Hi,

I have 2 Openldaps that are configured for replication one is on site, the other is a remote. They are connected via a VPN tunnel and every time there is a connection problem between the two the replication fails, but I have to stop the services on the remote, delete the database and start a fresh replication. Is there a way that I can configure the remote to force it to re-synch without having to delete the database and start all over again?

This is what I see in the log after connection gets re-established:
