Hi!
Sorry for this stupid question:
One argument for delta-syncrepl is that changing a small part of a large
object is much more efficient, because pnly the changed data is logged and transferred.
However with a multi-valued attributer like pwdHistory the accesslog entry
contains all the unchanged values also. E.g.:
You don't need to replicate the reqOld attribute.
[Windl, Ulrich] I'm not reading the latest admin guide, but maybe there should be a note about accesslog and delta-syncrepl then. I used "olcAccessLogOld: (objectClass=*)" here.
Doesn’t that “cancel” the gain in efficiency?
Kind regards,
Ulrich Windl
