Hi!

Reading https://kb.symas.com/en_US/configuration/configure-delta-syncrepl I realized that my syncprov is on the original database, not on the accesslog.

So I tried to fix it my “moving” the overlay like this:

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

changetype: moddn

newrdn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov

deleteoldrdn: 1

newsuperior: olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config

However as I got  "ldap_rename: Server is unwilling to perform (53)" I wonder:

Is my LDIF wrong, or is it an implementation restriction?

Hi Ulrich,

Did you try delete + add?

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

dn: olcOverlay=syncrpov,olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config changetype: add ...[etc]...
