Re: replication having multiple backends

you mean the following:

replica         host=ldap2.domain.net:389
                suffix="dc=2,dc=domain,dc=net"
                binddn="cn=replicator,dc=2,dc=domain,dc=net"
                bindmethod=simple
                credentials=secret

the suffix *is* in the replica statement.

but when I do changes on the branch "dc=2,dc=domain,dc=net" slurpd also tries to update in the branches "dc=1,dc=domain,dc=net", "dc=3,dc=domain,dc=net" and so on, whith the referral error as result.

is there something wrong in the replica statement?

thx for the help

ok, i think that you have severals slaves and you want selective
replication, dont?

for this purpouses you could use the suffix modifier at the replica
statement. with this, you will get that only the
replica of this branchs get the change, the others slapd will not receive
it.

hi there!

we have some problems with slurpd having to deal with multiple backends.

whenever we change something on the master slapd, the changes got
written into the (one and only) slapd replication log file. slurpd grabs
it correctly and does the update to the appropriate backend on the
slave, but, and here comes the weird part:

slurpd also tries to update all the other backends, which are hooked on
other branches of the directory tree.
so slurpd gets a referral message back from the slave slapd (correct,
cause this is the wrong branch for the update), and slurpd treats this
referral message as an error, and puts it into the rejection log.

does anyone know, what is going wrong here?

the slurpd rejection logfile:

ERROR: Referral
replica: ldap2.domain.net:389
time: 1054742636.1
dn: something=test,dc=1,dc=domain,dc=net
changetype: add
objectClass: something
something: test
creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=1,dc=domain,dc=net
createTimestamp: 20030604160356Z
modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=1,dc=domain,dc=net
modifyTimestamp: 20030604160356Z

with number of backends minus one reiterations of the above error per
update.

this is the config:
