I am trying to notify a system to check if the openLDAP server is
provider or consumer.I can do this by getting a referral error on the

their any other way to check if OpenLDAP is provider or consumer without
writing to it ? .

You could query for the updateref setting if you are using cn=config out of the config DB, but that'd require the rootdn?  Or, you could just set up slapo-chain on your replica, and then it doesn't matter.
