I am newbie, I am trying to configure Syncrepl beetwen 2 OpenLDAP servers. I have read FAQ, Admin's guide, mailing lists, but I didn't find any answer about my problem.
The master server is on 192.168.1.255 subnet and is working fine. Now I am triyng to replicate it to another server in 192.168.123.255 subnet.
Replication from provider to consumer works good (if I write an entry in provider, it will be replicated to consumer), but if I try to write to consumer (ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=DOMAIN -W -f file.ldif) I get only this answer:
adding new entry "cn=newentry,dc=DOMAIN" ldap_add: Referral (10) referrals: ldap://192.168.1.100/cn=newentry,dc=DOMAIN
This is correct. The consumer answers a write operation request with a referral. It is up to the client to follow this referral. ldapadd is not able to follow referrals.
but nothing appears in provider's log and LDAP databases.
Why should you find anything in the providers log?
How can configure Syncrepl in order to write to consumer and replicate entries to provider too?
There is nothing to configure, just use a proper client application or read man slapo-chain(5)
