Hello
All is in the subject ! I need to start a replication server. Actually I run only one server and would like to start another one just in case the main stop/crash.
Both machines runs FreeBSD , slapd is installed from FreeBSD ports on both machines, OpenLDAPversion is the same.
Thanks for any pointers/links.
1) Understand difference between old style config and cn=config
2) Read and learn about different replication topologies. Master-Slave, Multi-Master, Proxy.... What you need is syncrepl.
Admin guide: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html
Replication overview: search for suretec slides: OpenLDAP replication strategies, Gavin Henry
3) Man pages. Google...
A good book: Mastering OpenLDAP (Packt publishing) Don't trust on 'Zytrax' documentation!
