Re: slave to master not working...

["Shih-Chang Wang" <purewang@cht.com.tw>]

The problem is:

When slurpd binds to Master, it uses "anonymous" binding. So,
the modification will be failed if the anonymous modification is not allowed
in your Master.
You need to implement "re-bind procedure" in your Client API to re-bind to
Master.
In my experience, Netscape Client SDK has provided such re-binding solution
and work well to OpenLDAP server.
