With multimaster config replication, it starts by replicating itself (useless, but necessary for other masters). This problem doesn't appear in the test case, since a variable ($URI1) is used for both the slapd -h $URI1 option, and in the syncrepl provider=$URI1 LDIF. Otherwise it would produce weird results.

I'm referring to syncrepl provider matching to listeners. I mentioned the serverID matching since it seems to work like syncrepl provider matching should. Regards, Jonathan

Re: (ITS#5941) Problem when stacking rwm and translucent overlays together
by ando＠sys-net.it 12 Feb '09

The problem can be easily reproduced, no need for further testing. However, I don't see an easy and clear fix right now. In the meanwhile, you should stack something in between to obtain the desired result. Having another proxy in between that deals with rwm could help. p. Ing.

For the serverID code, we're doing a liberal match because anything that matches the current name:port is obviously the current server, and we want it to be identified as such. For syncrepl, we know full well that it may be the current server, but for whatever reason you may want to replicate against yourself anyway (e.g., against a different baseDN, etc...). -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

I was thinking of the serverID code, and you're talking about the syncrepl code. I'll have to think a bit about why the two aren't behaving identically; probably they should both use the same code. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
