i've "successfully" set up replication in a master-slave orientation, with persistent replication; the consumer receives database changes as they are made to the master.
i initialize the consumer database using a ldif created on the provider: /"//slapcat -b dc=murphy,dc=bz-v -l transfer.ldif" /
Initializing the consumer database is not mandatory. Syncrepl will replicate all entries on first startup.
Of course, if you have a large number of entries in your directory, you may want to "prime" the consumer like this to avoid large network transfers.
it has been functional for the past three weeks.for the most part it works, entries are updated immediately. however, twice the data entires within all organizational units have been deleted and about four times either the syncuser or the admin cn's have been deleted from the consumer.
That doesn't sound completely functional to me...
i'm about to start over and entirely reconfigure the consumer. i'd appreciate any feedback on anything that needs adjusting in my configuration or any gotchas. specifically - is my syncrepl directive accurate? - in initial configuration (dpkg) should i setup a different database than the one i intend to replicate?
both consumer and provider are running openldap 2.4.15-1ubuntu3
There have been many bugs fixed since 2.4.15 was released, in particular concerning syncrepl and syncprov. If you're setting up this system now, I really recommend using the latest version (2.4.17).
Regarding your configuration, it looks OK at a quick glance. A few comments: - you don't need syncprov overlay on the consumer. - the "interval" parameter is only useful for refreshOnly. - your "retry" parameter will (eventually) stop retrying. Use the "+" modifier to cause retry forever.
I hope this helps, Jonathan
thanks.
