Hello,

I am setting up multi-master replication between two openldap servers and when I try to add syncprov overlay to my second server I get this error:

# ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f 5_addSyncProv.ldif

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started

SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth

SASL SSF: 0

adding new entry "olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config"

ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)

additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax

Per the documentation (http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#N-Way Multi-Master) you are supposed to add syncprov to the configuration.

Here are the contents of the ldif file:

dn: olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config

changetype: add

objectClass: olcOverlayConfig

objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig

olcOverlay: syncprov

Both servers are running RHEL7 and openldap 2.4.40.

Please advise!

Thank you,

Liz
