Hello everyone, Has anyone experienced the "<olcSyncrepl> invalid URL" error from starting up a consumer slapd? I've tried configuring the provider setting for the syncrepl directive as a domain name and IP address but neither works. Thanks in advance for your help. Here's the error from slapd: *olcSyncrepl: value #0: <olcSyncrepl> invalid URL config error processing olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config: <olcSyncrepl> invalid URL* Here's my consumer slapd.conf: include /opt/openldap-2.4.21/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /opt/openldap-2.4.21/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /opt/openldap-2.4.21/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema pidfile /opt/openldap-2.4.21/var/run/slapd.pid argsfile /opt/openldap-2.4.21/var/run/slapd.args modulepath /opt/openldap-2.4.21/libexec/openldap moduleload back_hdb.la # Overlay for reverse group membership moduleload memberof.la loglevel 16383 # Global database directives overlay memberof memberof-group-oc groupOfNames memberof-member-ad member memberof-memberof-ad memberOf memberof-dangling error memberof-refint TRUE # Enable cn=config changes from LDAP browser database config rootdn "cn=admin,cn=config" rootpw secret database hdb suffix "dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" rootpw secret directory /opt/openldap-2.4.21/var/openldap-data/example-com # Indices to maintain index default eq index cn,uid,member index entryCSN,entryUUID eq index objectClass eq # Other BDB/HDB directives cachesize 10000 checkpoint 1024 10 # Replication syncrepl rid=000 provider=*ldap://192.168.56.3:389* type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="dc=example,dc=com" attrs="*,+" bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" credentials=secret

OpenLDAP 2.4.20 does not have this problem. I compared the olcDatabase={0}config.ldif and olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif files between 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 and noticed that the olcSyncrepl attribute value from 2.4.21 contains a uri="" whereas the olcSyncrepl attribute from 2.4.20 (working version) does not. Is there a workaround for this that will allow me to use 2.4.21 or should I stick with 2.4.20? Thanks, Hung.
