Hi,
I'd like to use SyncReplication on some Notebooks with local ldap
servers to be updated whenever they connect to the Home LAN.
Unfortunately, the syncrepl directive uses a fixed time interval.
I would need a way to run the replication on request and only on
request, i.e.
- run when the notebook is connected to the home lan, whatever
time
- do not run when the notebook is not connected to the home lan
The best way would be to run replication only when triggered through
an external command.
Any way to achieve that?
regards
Hadmut

Hm, I can't think of anything that will allow this in the current code.
But it sounds like a good idea, you should file an enhancement request
in the ITS.
One way to do this right now would be to setup a 2nd slapd that uses
back-ldap to talk to the local replica, and uses syncrepl to talk to the
master. Then your "external command" should simply start this 2nd slapd
when the LAN is available, and kill it when the LAN is disconnected.

I'd be most interested in this too, especially if it can be extended to
2.4's multi-mastering (update the laptop in the field, and sync it with
the server when I get home etc).

I assume you are just trying to solve the "authenticate to laptop when not
connected" problem.
I usually just use pam_ccreds and nss_updatedb/nss_db for this.
However, have you tried using *both* interval and retry in refreshAndPersist
mode? I think it should work sufficiently (except for unnecessary network
connection attempts).

I'm not sure that this makes sense...I'm pretty sure that 'interval' is
used only with refreshOnly. But I agree that the concept in general is sound.
