Hello,

A syncrepl with a searchbase of "dc=foo,dc=bar" is working fine but

not with a empty/null "" searchbase. On the provider side I have the

following error "is_entry_objectclass("", "2.5.17.0") no objectClass attribute"

and on the consumer I have "do_syncrep2: rid=002 (32) No such object".

ldapsearch -LLL -h foo.bar -p 389 -x -D 'cn=syncrepl,dc=foo,dc=bar' -w '*****' -b '' -s sub '(objectclass=*)' '*' '+'

Do not have any issue to retrieve the full DIT(s) and is able to find the

sub of root object.

Is it possible to replicate an null/empty searchbase with syncrepl ?

If not how can I replicate part of a null/empty searchbase setup on a provider ?

Best Regards,

Guy Baconniere

I am running OpenLDAP slapd 2.4.11 on Debian Lenny.
