hi
i want to know in general what the caveats are when replicating ldap data with slurpd between openldap servers of different major versions. i would be especially interested in knowing if it is adviseable to replicate from a 2.3 master to 2.2 slaves (or the other way round). the reason for asking this is that i have noticed that in the present setup replication from 2.0 to 2.2 produces .rej files which are 10 times bigger than those resulting from "same generation" (2.0 <-> 2.0) replication. or are there any special configuration options for this situation?
2.3 to 2.2, and then switch to sync-repl as quick as you can (as you're really wasting your time with chasing slurpd problems sync-repl avoids).
Are you replicating multiple databases ? This can result in additional headaches with slurpd on 2.3 ... and you may actually prefer to migrate to sync-repl with proxying to the slaves (to expedite dumping slurpd).
