Re: 回复： mirror mode question

Hi Michael and Dieter, I see the below mail, can I understand only the mirror mode replication can’t use the HASH password in rootpw, other Synchronous replication mode(example: syncrepl proxy) can use the HASH password?

Well, if working with SASL and TLS (LDAPS, StartTLS) one should consider using client certs and SASL/EXTERNAL for replication. Ciao, Michael.
