Hello.
I'm trying to replicate access rules and limits for one of my databases, but with no success: suse:~ # cat olcAccess-syncrepl.ldif dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config changetype: modify add: olcSyncrepl olcSyncrepl: {1}rid=002 provider=ldap://ldap1.local bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,cn=config" credentials="TopSecret" searchbase="olcDatabase={1}**mdb,cn=config" attrs="olcAccess,olcLimits" timeout=3 network-timeout=0 starttls=yes tls_cert="/etc/openldap/ldap.**pem" tls_key="/etc/openldap/ldap.**key" tls_cacert="/etc/ssl/local-ca.**pem" tls_reqcert=demand tls_crlcheck=none
suse:~ # ldapmodify -H ldap://ldap2.local -ZZxWD cn=admin,cn=config -f olcAccess-syncrepl.ldif Enter LDAP Password: modifying entry "olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config" ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) additional info: Base DN "olcAccess,olcLimits" is not within the database naming context
slapd-2.4.33 if it matters.
The error message is a bit garbled (obviously the Base DN is wrong) but the error is basically correct. You're trying to replicate the wrong thing from the wrong place. Setting a syncrepl consumer on the olcDatabase={1}mdb database lets you replicate the *content* of that database. To replicate the *configuration* of that database your consumer must be set where that configuration is stored.
The configuration is stored in olcDatabase={0}config.
Thanks Howard, but I still cannot get things working.
Could you exaplain me following (i read documentation but it is not clear enough for me to understand): Does parameter `searchbase' in olcSyncrepl configuration statement set search starting point or it sets just a database name (which is set in olcSuffix) where search is performed?
Here is my configuration provider setup: ldap1:~ # ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap1.local -LLLZZxWD cn=admin,cn=config -b olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config '&' dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig olcOverlay: {0}syncprov olcSpCheckpoint: 100 10 olcSpSessionlog: 100
Here is my configuration consumer: ldap2:~ # ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap2.local -LLLZZxWD cn=admin,cn=config -b olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config '&' olcSyncrepl Enter LDAP Password: dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider=ldap://ldap1.local bindmethod=simple bind dn="cn=admin,cn=config" credentials="TopSecret" searchbase="cn=con fig" scope=sub filter="(olcDatabase={1}mdb)" attrs="olcAccess,olcLimits" retr y="60 +" timeout=3 network-timeout=0 starttls=yes tls_cert="/etc/openldap/lda p.pem" tls_key="/etc/openldap/ldap.key" tls_cacert="/etc/ssl/local-ca.pem" t ls_reqcert=demand tls_crlcheck=none
A bit offtopic: could you guys implement some kind of human friendly formatting for long line statements and ACLs? So previous statement would look like this when i fetch it from catalog: olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider=ldap://ldap1.local bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,cn=config" credentials="TopSecret" searchbase="cn=config" scope=sub filter="(olcDatabase={1}mdb)" attrs="olcAccess,olcLimits" retry="60 +" timeout=3 network-timeout=0 starttls=yes tls_cert="/etc/openldap/ldap.pem" tls_key="/etc/openldap/ldap.key" tls_cacert="/etc/ssl/local-ca.pem" t ls_reqcert=demand tls_crlcheck=none
