Hello, 

I have been trying to configure my slave ldap servers to send changes to the master servers. 
From what I have been able to understand from previous mailing lists and various google searches I need to configure and olcUpdateref on the salve and then add the chaining overlay (I think it should be on the olcDatabase{-1}frontend database from everything I have read however slaptest using openldap-2.4.36 slapd-chain2.conf as the seed generates the overlay atop of the declared database…) 

Everything I have been trying results in a failure:

ldap_modify: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
additional info: operation restricted

 I cannot for the life of me figure out what needs to be done to enable this. 
Any help would be appreciated, my ldifs are included below.
