Well, it doesn't work for me, and hasn't for the two weeks I've been wrestling with it.
Could you please post a *working* LDIF file of Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master"? (I can substitute my real values if you keep the "$xxx" labels in there, of course.)
The LDIF in that section on the website apepars, to my eyes, to be acceptable, on a piece-wise basis BY THE ldapadd AND/OR ldapmodify PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN OPENLDAP.
If you cannot figure out how to set up your server to that its cn=config tree can modified with ldapadd and ldapmodify, then stop playing with replication and figure that out.
I want to be able to feed the above LDIF file in to slapadd and obtain both config db replication and also data replication.
Nope, sorry, that's not something that the project documents. It may be possible in some cases but in general you need to use ldapmodify
I stand by my assertion that not all the chunks there are valid RFC 2849 LDIF. OpenLDAP's ldapmodify accepts them, but at least this chunk may be rejected by other tools that comply with the standard and cannot be considered portable dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcServerID olcServerID: 1 $URI1 olcServerID: 2 $URI2 olcServerID: 3 $URI3
as it lacks the required terminating "-" line.
