Re: Help needed with replication and ldapadd on version 2.2

Hello Buchan,

Thanks for the reply.

I am creating a new server (slave) with a script and need to populate it with all the masters data. Since this is part of an install of a software on remote machine, I wish not to copy files, but rather use ldap commands to populate the salve. This is why ldapadd is used.

In version 2.0.x this was made available (well it simply worked) and now, I guess the 2.2 version is more strict.

The need is quite complex, I notify the master about the new slave and only then should the salve be populated with current master's

Is there a way to make this work with different configuration or different commands?

Jonathan,

Why are you running ldapadd against a slave ?

This is understandable.

No.

No.

Slaves should not be written to except via the replication mechanism. For
slurpd-based replication, this means by:
1)slurpd, whether running as a daemon or in oneshot mode
2)ldapmodify, if you bind as the updatedn (to manually process failed
replication records)

Essentially, when operating as a slurpd-based slave, slapd only accepts writes
from the updatedn that have been generated by slapd for replication.

In both of these cases, the structuralObjectClass is provided (and other
operational attributes.

In short, it seems you're doing something you shouldn't be .... maybe you
should tell us what you are trying to accomplish ...

Regards,
Buchan
