I have 2.3.38 running on a provider and two consumers. Not every time, but most of the time, when I make an update to the provider, the consumers do not receive until I manually go there and restart the consumer, then all updates. I have loglevel set to 512 on both machines, is this enough to catch the problem. I have grep'd the debug.log on these FreeBSD machines and can't find any warn or error messages.
What is the best way for me to find the problem? Also, I'd like to know if by merely replacing the syncrepl parameters from slapd.conf with the overlay parameters, will this will make a consumer a master server in the event of the provider going down indefinitely? And then be able to redirect other consumers to this new provider?
To switch a consumer to master, you may configure mirror mode.
MirrorMode is not supported in 2.3.38, though it's available in OpenLDAP 2.4 (and Symas CDS). Of course, it may be worthwhile to upgrade to 2.4 to get this feature.
