It is not now, nor has it ever been, supported to do an offline add via
slapadd on a master, and then magically expect that to replicate out to a
consumer via syncrepl. Syncrepl is an active protocol (it replicates the
changes that occur while slapd is running). If you are going to offline
modify slapd on the master, you will have to do the same thing on the
replicas, OR reload them via slapadd, OR trigger a refresh manually on
the replicas.
How to trigger a refresh on a replica?
One question:
My disaster recovery (and sandbox initialization) is using slapadd to
bring up a fresh instance of my ldap environment. Technically:
- bring up n replicated slapds with an empty db
- stop them
- slapadd the db dump into A
- start A
- start B..
That always worked. By now, I have to say.
I even use slapadd without -w.
Do I understand correctly, that I should prefer the use of ldapadd?
Does ldapadd also support operational and user attributes?
