Hi-<br><br>First of all, I hope I am not rehashing a topic that has been endlessly discussed.  I know that syncrepl gets discussed a lot from my searches, but I have not found a specific topic on my issue.<br><br>I started out with OpenLDAP 2.3, with a single provider and two consumers doing syncrepl using a refreshAndPersist type of replication.  Periodically, I would see that one or more of the consumers would fail to synchronize a change made to the provider.  A restart of the consumer would fix this and we could move on.  It was annoying, but not critical at this point.<br>
<br>Since then, I have become more dependent on OpenLDAP and syncrepl.  I have upgraded to 2.4 to try to fix the replication issue, but it seems worse than ever.  I now have one provider and six consumers.  The consumers randomly fail to synchronize (as evidences by contextCSN monitoring).  This happens several times a day.  I&#39;m thinking that maybe there is something wrong with my configuratiuon.  This is what I am using:<br>
<br>Provider:<br>overlay syncprov<br>syncprov-checkpoint 1 10<br>syncprov-sessionlog 100<br>syncprov-nopresent TRUE<br>syncprov-reloadhint TRUE<br>limits dn.exact=&quot;cn=replica,o=users,dc=domain,dc=com&quot; time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=unlimited size.hard=unlimited<br>
<br><br>Consumers (all consumers have the exact same config):<br>syncrepl   rid=123<br>                provider=ldap://<a href="http://ldap.sea.corp.domain.com:389">ldap.sea.corp.domain.com:389</a><br>                binddn=&quot;uid=replica,o=users,dc=domain,dc=com&quot;<br>
                bindmethod=simple<br>                retry=&quot;10 +&quot;<br>                credentials=secret<br>                searchbase=&quot;dc=domain,dc=com&quot;<br>                schemachecking=off<br>                type=refreshAndPersist<br>
                interval=00:00:00:05<br>updateref       ldap://<a href="http://ldap.sea.corp.domain.com">ldap.sea.corp.domain.com</a><br><br>A few &quot;weird&quot; things:<br>* After the upgrade, I notice that the Directory Type on the Root DSE is still OpenLDAP 2.3<br>
* I notice that where previously I could simple create a new consumer by installing a fresh copy of openldap, copying the config from another consumer over, and starting up to get a full copy of the directoy, it now fails to completely replicate and I have to do a full slapcat/slapadd to do the initial population.<br>
<br>Like I said, I hope it&#39;s just something stupid I am doing...<br>
