Hi,

After series of trial and error I finally get it working. The following configuration works for openldap-2.4.16:

overlay chain chain-uri "ldap://server.group" #chain-uri "ldaps:///server.group" - not working at all[1]? chain-idassert-bind bindmethod=sasl         saslmech=EXTERNAL         binddn="cn=whatever"         #starttls=yes/critical - even this?         tls_cert=/etc/ldap/ssl/replicator-cert.pem         tls_key=/etc/ldap/ssl/replicator-key.pem         tls_cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/mgoc-cacert.pem         tls_reqcert=demand         mode=self chain-tls start chain-idassert-authzFrom "*" chain-return-error         TRUE

$ ldappasswd -x -D 'uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group' -w1234 -sguest

from the master you may something like this one:

Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 PROXYAUTHZ dn="uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group" Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 EXT oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1 Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 PASSMOD new Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 RESULT oid= err=0 text=

on the slave:

Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group" method=128 Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=guest,ou=Users,dc=server,dc=group" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 EXT oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1 Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 PASSMOD new Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 RESULT oid= err=0 text=

Thanks for all the people that tried to help me.

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is change the password[1] of user guest to see if my chain overlay will work with saslmech=external. Referring from this email[2] this should be working. But I'm a bit I confused cause I can't get this working while my syncrepl is working well. TIA

As I said, by using the "-x" mechanism, you are completely disabling SASL. Thus no SASL/EXTERNAL method is going to work.
