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

This is Eileen from China SINAP. I am a beginner for openldap soft. I encountered a problem in my study on two LDAP services replication. I have 2 LDAP services, one name LDPA1, the other is LDAP2 . I want to make them synchronously in mirror mode. But when I set LDAP services rootpw both in hash, the 2 LDAP serivces can’t be synchronous. My question is
if I set my rootpw in hash, my bindmethod must be SASL? If Imust use sasl method, can I put the sasl service in the same ldap service? If bindmethod=sasl then what is the saslmech should be? 2. If I change to sasl method, do I need change my database record?
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.
