Hi,

I have 2  Openldaps  that are configured for replication one is on site, the other is a remote.  They are connected via a VPN tunnel and every time there is a connection problem between the two  the replication fails, but I have to  stop the services on the remote, delete the database and start a fresh replication.   Is there a way that I can configure the remote to force it to re-synch  without having to delete the database and start all over again?

This is what I see in the log after connection gets re-established:

This is the config of the remote for synrepl

syncrepl rid=006

  tls_cert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ldap-tls.curry.edu.cert.pem

  tls_key=/etc/pki/tls/private/ldap-tls.curry.edu.key.pem

  schemachecking=on
