Good day OpenLDAP folks. I am looking to upgrade our current OpenLDAP to the latest 2.6 release from my current install of 2.4.44. I am wondering if:
- Is it possible to have one master running 2.4.44 and another running
the latest 2.6 replicating to each other? 2) Is replication possible between hosts that have a mixture of: a) slapd.conf & cn=config b) hdb and mdb
It will depend somewhat on what you're replicating. If your 2.6 cn=config has 2.6 specific config options, then you cannot replicate cn=config. There's no such thing as "slapd.conf" replication. If you're not replicating configurations, just the primary hdb/mdb database, the it doesn't matter if one set of systems is using cn=config and the other set is using slapd.conf.
The way in which the underlying database is stored (hdb/mdb) does not matter in terms of replication, because what's replicated are LDIF operations, not binary data.
