Out of curiosity.

Hi Dave,

No, the issue is specific to slapo-memberof and it's need to cross manage both members and the groups. In a replicated environment during a full REFRESH, entries are sent in creation order. This is problematic for slapo-memberOf because it may get a "group" object replicated prior to some of the entries that are members of that group. In that situation, the "memberOf" attribute will not get tacked onto those member entries since memberOf can't find them in the database. Additionally, if it is configured for referential integrity, it could remove those members from the group (again since it has no knowledge of their existence).

Warm regards,
Quanah
