Hi Quanah,

I got a question about your blog about MMR. You wrote:

Add the syncprov and accesslog overlays to the existing primary database.  Note that it will be renumber from dn: olcDatabase={2}mdb,cn=config to dn: olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config

But you did not explain why you renumber the entry. Could you do tell me the reason ehy you did this?

Hi Stefan,

Two reasons:

a) Just to demonstrate the way in which cn=config can be used to re-number items.

b) If you use the null suffix (suffix "" with slapd.conf or an empty olcSuffix: attribute with cn=config), other databases must be delcared first. I spent most of the last 13 years working with a DB like that, so I tend to organize my configs to support that setup.

Regards, Quanah

I am curious, because I am thinking about enabling delta-syncrepl on our slapd infrastructure; as it was _recommended_ multiple times in the last mail threads.

Many thanks,
