Today it's so easy to set up two virtual machines with your favourite OS and work through the replication chapter in the admin guide. http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html You mentioned Debian. I'd recommend not to use the Debian packages and compile OpenLDAP 2.4.36+ yourself instead. Ciao, Michael.Well, that does not look so easy to me (that's why I'm asking for help :) ), specially considering that I already have a working LDAP working with several hundreds users relying on them to do their work, so it's not possible to me to start from scratch, I have to use what I already have (and not break anything in the process).
For the reason above, I can't compile OpenLDAP myself (I have to use what is already there).
thinking you are going to implement change in a production environment without breaking anything is crazy, given that you have little to no working knowledge on the subject. you have to find a non-prod environment to work out the details in.
some resources i found (in addition to the admin guide already suggested): http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/ldap/ldap-setup-1202.html
the above helped me with some of the replication details. the article is dated (old), but you want to understand the concepts at this point, not the details yet.
http://www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO.html
the above helped with some of the integration of other services, such as kerberos and sasl. some other details covered might help you.
most important things are to read and test.
