Hello,

I believe the answer is here >
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html
To be more specific, you will have to take only some parts of Syncrepl
proxy. This could give you better look at things >

And also, our configs (for ilustration):

--- master ----
# Indices to maintain
index                   objectClass             eq

# Indices for SyncRepl
index entryCSN,entryUUID eq

## These indexes are included to support calls such as
## getpwuid(  ), getpwnam(  ), and
## getgrgid(  ).
index     cn,uid        eq
index     uidNumber     eq
index     gidNumber     eq

# Replication - go and get me
overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100

# Let the replica DN have limitless searches
limits dn.exact="cn=syncuser,dc=domain,dc=tld" time.soft=unlimited
time.hard=unlimited size.soft=unlimited size.hard=unlimited
--- master ----

--- slave (replica) ----
overlay syncprov

syncrepl        rid=002
                provider=ldaps://master.domain.tld:636/
                binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=domain,dc=tld"
                bindmethod=simple
                credentials=clearTextPswd
                searchbase="dc=domain,dc=tld"
# persistent connection
                type=refreshAndPersist
                retry="5 5 300 +"

# reference updates to master
updateref ldaps://master.domain.tld:636
--- slave (replica) ----

Have a nice evening,
