Hello,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes i'm using also the CA path attribute to specify my CA trust chain. So has you said, i will use the same path on each nodes.
Thanks again!

Dear List,
i'm using N-Way multimaster replication with 2 servers (i will use it on 30 servers soon). Each server is using it's own certificate, so the content of TLSCertificateFile and TLSCertificateKeyFile is different in the cn=config of each of them.
My problem is that cn=config is replicated on all servers, including TLSCertificateFile and TLSCertificateKeyFile... therefore the replication obviously not working (the certificate and key path of the first server are replicated on the second server).
I know there is some solutions to workaround this "issue", like:
- Don't replicate cn=config
- Use the same certificate and key for all servers
- Use the same certificate and key path in cn=config (ex:
/etc/openldap/cert/common_cert_name.pem and /etc/openldap/cert/common_cert_name.key) and then make symlinks to the correct files on the local server
but I would avoid this type of solutions if possible, so i would like to know if there is a solution to avoid to replicate TLSCertificateFile and TLSCertificateKeyFile, or other trick?
Every server must be able to validate the cert of the other MMR nodes. For that, it would be easiest to use the CA path attribute (vs file attribute). For the cert setup for the servers themselves, generally yes, you can work around that by having the same path to the cert on each node.
