Issue ID: 9742 Summary: syncprov-nopresent is harmful Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: ondra@mistotebe.net Target Milestone: ---
If setting up a new delta-MPR environment such that: - server A has been slapadd-ed the seed data - accesslog is set to "logops all"
There is a sequence of events where servers are started and replicate from each other before they get a chance to talk to A, they will each generate a CSN and replicate it. Once they start talking to A, it will see that it has a CSN (its own) that none of them have sent and "syncprov-nopresent" makes it just go ahead where the only sane outcome is to send SYNC_REFRESH_REQUIRED.
Am I missing a usecase for this or should it just have been this way all along?
