Hi,

I am trying to setup and test the mirror mode replication using OpenLDAP 2.4.7. I setup a very simple test with two hosts running OpenLDAP servers (host openldap1 (port 1389) and host openldap2 (port 2389)). I set up the replication in the slapd.conf file so that openldap1 replicates to openldap2 and vice versa. I specified 'mirrormode on' for both hosts. I have not been able to get the simple mirrormode replication test to work.

My test consisted of the following: 1. Both openldap hosts start with an empty database 2. Added a user on openldap1 using ldap_add 3. Waited a few minutes to ensure the new user was replicated to host openldap2. This was successful. 4. Added a second user and modified an attribute of the first user on host openldap1. This was successful. 5. After a few minutes, the 2nd user and the attribute change was removed from host openldap1.

Since this very basic test failed, I am certain that I have misunderstood the configuration or setup of mirrormode replication. I would appreciate if someone could point out my configuration error.

I have included the parts of the slapd.conf file where replication is configured.

Host openldap1(port 1389) contains the following in its slapd.conf file:

overlay syncprov

syncrepl rid=1 provider=ldap://openldap2:2389 type=refreshOnly interval=00:00:05:00 searchbase="dc=domain,dc=com" bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=com" credentials=secret retry="60 +"

mirrormode on

Host openldap2(port 2389) contains the following in its slapd.conf file:

overlay syncprov

syncrepl rid=2 provider=ldap://openldap1:1389 type=refreshOnly interval=00:00:05:00 searchbase="dc=domain,dc=com" bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=com" credentials=secret retry="60 +"

mirrormode on

Thanks in advance for any responses...
