Help Needed with mirrormode configuration in 2.4.6 - openldap-software

10 Dec 2007


      Hi,
  Im using OpenLDAP 2.4.6 and trying to use the mirrormode and syncrepl.
  My setup has 2 LDAP nodes, one as master and other as slave through a VIP.
  When the master goes down, the slave will become master and vice-versa.
  At any point to keep both the LDAP in sync I want to use mirror mode and syncrepl and Im using the following conf file.
database        bdb
  directory       $MMAIL_VAR_DIR/ldap/ipu-mail-ldap
  suffix          "o=mereonmail"
  rootdn          "cn=admin,o=mereonmail"
  rootpw          secret
  index           objectClass,entryCSN,entryUUID pres,eq
  index           mail,cn      eq,sub
overlay syncprov
  syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
  syncprov-sessionlog 100
syncrepl      rid=1
          provider=ldap://${MMAIL_LDAP_PEER_HOSTNAME}:$MMAIL_LDAP_PORT
          bindmethod=simple
          binddn="cn=admin,o=mereonmail"
          credentials=ipunity
          filter="(objectClass=*)"
          searchbase="o=mereonmail"
          schemachecking=on
          type=refreshAndPersist
          interval=00:00:00:01
          retry="60 +"
mirrormode on
But with the above conf file an the both the nodes ( rid = 2  on the other node2), the replication does not seem to work.
  Suppose, node1 (master) has 2 add entires, these entries does not come in the slave. Also when I restart the slave, the entries in the master LDAP is deleted.
  Please let me know the correct conf  for Mirrormode and sync repl. Also would like to know if OpenLDAP 2.4.6 supports mirrormode?
  IThanks in advance for your help.
