When : when a replica replicates its entire cn=config from a provider, and the configuration has gluing databases.

Suppose you have into your config backend the following :

8<-------- dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider=ldap://1.2.3.4/ binddn="cn=config" bin dmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPer sist retry="5 +" timeout=3 olcSyncrepl: {1}rid=002 provider=ldap://1.2.3.5/ binddn="cn=config" bin dmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPer sist retry="5 +" timeout=3 [...]

dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config [...]

dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config olcSuffix: o=1,o=2 olcSubordinate: TRUE [...]

dn: olcDatabase={3}bdb,cn=config olcSuffix: o=2 [...]

dn: olcOverlay={0}glue,olcDatabase={3}bdb,cn=config [...] 8<--------

slaptest passes successfully, and OpenLDAP starts.

When a new provider joins the N-Way Multi-Master replication, it replicates all the configuration from the primary provider (which is indicated in its minimalistic configuration).

But, the replication failed on the following error :

8<-------- Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_search (0) Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: glue: no superior found for sub o=1,o=2! Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: olcSubordinate: value #0: <olcSubordinate> handler exited with 32! Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: null_callback : error code 0x50 Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_add (80) Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_add failed (80)

Feb 5 18:25:04 server2 slapd[6202]: do_syncrepl: rid=001 retrying 8<--------

It appears that ldap's backend which is subordinate to an other backend should be declared after this gluing database. This is exactly the contrary on how works slapd.conf.
