither the 2.3.19-x (which is the current version on my platform - SLES 10, kernel 2.6.16) nor 2.3.30 work as expected. I have traversed the net and tried numerous configuration variations, but not found anything that changes the behavior. I always end up having to restart the slave to get the updates over. Needless to say that I have tried on different hardware (all x86-based) and all on complete fresh installations of the base OS. When loading the consumer/replica/slave, the apparently connects to the provider (Config: ** successfully added syncrepl "ldap://host1.nts.com:389";). There seems to be many people who have this working, but I have not yet been able to find a configuration example that works.
