[Irfaz <irfazs@huawei.com>]

Hi ,
          I am trying to use a simple LDAP client server system.......LDAP
server running with minimum configurations as given in  slapd.conf
file.....My aim is to test LDAP sync feature for Client
notification.....Please provide me some sample test code to test sync APis
and some slapd.conf files required for the same........

That API is experimental, so do not expect it to work seamlessly.  As 
far as I know there is no publicly available code sample (although, I 
concur, some ought to be made available...).

In any case, it expects a server configured to work as a provider; see 
slapo-syncprov(5) and the Admin Guide for instructions about setting up 
slapd as a provider.
