Hi,

My ldapmaster ContextCSN showing Junk Characters. Please advice how can reset to valid one.

contextCSN:: 0CKRuTQrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=

CentOS 5.8 Openldap Version is OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.43

Perhaps some unfortunate corruption bug, but seeing as OpenLDAP 2.3.43 was released 2008/07/16 there's a good chance you can get the appropriate bug fix just by upgrading. Somebody else has probably already contributed the hard work in the past eight years.

So upgrade to the latest version of OpenLDAP from www.openldap.org, and then any write to the database should write a fresh contextCSN...
