Description dpa-openldap@aegee.org 2017-01-07 20:13:10 UTC 
Full_Name: Дилян Палаузов
Version: 2.4.44
OS: any

Submission from: (NULL) (141.2.134.77)


The manual states in section 5.2.5.8 olcSyncrepl, second last paragraph: "The
syncrepl replication mechanism is supported by the bdb and hdb backends".

This text above is repeated in section 6.2.3.7 syncrepl.

But in section 18.1.1.2. Syncrepl Details, fourth paragraph, is written 'The
syncrepl engine, which is a consumer-side replication engine, can work with any
backends.  The LDAP Sync provider can be configured as an overlay on any
backend, but works best with the back-bdb back-hdb, or back-mdb backends.'

Can syncrepl work with any backend and does it work with bdb equally good as
with mdb?

Fixed to mention back-mdb/mdb where appropriate.  At the time the 
documentation was written, back-mdb didn't exist.
