See slapd.conf(5) or slapd-config(5), the section on syncrepl/olcSyncRepl, the sizelimit and timelimit parameters. But, regardless, the server limits on the master trump any client settings that are higher than the defaults, so as Dieter noted, they must be increased on the master to "unlimited" for at least the replicator DN. This is of course covered in the admin guide. For example, in section 18.3.2, we find: # Let the replica DN have limitless searches limits dn.exact="cn=replicator,dc=symas,dc=com" time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=unlimited size.hard=unlimited as one example. etc. Regards, Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
