Hello openldap community,
I have openldap 2.4.6 running on 2 machines.

I now have set up a second machine also running openldap 2.4.6
and I've
been
playing around with it trying to get it to act as a syncrepl consumer.
I remember reading somewhere in the openldap documentation that
it should
be
fairly straight forward with a simple 10-12 line LDIF file to get the synrepl consumer synched up with the provider.
Can someone please post an example of such a simple kickstart file? Thanks ^6,
Sounds vaguely like you want this (from <A HREF="http://www.openldap.org/pub/hyc/LDAPcon2007s.pdf" target="l">http://www.openldap.org/pub/hyc/LDAPcon2007s.pdf</A> page 20)

Slapadding this will fully initialize a new server if you point it at an existing provider, but of course you need to have the syncprov overlay configured on the config database of the provider.
See test049 in the test suite for a more detailed example.
Yes, that is what I am interested in.
I added the syncprov overlay to the cn=config directive on the PROVIDER as such:
cn=config olcDatabase={0}config olcOverlay={0}syncprov
Now on a brand new CONSUMER machine I created the following LDIF file (sync-seed.ldif):
dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config
dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcRootDN: cn=ldapadmin,cn=config olcRootPW: {SSHA}mysoopersecretpasswd olcsyncrepl: rid=001 provider=ldap://my.provider.machine binddn="cn=ldapadmin,cn=config" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshOnly interval=00:00:00:10
I then put the file in my openldap dir and cd there: cd /usr/local/etc/openldap mkdir slapd.d slapadd -b "cn=config" -F slapd.d -l sync-seed.ldif
all is OK
I then start slapd: /usr/sbin/slapd -d 256 ... slapd starting syncrepl_message_to_entry: rid=001 mods check (olcDbConfig: value #6 provided more than once) do_syncrepl: rid=001 quitting
Hmmm what have I done wrong?
Thanks, Scott
