RE: Antw: Re: Upgrading from 2.4.26 to 2.4.41: Stricter checks prevent startup?
Good morning Ulrich,
I believe there is a misunderstanding regarding the purpose for multiple
olcServerIDs in the slapd.d configuration. By listing server ids for all of
the masters in your MMR architecture, you can essentially make all of your
master servers' configurations identical. Slapd will apply the serverID that
matches the server's FQDN and ignore the rest.
Domain/IP address resolution should be handled by DNS; not the slapd
configuration. The serverID is only used by the other producer servers for
communication, so set each olcServerID to use the FQDN known by the other
producer/master servers in the MMR architecture.
3 Master MMR Architecture Example:
olcServerID: 1 ldap://server1.example.com
olcServerID: 2 ldap://server2.example.com
olcServerID: 3 ldap://server3.example.com

That's not how things work and that is not what the documentation is
saying. You specify only a single serverID and URI *per server* not
per URI that the server uses.
I don't quite understand (replicated cn=config for MMR):
Assume a server has two IP addresses and names n1.d.o, n2.d.o associated
with it. So the
olcServerID: 1 ldap://n1.d.o:389
olcServerID: 1 ldap://n2.d.o:389
...other servers...
is illegal. How would the correct statement look like? How would it look
like if I also include ldaps: URIs?

Yes.
