Re: Regarding slapd

I can't really help you that much because I haven't written any client
tools, but I can see some mistakes in what you have written below that might
indicate you misunderstand how openldap works:

> it gets updated here in slave slap but never gets replicated in master

This is functioning as normal: There is no support for slave-to-master
replication. Your client should not update the slave at all.

> i know that slave will not chase the referral

Slaves do not chase referrals. They send referrals to clients, and the
clients chase them.

> and slave is not returning the referral to master indeed.

I don't understand what you are saying here... are you saying that the slave
is not sending the referral back to the client? That does not seem possible,
given that ldapadd does work.
