Hello, We need some help to resolve the intermittent sync replication issue. We have configured mirror mode replication with two nodes. Node1 syncrepl
{0}rid=1 provider=ldaps://AWPCISQL22.otxlab.net:6366 type=refreshAndPersist searchbase="o=otxlab.net" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Directory Manager,o=otxlab.net" credentials=d retry="60 10 300 +" timeout=60 tls_reqcert=never tls_cacert="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCISQL22.otxlab.net-cert.cer" tls_cert="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCISQL22.otxlab.net-cert.cer" tls_key="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCISQL22.otxlab.net-key.pvk"
Node2 syncrepl
{0}rid=2 provider=ldaps://AWPCTHA1.otxlab.net:6366 type=refreshAndPersist searchbase="o=otxlab.net" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Directory Manager,o=otxlab.net" credentials=d retry="60 10 300 +" timeout=60 tls_reqcert=never tls_cacert="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCTHA1.otxlab.net-cert.cer" tls_cert="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCTHA1.otxlab.net-cert.cer" tls_key="C:\Program Files\OpenText\CARS\defaultInst\certificates\AWPCTHA1.otxlab.net-key.pvk"
olcMultiProvider is ON.
We have tested replication and observed that inserting an entry into Node1 syncs to Node2, and adding an entry to Node2 syncs to Node1. Similarly, delete and update operations are working as expected.
However, during continuous updates to Node1 (while both Node1 and Node2 are running, and operations like importing an .ldif file from JXplorer to Node1), some entries are not syncing to Node1. The replication logs show the following message:
"rid=002 entry 'cn=GetCollection,cn=Method Set ISVPackage,cn=Cordys ESBServer,cn=cordys,cn=defaultInst,o=otxlab.net' csn=20231124172411.004202Z#000000#001#000000 not new enough, ignored"
We created ticket 10136 to address this issue but did not identify the root cause initially. Upon analysis, we found that all entries producing the "not new enough, ignored" message are not syncing to Node2.
We were previously using OpenLDAP 2.4 version, and this scenario worked correctly. However, we started noticing the issue after upgrading to OpenLDAP 2.5.13 version. Upon reviewing the syncrepl defect fixes, we identified this fix: https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/commit/8d428f3163e56f90cb84cddf..., which appears to be causing the problem. We reverted this fix locally, rebuilt OpenLDAP, and tested it. The issue is not reproducible with the reverted fix.
In summary, the basic scenario of adding entries to Node1 is not syncing to Node2 sometimes. Do you have any suggestions to avoid this issue?
