RE: N-way multi master configuration issue - openldap-technical

30 Aug 2011

      Hi,
I was able to get the syncronization working between 2 providers.
I had to remove data on both the servers and start from beginning.
It worked.
Now i am facing another issue.
In case of single provider-client configuration, fot tls, i used to generate certificate on server and copy the same certificate to client for encrypted communication between provider and client.
Now in case of N-way multimaster, i created server1 certificate and copied that certificate to server2 and vice versa. but there is no communication happening between the servers now.
Can you please let me know how to use tls with N-way multimaster for N=2 and N>2.
Thanks and Regards,
Naga Chaitanya

Hi Buchan,
After making the changes are per your suggestions, I am still not able to read data between the servers.
Also, I deleted DI data on server 2 and restarted to import data from server1 , but no use.
Can you please check the slapd.conf files and suggest.

Hi buchan,
My server 1 is uplite98.comverse-in.com. In its slapd.conf, I have syncrepl
pointing to server 2 devonly144.comverse-in.com and vice versa for
server2.
Then your serverid (and, it should actually be serverId) is wrong:
...
...
serverid        124       ldap://devonly144.comverse-in.com
syncrepl rid=124
            provider=ldap://devonly144.comverse-in.com:389

The URI form of serverId is useful if you have the same configuration on all
your masters, in which case the listening address of your server must match
one of the URIs. You may want to use this form for now:
serverId 1
If your serverId's weren't correct (check the contextCSNs), you should
probably re-import an export of one server on the other one.
...
I did not exactly understand what you indicated.
Can you please be more specific about what changes needs to be done in the
slapd.conf file?
In a multi-master setup, each server should be replicating off *all* servers,
including itself.
...

Naga Chaitanya

But there is no data synchronization happening between the severs.
Of course not, you have configured each server only to replicate from
itself.
...
When I added test3 user on server1, it is not reflecting on server 2.
Same way when I added test4 user on server2 it is not reflecting on
server1.
Please let me know what is missing in this configuration.
syncrepl statements pointing to the other master.
