But when defining “replica”, I got the following questions.

1.    For credentials, can I use hashed password like for rootpw
   

No, credentials have to provided in clear since slurpd is a LDAP client to the slave.

a bit off topic, but is this also valid for 2.4.x series?

slurpd is not available in 2.4.x anymore.

I'm sorry, I just took this as common.

...

perhaps SALS would allow hashed passwords?

No. E.g. SASL bind DIGEST-MD5 needs the clear-text password in the config(!) to be able to generate the hash over the challenge value and the clear-text password. A hash is transmitted over wire though.

Yep. But I've meant hashed password in config (and so did Sai). I was just curious, if I haven't overlooked something :)

Thanks! Zdenek
