Thanks for the reply!

Yes, but this is the only way the documentation points to in order to have a push-based replication initiated by the provider, do you agree? Bellow is part of OL documentation:

18.2.4. Syncrepl Proxy Mode

While the LDAP Sync protocol supports both pull- and push-based replication, the push mode (refreshAndPersist) must still be initiated

from the consumer before the provider can begin pushing changes (...) This mode can be configured with the aid of the LDAP Backend

(Backends and slapd-ldap(8)). Instead of running the syncrepl engine on the actual consumer, a slapd-ldap proxy is set up near (or

  collocated with) the provider that points to the consumer, and the syncrepl engine runs on the proxy.

  18.2.4.1. Replacing Slurpd

  The old slurpd mechanism only operated in provider-initiated push mode. Slurpd replication was deprecated in favor of Syncrepl replication

and has been completely removed from OpenLDAP 2.4.

Using the old slurpd, it was possible to filter which attributes I would like to send to the consumer. But, as far as could understand, this

workaround is not possible with the above proposal (from doc).

Do you see any other way to achieve this feature?

Kind regards, Italo.
