This may sound like a strange question, but couldn't seem to find =3D the answer in the docs:

Would the global =3D "idletimeout" parameter interfere with 'refreshAndPersist' operations in =3D any way?

I ask because I have had yet another =3D instance where my three production consumers did not get a series of =3D updates that it should have.  This was hours after successfully =3D adding an accesslog database to all Provider servers in =3D question.

When querying the log =3D database:

ldapsearch -b cn=3D3Dlog -xD uid=3D3Dlog,cn=3D3Dlog -w logpassword -s sub -= H =3D ldap://ldap-provider-in-question= =3D

I see that the records-in-question were in =3D fact updated as they should have .... but there's absolutely no =3D information hinting towards WHY a remote server would fail to get =3D updates (especially when all LDAP traffic in between the said-hosts is =3D unrestricted and unmoderated).  Hence why I began to scrutinize the =3D 'idletimeout' parameter (previously set to 45 seconds, now has been =3D removed entirely from all Providers AND Consumers =3D alike).

Still looking at, testing and =3D contemplating this whole situation ... I'll keep you posted, but am =3D curious if anyone has any input to my question above, =3D thanks.

That's not correct. =3D The accesslog overlay can always be used for logging purposes. It is =3D just that using it for multimaster delta-syncrepl is not yet =3D supported.
