Hello, there are some examples of n-way replication configuration examples around and I would like to ask for some authoritative configuration advice. test050 for example gives the impression that serverID parameter has to be multivalued at each configuration file, i.e. in a 3-way replication:
serverID 1 $URL1 serverID 2 $URL2 serverID 3 $URL3
test050 configures replication on both the cn=config tree and a user database. As such, all server configurations will be made identical once replication starts. So, they all need to know about all 3 servers at the outset. If you're not replicating cn=config, then this isn't necessary.
same applies to replication ID, it seems that sid and rid have some mutual relation, and all participating hosts should be aware of all rids, i.e. in a 3-way replication:
No. As the documentation clearly says, rids only need to be unique within a particular slapd configuration. rids in one server have absolutely no relation to rids in any other server.
