Hi Quanah,

 

It’s not a replication setup. The consumer is a relatively ancient proprietary implementation of the syncrepl protocol, over which I have very influence.

 

I believe the problem is syncprov.c lines 3335 and 3341, which appear to be setting `do_present = SS_PRESENT;` while simultaneously ignoring the value of si->si_nopres. Replacing the lines above with `if ( !si->si_nopres ) do_present = SS_PRESENT;` appears to fix the problem for my use case, and is closer to how the logic worked in previous versions of slapd.

 

Thanks!

 

Lisa

Hello,

You'd have to better describe your replication setup.  The *only* time
no-present should be set to TRUE is when it's on top of an accesslog
database that's being used by delta-syncrepl, as explicitly stated in the
man page.

Quanah
