I'm running OpenLDAP 2.4.17 with 3 servers configured in multi-master
mode (server 1 replicates to server 2 and server 3, server 2 replicates
to server 1 and server 3, and server 3 replicates to server 1 and server
2). While executing shell scripts to test replication, all 3 slapd
instances began returning error code 32 to all requests. No information
could be retrieved from any of the 3 LDAP servers using ldapsearch,
Apache Directory Studio, LDAP Administrator tool, or the LDAP Browser
tool. The slapd log records with debug level = sync contained numerous
"findbase failed! 32" errors. Starting and restarting the slapd
instances still resulted in error code 32 being returned for any LDAP
request. I had to restore the LDAP databases to be able to view/update
records in any of the 3 LDAP databases.
