RE: Syncrepl and mmr
When googling the error I found this:
http://serverfault.com/questions/474008/cant-write-to-openldap-shadow-context-no-update-referral
--Pasted Below--
Can't write to OpenLDAP: "shadow context; no update referral"
up vote 1 down vote favorite
I just set up an OpenLDAP server (v2.4.23) and loaded some data. I can browse and edit via Apache Directory Studio, but not deletions all fail.
For example, I tried to delete a list of DNs from a file:
ldapdelete -f rmroles.txt -W -D "cn=admin,cn=config"
but it dies with the message:
ldap_delete: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
additional info: shadow context; no update referral
Most of the info I've found suggests that this is related to replication, but I haven't set up replication on this server yet. olcReadOnly is FALSE, and I've set olcAccess to to * by * manage.
Any other ideas what could be wrong?

Apparently just having the olcMirrorMode attribute present on cn=config (even when set to FALSE) is enough to trigger shadow context. Delete the attribute and restart slapd.

Another contribution: I was defining olcMirrorMode on a separate "changetype: modify" in the end of the .ldif file. It does not seem to be a good idea. When I added the olcMirrorMode as part of the previous "changetype: modify" I as doing, it ran successfully. - Richard Gomes Oct 9 '13 at 21:49

For MMR Mode, MirrorMode must be set to TRUE. If it does not accept TRUE then there is something wrong with your configuration.
