"With syncrepl, a consumer server can create a replica without changing provider's configurations and without restarting the provider server, if the consumer server has appropriate access privileges for the DIT fragment to be replicated. The consumer server can stop the replication also without the need for provider-side changes and restart."
This means that you can add consumer servers to an existing architecture without having to modify the master's configuration to add each one (this was not the case with the previous replication system, slurpd).
But then you say:
You need to modify the master's configuration to use syncrepl. If you really can't, you cant' use syncrepl, and will have to look into alternatives to get your data out.
Hope this helps,
I understand what you're saying but doesn't that mean the documentation is wrong because it says I don't have to change the providers configuration. -mark
