Ah, that is pretty annoying. I am now reserving 255 bytes, but the information density of the cookies does not seem to be very high (my totally uninformed guess). Can you say a bit more on how fast they grow?

My scenario is an old remote openldap master which syncs to a more modern local openldap sever (using the old sync mechanism). The local openldap server is then used to run syncrepl queries against.

Regards, Erik.

I need to store syncrepl cookies in a database. What is the maximum length for a cookie that is issued by open ldap?

There's no upper bound on the size. In a multimaster scenario, the more servers there are, the bigger the cookie may grow.
