Fedora directory users - Jan 2008 - Re: Setting up Multi-Master replication between 7.1 and 1.0.1-4

Ulf,

 

Thanks, you gave me some things to look at. The spacing seems to be OK,
and the same code worked to do the Replica object insertion into the 7.1
server.

 

I think the problem is that when I configured the 1.0.1-4 server, I had
it store the config data in the 7.1 server. As a result, the "mapping
tree" part of config does not have a subordinate named
"dc=company,dc=com". So, when the mmr.pl script goes to insert the
Replica object, it fails.

 

I wonder if this is because I had the setup script store config
information for 1.0.1-4 in 7.1. Perhaps if it was stored locally I could
start multi-master?

The configuration the installer talks about storing when selecting a 
configuration directory is for the Administration Server, not for the 
local Directory Server configuration, so the suffix mapping can''t have 
ended up in the wrong instance, it''s always local.

When you installed 7.1 it should have asked what suffix you want to use 
as your default suffix.  Look again in your dse.ldif for the mapping 
tree entry with "nsslapd-backend: userRoot", what is the cn of it?  If
you entered "dc=company,dc=com" at installation time, the cn of this 
mapping tree node would match that.
