回复： mirror mode question
Hi Michael and Dieter,
Thanks for your kindly replies.
In my case, I didn't use any SASL or TLS but "simple" method with
operation mode of user/password authenticated. However, I need the rootpw hashed (not
cleartext) and the 2 servers (master & slave) synchronized.
Could you pls advise how i should modify the syncrepl part? or could you pls provide a
sample of the slapd.conf file configuration?
Best regards,
Eileen

In order to use sasl, passwords must be cleartext and you should
configure an apropriate authz-regexp, see man slapd.conf(5)
You may use any sasl mechanism that you sasl framework provides.
[...]
To be more precise: In order to use password-based SASL mechs the passwords
have to be stored in clear-text.
Well, if working with SASL and TLS (LDAPS, StartTLS) one should consider using
client certs and SASL/EXTERNAL for replication.
Ciao, Michael.
