We are using OpenLDAP 2.3.33 in a master/slave setup with slurpd and hdb backend.
When performing the modrdn operation against the master, no update directives for the attributes 'modifiersName', 'modifyTimestamp', and 'entryCSN' are written to the replog file. Hence, the databases of master and slave differ by the values of these attributes after replication.
This bug can be reproduced using e.g. the ldapmodrdn tool. OpenLDAP versions back to (at least) 2.3.24 are affected.
This is not a bug, it is a consequence of the design of slurpd. slurpd uses LDIF (RFC2849) for its replog format, and simply propagates LDAP operations as recorded there. In LDIF a modrdn record can only specify newrdn, deleteoldrdn, and newsuperior parameters. Likewise, these are the only parameters that can be specified in an LDAP modrdn operation. This design limitation is one of many reasons why slurpd has been deprecated.
If you want to perform replication and preserve these attributes, you can use syncrepl instead.
