Hello,
I am using two OpenLDAP 2.4.31 servers with delta-syncrepl as replication method. So far everything works perfectly but I was wondering how I can modify cn=config settings on the consumer. For instance I would like to add new indexes (olcDbIndex) on the consumer to my replicated HDB database but this fails as you can see here:
ldap_modify: Server is unwilling to perform (53) additional info: shadow context; no update referral
I understand that it does not want me to modify any settings on my consumer but I was thinking this should be possible no? If not this means if I want to change a setting on the consumer I need to delete my whole database on the consumer configure it and add replication again.
Looks like you are you also replicating cn=config.
It appears you have 3 options:
1) Do not replicate cn=config and allow individual changes at each node.
2) Replicate cn=config to all servers and modify cn=config on the provider.
3) Use multimaster replication or configure referrals and perhaups chaining to allow changes on each node.
