Hi,
I'm trying to set up replication between my master and a slave.
In slapd.conf on the slave, I have included the updatedn and updateref parameters:
updatedn "cn=Replicator,o=linfield.edu" updateref ldap://oberon.linfield.edu
I presume that the ref refers to the slave so I have entered the URL for the slave which seems odd because you have to be able to access the slave to get the updateref. The other thing is that I find no parameter in the man page for slapd.conf or googling for the password.
updateref URI refers to the master.
On the master, I have:
replica host=oberon.linfield.edu:389 binddn="cn=Replicator,,o=linfield.edu" bindmethod=simple This entry should include "credentials=". If I've no place to specify a password for the updatedn on the slave, what do I put for credentials
updatedn is an entry on the slave, access control rules must allow updatedn to write on the database.
