Re: Some openldap 2.4 questions

Hi,
Three quick issues about slapd 2.4.
1. I'm setting up a syncrepl replication. In the process of testing, I had
added three syncprov overlays instead of one, and I ended up with:
The thing is, that I cannot delete any of them because cn=config does
not
support delete operation.
Is this ok to leave it as is? or any workaround to get rid of the unwanted ones?
Since it's just a test installation, your best action is to delete it all and
start over with the correct LDIF.
2. About N-Way replication... What's the best authentication to
use? Because
(1) RootDN is the admin, and (2) in simple authentication I would store cleartext
password in the syncrepl configuration, I'm assuming that (3) the best here would
be to use some SASL mech?
What do any of these 3 points have to do with each other, let alone with N-way
replication?
3. Assuming a running normal replication(master-slave) with
refreshAndPersist,
is there any method of checking of the status of the replication? like show
slave status in MySQL. I have tested it with cutting the transmission by
iptables, and ok, it caught up after reconnection, but the master did not
complain at all when the connection was not there...
If you had read the docs http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html
you wouldn't need to ask such questions.
