Re: (ITS#7258) Possible suffixmassage and syncrepl bug

Full_Name: Jon C. Kidder Version: 2.4.30 OS: rhel 5.0 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (167.239.77.30) Gentlemen, I need some help. I've been working on a problem for a couple of weeks and I can't seem to find a solution. I have encountered at least one bug and possibly two. I am building a new directory for my company using OpenLDAP 2.4.30 and BDB 5.3.15. I am trying to pull in records from a foreign directory and map them into my directory. All of the foreign records are proxied into 3 child nodes of my directory. I am able to do this successfully using back-ldif and overlay-rwm. The problem I am encountering is that I have setup multi-master replication of the entire new directory with a filter to exclude the proxied nodes because each of my directory servers independently proxies those nodes. When the replication starts syncrepl causes an ABEND on every node that attempts replication. I have discovered that the ABEND occurs because my filter does not work and syncrepl is trying to replicate the proxied records. I have also discovered that my filter is not working because rwm-suffixmassage does not appear to be rewriting the entryDN of my proxied records. If my entryDN problem is configuration related I could use some help figuring it out. I am still submitting this as a bug because even if the entryDN problem is not a bug syncrepl should detect the replication/proxy conflict and abort the replication gracefully rather than ABEND the directory server. I love the work the OpenLDAP team is doing. I am a very strong advocate of open source products at my company. I would love to take a deep dive into the code and resolve this issue myself but unfortunately can not. I am an administrator/operator by day and a single parent of 6 year old triplet boys by night. I am not afforded as many opportunities to exercise my development skills as I would like. Any assistance the OpenLDAP team can render would be greatly appreciated. I can try to build a complete test suite that will allow recreation/testing of these 2 issues if needed.
