Buchan,

Thanks for the info. It worked!!
I have a small query here,

Now, how would I know if the consumer is actually replicating from the provider?
I tried to query from the consumer, but nothing resulted in the search.
Any pointers?

Thanks,
Imran

It doesn't seem to try and load the syncprov.la ...

... assuming there was no copy/paste error here, probably because the critical
configuration lines above have leading spaces, which, as documented in the
slapd.conf man page, are used for line continuations on long configuration
lines.

Remove the leading spaces, and you should see syncprov being loaded. You may
want to check that you don't have invalid leading spaces in the rest of your
config, I didn't look at the rest carefully.
