check that you have not forgotten "overlay syncrepl" on the master that is printing that error

that's one case where i've seen this error, does not mean it's your problem though..

i interpret that message as meaning it's getting a client request to do syncrepl, but the server is saying it does not know what syncrepl is. if not that could be a configuration issue do do with syncrepl ?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having with an ldap server that stopped replicating with log entries like:

do_syncrep2: rid=002 got search entry without Sync State control do_syncrepl: rid=001 retrying

So can anyone tell me what "got search entry without sync state control" means? I could only find 1 other reference to someone who had this error but nothing was mentioned about what this means. I'm running openldap ver. 2.4.9 in a multimaster setup (2 servers) on Ubuntu hardy. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the responses. So I was missing the overlay declaration in the slapd.conf file but now I'm running into another problem that no else seems to have either. Here are the log messages:

Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY(LDAP_SYNC_ADD) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: dn_callback : entries have identical CSN dc=example,dc=com 20080623052654.050277Z#000000#000#000000 Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_search (0) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 dc=example,dc=com Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 entry unchanged, ignored (dc=example,dc=com) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY(LDAP_SYNC_ADD) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_search (0) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: Entry (cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com): object class 'simpleSecurityObject' requires attribute 'userPassword' Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: entry failed schema check: object class 'simpleSecurityObject' requires attribute 'userPassword' Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: null_callback : error code 0x41 Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_modify (65) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_modify failed (65) Sep 12 10:46:35 ldap3 slapd[27342]: do_syncrepl: rid=001 retrying

The "rootdn" and "rootpw" are set so I'm not sure which password would be missing. Also, the weird thing is that replication worked for a while, I only ever populated one server and it was replicated over to the consumer even without the overlay declaration.

overlay syncprov, and the error is printed on the consumer, not the master.

It means the consumer sent a syncrepl request but didn't get any sync info in the reply. It almost always means there was no syncprov overlay configured on the master.
