Hi,
I'm trying to set up replication between my master and a slave.
In slapd.conf on the slave, I have included the updatedn and updateref parameters:
updatedn "cn=Replicator,o=linfield.edu" updateref ldap://oberon.linfield.edu
I presume that the ref refers to the slave so I have entered the URL for the slave which seems odd because you have to be able to access the slave to get the updateref. The other thing is that I find no parameter in the man page for slapd.conf or googling for the password.
On the master, I have:
replica host=oberon.linfield.edu:389 binddn="cn=Replicator,,o=linfield.edu" bindmethod=simple
This entry should include "credentials=". If I've no place to specify a password for the updatedn on the slave, what do I put for credentials?
Could somebody please fill in the holes?
Thanks, Rob

updateref URI refers to the master.

updatedn is an entry on the slave, access control rules must allow updatedn to write on the database.

Also, watch out for the extra , in your binddn line in case that is not a type/paste-o
