Oops... sorry... had inadvertently used "reply" rather than "reply all"!

Seems that if I used "ldapdelete -ZZ <dn>" on a single entry e.g., "uid=someuser,ou=Users,o=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz" that propagates fine. But if I delete the parent in bulk "ldapdelete -ZZ ou=Users,o=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz" then none of the "delete entry" actions get propagated to the other masters. They still have the entire tree.

Is that the expected behavior? Should I only ever delete children nodes and not containers?

Thanks, Frank

The interesting thing to me, is that a single "ldapdelete -ZZ <dn>" works and propagates no problem. That's really why I'm wondering if there is something non-obvious about "ldapdelete -ZZ *-r* <dn>" (recursive). Or is it that there is some issue in my configuration?

Well, anyway, my test is going to do "higher up the tree" bulk deletes and see if I have any different results.

I'm trying to use ldapsearch and ldapadd for backup and restore with N-Way MMR on the backend. Maybe it's just my MMR config that's incorrect??

And I still need to have "delete entry" propagate to all masters. We have formal tests that will be exercising that capability with our users, roles, perms, etc. We have GUIs that add/change/delete entries for administration, etc. I can even expect "bulk" deletes from those GUIs.

I'll be doing various experiments to change the replication parameters and probably add a session log, etc. I was just hoping that someone could point me to how/where I can better understand this. (I have and am reading the Admin Guide, man pages, and even "Mastering LDAP", etc., just BTW.) I must have missed something somewhere.

Generally one does backup and restore using slapcat & slapadd. What are you trying to accomplish?
