Re: Syncrepl issues, "glue" objectClass



Hi Quanah,

Thanks for the reply- in the meantime is there any way I can apply some "first-aid" to work around the issue and make the ghost OUs appear as expected?
I've also asked a similar question on the Grouper mailing list as it may be a case of "garbage in, garbage out".

The behaviour of OpenLDAP is a little bit odd as well though so I'll file an ITS.

Cheers,

Mark
