Hi, I am trying to configure OpenLDAP in mirror mode.
From what I understood, the documentation suggests having two servers configured in mirror mode, plus a set of replicas. (As shown in the diagram at the end of the page at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Configuring%20the%2 0different%20replication%20types)
The documentation suggests that the backend LDAP module can be used as the load balancer. Nevertheless the documentation is missing the sections on configuring this module. http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/backends.html#LDAP
a) I am assuming the replicas are just read-only replicas. Right? b) If a client requires to write to the directory, how are these request forwarded to the active mirror? c) Does anyone knows how to configure the LDAP backend to act as a proxy? d) Is mirror mode mature? Is it ready for production use?
Any help or pointers are appreciated.
