replica host-192.168.129.18:389
           suffix ="dc=mydomain,dc=com"
           binddn="cn=manager,dc=msdpl,dc=com"
           credentials=secret
           bind method = simple
#####################################################

at slave ldap server slapd.conf

database bdb
suffix "dc=msdpl,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=manager,dc=msdpl,dc=com"

idletimeout 30
timelimit 50
