Hey Quanah,
Oh no, my question was whether an arbitrary external variable (eg. URI1)
could be set (eg. to ldap://host1.hq.mycompany.com:389/) inside an LDIF
file and used in subsequent places in the file.
(to avoid having to type in the value in multiple places).
I suppose not?
Assuming not, I typed in each value into all its relevant places in my LDIF
file and re-ran slapadd.
Now it gives me the following error (on latest redhat 64bit):
loaded module syncprov.la
*module syncprov.la: null module registered*
Surely the above message signifies an error?
Anyway, processing continues until it gives the following final error:
>> dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>
<<<
dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>, <cn=config>
*<= str2entry: str2ad(changetype): attribute type undefined*
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=48)
Could you please advise? I have no clue as to what is going wrong.
I have attached the LDIF file "nwaymmr2s.ldif" and the debug output from
running the command slapadd -d -1 -v -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l
/etc/openldap/nwaymmr2s.ldif >& output.txt.
Also, do I need to run slappasswd and copy the hash value from it into my
LDIF' file's olcRootPW field value?
Or can I just keep the original value, "secret"?
And a final question, please:
Why does the data replication (unlike the config replication, which does
operate in refreshAndPersist mode) have to operate in refreshOnly mode?
Why can't it operate in refreshAndPersist mode?
Thank you very much.

There is no URI bit in the admin guide. I highly advise you go re-read
it. What you posted is clearly invalid.
From the admin guide:
>
------------------------------**-----------------------
Now we setup the first Master Node (replace $URI1, $URI2 and $URI3 etc.
with your actual ldap urls):
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 $URI1
olcServerID: 2 $URI2
olcServerID: 3 $URI3
------------------------------**-----------------------
I.e. the attribute name is "olcServerID".

Check wether the modul has been built and is in the defined directory,
if not, check wether syncprov has been built in slapd. slapd -VVV will
show you all builtin modules.

Hey Dieter,
Thank you very much for your email.
It turns out that in RedHat the overlays are automatically installed, and
so should not be loaded again with olcModuleLoad.
Thanks very much for your advice! On to the next problem:
I can't understand what in the world could be causing the following error:
>> dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>
<<<
dnPrettyNormal: <cn=config>, <cn=config>
*<= str2entry: str2ad(changetype): attribute type undefined*
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=48)
Thanks again, and best regards

The sladpadd(8) manpage says:
-----
DESCRIPTION
Slapadd is used to add entries specified in LDAP Directory Interchange
Format (LDIF) to a slapd(8) database. <...>
-----
Note the word "entries" there. slapadd only accepts LDIF 'content'
records and not 'change' records. So, this record in your LDIF:
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 ldap://10.12.223.10:389/
olcServerID: 2 ldap://10.12.223.11:389/
olcServerID: 3 ldap://10.12.223.12:389/
is not valid for slapadd. If you want to alter entries like that then
you'll both
1) need to use the ldapmodify utility instead, and
2) make your input valid LDIF!
To elaborate on the latter:
* an LDIF file cannot mix entry ('content') records and change records
* each modification specified has to be terminated with a line containing
just a hyphen; check ldif(5) or RFC 2849 for examples.

No, it is normal.

Hi Philip,
hank you very much for your email.
In that case, my original surmise is correct: The OpenLDAP Administrator's
Guide's Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master" definitely is buggy.
Because my LDIF file is a direct copy thereof (except for my environment
values substituted in instead of the labels such as $URI1, of course.)
How can this be reported as a bug, please? (In OpenLDAP documentation
or/and code).
And can a *working* sample LDIF file be provided, please, for this
important replication design, n-way multi-master?
Thank you very much and best regards.

Documentation and/or code issues are welcomed in the OpenLDAP ITS
<http://www.openldap.org/its> so feel free to submit there.
Patches/specific wording recommendations would be particularly welcome.
And can a *working* sample LDIF file be provided, please, for this
important replication design, n-way multi-master?
test050-syncrepl-multimaster and test063-delta-multimaster both Work For
Me. In your source tree, cd tests and then "./run -b mdb test050" or
"./run -b mdb test063" -- look in the "testrun" directory for the
associated configurations and data. Note that test063 only does 2 servers
out of the box, and it looks like setting MMR > 2 is broken there at the
moment. I'll leave that as an exercise...

The example in 18.3.3 works perfectly when you substitute the correct values
in for the variables and follow the steps listed.
