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?
Many thanks,
