I have a master openldap 2.3 server which is replicated via syncrepl on half a dozen other servers (2.3 too).
Please tell us the exact version.
2.3.27-8 on Centos5.2
Note that the latest release in the 2.3 series was 2.3.43.
CHANGES in CVS branch OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_3 even mentions "2.3.44 Engineering" with a fix. If you go through CHANGES you will see many syncrepl-related fixes mentioned after 2.3.27. So you definitely should use a more recent version. (Yes, we all know the arguments for using the distro packages. This has been discussed before...)
OK, I'll consider that path. Thanks for the advice.
Due to a legacy application from which I have to import passwords once a day, the master server is stopped, erased and re-built from scratch once every day...
Why don't you just reset the passwords?
I'd love to, I'd really love to. The problem is : this legacy application is used by our clients so we can't remove it right now and the person who developped it never documented it and has left the team. So I'm stuck with it until all my clients migrate to the new application. I'm hoping this won't be too long but in the mean time I have to make do with it.
Well, dropping the whole DB resetting all passwords is weird anyway. Why are you doing replication at all. I'd have a look at this sync implementation. It can't be too hard to understand it if you have the source or at least have access to the data model of the source database.
I agree it's very weird. The way many things function here are, to put it mildly, very weird...
Thanks for the info.
Best regards,
Ciao, Michael.
