Hello everyone, I'm trying to convert my two node replicated OpenLDAP pair to a three-way pair and am having trouble with configuring the slapd.conf files. Can anyone tell me what I need to add here? Below is my newly modified slapd.conf file with the system03 addition: ----- slapd.conf on system01 replicating to system02 and system03 ----- [...] serverID 001 [...] syncrepl rid=0 provider=ldap://sys02 type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:00:30 retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="dc=mydomain,dc=local" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="*,+" scope=sub schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=local" credentials="secret" updateref ldap://sys02 syncrepl rid=0 provider=ldap://sys03 type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:00:30 retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="dc=mydomain,dc=local" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="*,+" scope=sub schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=local" credentials="secret" updateref ldap://sys03 mirrormode TRUE overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10

Thanks Jonathan! I would think that updateref would need to point to my other two systems, but perhaps I don't fully get what updateref does in this case. Can you explain how this is used in n-way replication?
