Hello -

I've had provider-consumer configuration working all right for about a month. Today I had to upgrade OS (RedHat 5) and restart services. After that one of my consumers failed with the following errors:

Jan 24 19:32:54 rome slapd[2236]: do_syncrep2: rid=012 LDAP_RES_INTERMEDIATE - SYNC_ID_SET Jan 24 19:33:05 rome last message repeated 11 times

This is not an error or a failure. It just means the consumer is receiving a list of entry IDs from the provider. Read the syncrepl docs in the Admin Guide and/or RFC4533.

And then started to delete records:

To fix the problem I had to copy database from the provider to consumer and then restart that consumer. So what does that error mean and how to avoid it in the future?

OpenLdap 2.4.13 DB 4.6-21

Thanks.
