Since "only some systems support the customization of these values; the keepalive parameter is ignored otherwise", how can I make sure that this parameter has been configured successfully and is enabled on my system (CentOS 7)? I enabled "loglevel config stats sync"but I don't see any mention of configured syncrepl parameters during OpenLDAP start.

Hi Nick,

The keepalive parameter was added after the initial 2.4 release, and after the current sections on replication in the admin guide were written. It was created because I kept encountering issues at customer sites where load balancers & packet shapers were closing the syncrepl connection.

Oh, and to answer your other question -- "keepalive" works on linux, but not necessarily other *nixes or Windows. So CentOS7 would be fine.
