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.

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?

Thanks and Regards, Naga Chaitanya

Hi,

I am trying to set up N-way multimaster configuration using syncrepl on openldap2.4 for RHEL 5.4

Currently I am using two masters for testing.

The slapd.conf on server1 is moduleload syncprov.la serverid 124 ldap://devonly144.comverse-in.com syncrepl rid=124 provider=ldap://devonly144.comverse-in.com:389 type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:01:00 searchbase="dc=comverse-in,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub attrs="*" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=comverse-in,dc=com" credentials=sonora

index objectClass,entryCSN,entryUUID eq mirrormode true

overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10

The slapd.conf on server2 is moduleload syncprov.la serverid 123 ldap://uplite98.comverse-in.com syncrepl rid=123 provider=ldap://uplite98.comverse-in.com:389 type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:01:00 searchbase="dc=comverse-in,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub attrs="*" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=comverse-in,dc=com" credentials=sonora

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.

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.

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.
