Confused about replication, please help

[Rob Tanner <rtanner@linfield.edu>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up replication between my master and a slave. 

In slapd.conf on the slave, I have included the updatedn and updateref 
parameters:

updatedn        "cn=Replicator,o=linfield.edu"
updateref        ldap://oberon.linfield.edu

I presume that the ref refers to the slave so I have entered the URL for 
the slave which seems odd because you have to be able to access the 
slave to get the updateref.  The other thing is that I find no parameter 
in the man page for slapd.conf or googling for the password.

On the master, I have:

replica host=oberon.linfield.edu:389
   binddn="cn=Replicator,,o=linfield.edu"
   bindmethod=simple

This entry should include "credentials=".  If I've no place to specify a 
password for the updatedn on the slave, what do I put for credentials?

Could somebody please fill in the holes?

Thanks,
Rob
